What is your favorite track to jam on? For me there are 2, Comfortably Numb and Little Wing.
 
Well known songs on my current warm up/noodling jam track list

Comfortably Numb
I know a Little - Skynyrd
Bark at the Moon
Pride & Joy
Little Wing
Manhattan- Eric Johnson
 
Tennessee whiskey.
Nice and slow to do tricks with

Strum it reggae style and it turns into kung foo fighting.
same 2 changes
 
Note for note: Danzig - Twist Of Cane

Noodles: what ever I pull up as a backing track on YouTube
 
For ACTUAL jamming, i.e., rambling improv:

Who Knows by Hendrix, I can go miles from shore with that one, and it's always a chance to have some fun with my octave, delay, and phaser pedals. :rock:

Likewise In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida with effects, especially doubling the organ using an octane pedal for heavy guitar lines. I like the crudeness of the Boss OC-3 with crunk drive for this, it does its own thing without my help when I stop playing, like a living thing. 😀 I try to imagine what was going through the mind of Mr. Dolarhyde whilst playing......but not for too long......🤪

Interstellar Overdrive - The Floyd

Barracuda - Heart (and of course Mr. Fisher)

S.A.T.O. and Believer - Guess who.....👹

The Green Manalishi - Old Skool Peter Green style hybrid with some Priestly moments

Dissident Aggressor - Old Skool Priestly style with some Slayer moments
 
There’s a shitload of backing tracks on Youtube, specific keys and genres. I usually just pick a key and click on a random one hoping it’ll pull me out of my comfort zone a bit. Elevated Jam Tracks is a good channel for it.
 
Anything by Dokken. Its pure waste of time but it is what it is.
 
I just put on a basic 4/4 drum beat, set the tempo, and play whatever rhythms over that.
 
On youtube, Elevated Jam Tracks is the man. He has tracks in every key in a wide range of styles and keeps making new ones. I've been practicing really hard to up my improv game and he's been an invaluable resource.
