Hi David,

Ive put this question on the general forum but was not able to get any help.

If I find a song Id like to learn with Tabs Ive found it very difficult to find a jam track in the same key.  Is there any site that can adapt a jam track to a different key or must I transpose the Tabs I find online.  

Thanks a million.

Hello Gary. Use the Amazing

Hello Gary. Use the Amazing Slow Downer (or a program like it) to change the key of the jam tracks (you can also adjust the tempo if needed) and save it for later use (so you don't have to do this each time).

My two favorite blues jam tracks are...

http://jimileeband.com - GrooveTrax™ Backing Tracks "Every Groove A Bluesman Needs To Know"

and...

http://www.ultijamtracks.com Ultimate Jam Tracks

As for harmonica-specific, Sho has made tracks... email him from here http://www.bluesharptracks.com and see what he has available.

Also, Hal Leonard has a cool one for Little Walter tunes called "Hal Leonard Little Walter Harmonica Play-Along Series." Doing a search under that name will give you purchase options.
