Hi David,

Is there a backing track you can suggest for Little Walter's "Toddle"?

Thanks.

Hello myuce. No, nothing out

Hello myuce. No, nothing out there will work. I recommend you make your own. Grab a shuffle from your collection and use a recording program to cut and paste one together. Take a one or two-bar section from the I chord of the jam and cut and paste it together to make a modal blues jam track (a song that stays on the I chord for the entire song). I believe this song also has a random IV chord. Listen to the song and count how long it's on the I and where the IV comes in, and again cut and paste a IV chord in the proper place.
