This e minor blues track also features the classic blues scales, chords and progressions from the key of E minor, which makes it perfect for any blues or blues rock song that's written in the key of E minor.

The chords for this E minor Blues Backing track are the traditional 12 bar minor blues form:

Em| Em| Em| Em| Am| Am| Em| Em| Bm| Am| Bm| B7|

This backing track is about 10 minutes long at 60 BPM, so plenty of time to jam over in the A minor pentatonic scale and perfect your guitar (or other instruments!) solo :)

As you can see this minor 12 bar blues backing track is firmly rooted in E minor and is in a 'Nashville' slow blues style.

Nashville style blues is known for its long notes and slow tempos. The reason for this is to create a 'feel' of sadness and longing.

In the key of E minor the notes in the blues scale are E, G, A, Bb, C, D, E. These notes are all a minor third apart and sound sad and longing.

You can of course follow the chords, but you can just jam over it with A minor Pentatonic on your guitar and you'll be fine :) 

Of course you can use this jam track with any instrument over the 12 bar blues, not just jam on the guitar!

It could be used as a practice backing track or as an inspiration to write a solo that meshes with the mood of the track by just jamming along.
