Acoustic guitar music is music that primarily uses guitars that produce sound through an acoustic instrument instead of electric guitar or by electric means. This collection of free acoustic backing tracks will expose you to several different styles of acoustic guitar music. We are not referring to solo acoustic fingerpicking styles. We are talking about styles you would play with other acoustic guitar musicians.
This type of music has its origins in the folk music of the 1960s. As the television show called MTV unplugged became more popular during the 1990’s other types of acoustic styles began to emerge. In most cases, these acoustic guitars were still electrically amplified performances by musicians. Some grunge bands who usually relied on electronic instruments became known for providing “unplugged” performances. In some cases. this trend has also been dubbed “Acoustic Rock” When music during this era was labeled acoustic or unplugged the assumption is that other types of music are cluttered by technology and dramatically overproduced. This type of acoustic music was seen as a way to break that trend.
