**Eb Tuning / Half Step Down** Guitar Backing Track: Eb minor 80s Heavy Metal / Hard Rock up-tempo jam track for guitar
Half step is a very popular tuning, and it's frustrating -- especially when you have a locked down bridge -- to have to find another guitar just to improvise to backing tracks. Until now, that is :)
This track in E minor (Standard tuning) youtu.be/PU_MlEyUAeY
This track in D minor (Standard tuning) youtu.be/fL-sCUMI754
This is a classic rotation for any one who loves their glam / hair metal. Break out the classic Mick Mars, CC Deville et al. licks for this. The Dmaj and Cmaj chords have a sus4 augmentation which gives it the typical 'feel good' rock with the energy like a hair spray fueled rocket!
The chord rotation is
E5, Dmaj, Cmaj, Dmaj
Guitar was a USA Charvel So-Cal through a Marshall JVM410 head, bass a Fender Jazzbass through an Ampeg SVT head.
Have fun!
