They are extremely high fidelity and are perfect for making recordings with. All titles were carefully chosen and will help immensely to communicate with drummers, guitar players and bass players, to get the groove you want. It helps a great deal to really understand what the difference is between a Jazz Swing and a Texas Shuffle, or a Tramp Groove and a Second Line Beat? These are slang terms used by blues players. This is your chance to learn what slang terms like that, and lots of other lingo means, and best of all, what they sound like. Here lies a lifetime of information from working musicians and the slang and lingo used to communicate “feel”, “groove”, “beats”, “bass lines” and more, without written music. Simply play any track and read the groove description provided several times while you listen. Identify each statement made in the description to the sound made in the music. Then memorize the slang used to communicate that musical idea, which is simply (the title of that groove). This is a product that comes from the desire to have jam tracks that really groove, with heavy hitting Blues-Cats playin’ them. GrooveTrax™ are like getting a PHD “from the boulevard of the blues”. They will help make anyone “street smart” with the blues.
