General
A jam track is a backing track intended for use to further your musicianship through practicing improvisation, scales, comping, time feel and more.
Ben’s Jam Tracks is run by Benjamin Harrison (https://benharrison.com.au), an Australian producer and multi-instrumentalist.
The normal version is the full track, the ‘For Bass’ version has the bass part removed, the ‘For Drums’ has the drum track removed (although there may still be percussion elements) and ‘For Piano’ has the main piano/keyboard part removed (although there may still be some synth/pad elements).
