Guitar Backing Track Metal in Em

Guitar backing track metal in E minor. This heavy metal jam track in Em is perfect for practicing soloing in the key of Em. Work on those new guitar scales, new lick ideas or create riffs of your own. This guitar backing track in a metal style as well as my other guitar backing tracks are perfect to use with my video lessons and tutorials on my channel.

Practicing guitar with backing tracks is one of the best ways to get used to playing with other players in a band setting. You get used to playing with a groove, improvising and soloing, it can be great ear training, you learn to listen to what's going on around you and you get used to playing...not just practicing!

Hope you enjoy my guitar backing tracks look for more coming regularly.

Scale suggestions for this metal guitar backing track:

The guitar backing track (metal style) is in the key of E minor so try using scales like E minor pentatonic, E blues scale or E natural minor scale (also called E Aeolian mode). Try some open string scale shapes too, these can sound great in this style!

This guitar backing track can be used to practice with these flessons on my channe (although you may need to change the keys around a little!):
