This week we're jamming along to the classic tune Whiskey Before Breakfast and I've got  three brand new backing track episodes for you. This episode is what I call the 'jam along' episode. Here's how it works. I play backup once through, so you can play the tune, then I play the tune so you can work on backup. I then repeat the whole thing three times, so it's four times through in total. 

We're in the key of D at 85 bpm. I'm playing it on guitar with a capo at the second fret.

  • backing track starts at 1:21


Don't forget to check out the other two episodes when you're done.
