A backtrack mainly based on a C major chord, even if there is also a G major and a F major to break the monotony. With a tempo at 100 bpm you can either work strumming patterns on your the acoustic (Folk rhythms). 
Guitar solo: C major or C major pentatonic. Try the Blues Scale in the transition of (F and G chords). Enjoy!

Rock backtrack Rock in C

Another cool track by tabs4acoustic.com. Backtrack is mainly in A minor key, with a small switch in C minor in the middle. 
Use C minor pentatonic and A minor pentatonic scales, but you can also try A or C dorian modes, to play with style. ;)

Blues Rock Backing Track

The whole riff is based on A5, G5 and D chords, with a pinch of E5. In short, you can play the A minor pentatonic, or add B and F# notes to sound Dorian.

Backing track in the style of AC/DC

This riff has become legendary very quickly. Repetitive, hypnotizing, immediately recognizable, it’s a mandatory step for any beginner. Note that this is just an adaptation, the original riff is played open-A tuned, with an octaver and a slide… It’s impossible to accurately reproduce the original riff with a standard tuning, this version will enable you to play the melody and nobody will notice anything !
