Stormy Monday – Guitar Backing Track
Slow things down and dig into one of the great blues standards.
“Stormy Monday” by The Allman Brothers Band is an excellent track for developing expressive blues phrasing, learning to follow chord changes, and making every note count.
This guitar backing track gives you a full-band foundation to play over while leaving room for your guitar to take center stage.
Ideas to Try
Use the track to:
- Practice slow, expressive blues lead guitar
- Work on bends, vibrato, and sustained notes
- Experiment with major and minor pentatonic sounds
- Follow the chord changes instead of staying in one scale position
- Practice call-and-response phrasing
- Leave space between your licks
- Build a solo gradually instead of starting at full intensity
“Stormy Monday” is a great reminder that blues guitar isn’t about how many notes you can play. Listen to the band, give your phrases room to breathe, and concentrate on touch, timing, and emotion.
Grab your guitar, turn it up, and jam along with “Stormy Monday.”
