The CD features 20 full-length jams in the style of Satriani, Beck, Zeppelin, The Beatles, U2, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and more! Each song is analyzed by key, mode and pitch axis. Patterns for the major and minor scales, major and minor pentatonics, the blues scale, modes and altered scales are also provided.

 Band in a Box November 18, 2006
This book and more importantly the CD is a great practice aid. It comes with a number of tracks in many styles, keys and progression. The tracks start out with simple one chord jams and work up to very complicated chord progressions. The accompanying book contains the transcribed chord chart with suggestions for scales, key center etc. This information is key to using the CD.
The backing band is very professional and the chord progression can be very demanding. All in all an excellent tool to further developing your shops - intermediate to advanced players will get the most out of this set.
 Useful, but: lacks variety in tempo/style, can't Xout guitar July 13, 2001
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
CONS: The jam trax are useful but they could have been improved by placing rhythm guitars on the CD panned hard right or left so they could be removed. I was hoping for just drums and bass to jam with. Also, there was some variation in track key and style but overall the tempos and feel of the set of tracks was more similar than i would have preferred. To me it felt like the same improvisation style fit on too many different tracks. The chord progressions are generic (as required i guess). Most annoying to me was the tempos didn't vary enough for my taste. One solution is to get the Marantz PSD230 that can change the tempo of a CD without changing pitch and the pitch without changing tempo. REQUEST: Maybe Danny Gill can put out style specific Jam Trax in the future !!? :-) I'd be willing to try them and i bet a lot of others would too. PROS: It is still good for solitary practicing, convenient, and the recording had good sound quality. It's a good occasional alternative to a metronome. In defense of the author i think it would be difficult to put together a "be all, end all, emcompasses all jam track CD that pleases everyone". It could be that it just didn't suit my taste. If you want an beginner to intermediate level, upper mid tempo with lots of blues and minor pentatonic scale based stuff this might be just the thing for you. Plus it always shows up to practice!!
