Hi David.  All snowed in here in St. Louis so I'm working on Blues in the Dark today.  Do you know of a good backing track to use?  Shoji doesn't have one, unless I missed it.  If it's in the wrong key (likely) I can change it with Audacity.  Something in E might work.

 

Thanks,

Steve

I haven't found one that fits well either. I recommend you look for a swing and slow it down to match the slower groove. Best wishes on the song, it's a great tune!

Yeah it's hard to find one

Yeah it's hard to find one with a ii V i at that tempo. I'll try and slow down a swing.
