Bluegrass Backing Tracks

I just came across another pretty cool spot for backing tracks. In addition to having normal backing tracks for tunes, it also has tracks for different chord progressions and even single chords to practice over. It also has a built in slowdowner. Pretty cool!

Wouldn’t work for me with Internet Explorer, I had to use Chrome.

That’s a nice resource. There’s a pretty wide selection. Some of the keys were surprising (i.e. I’ll fly away in D). Maybe it’s a regional thing.

That is a very good site wow so many and they actually have the feel of the melody at least on the ones I tried . TNT you out did your self on the site very nice and thanks for that, it is now inb my favorites .

That is a great site, Shawn -lots of nice features and free, too! If it had a way to transpose keys it would be perfect.

I downloaded about 200 Band-In-A-Box backing tracks from the BHO a while back. I use slow downer software to adjust the speed and to transpose keys. It’s about a 250 MB file, but if anyone wants it, I could probably upload it to our Netgrass Dropbox.

Glad you guys are finding them useful! I don’t think you can have too many backing tracks. I really dig that flatpick apprentice site.

It’s a good thing you got those tracks at BHO Larry. Last time I checked, they pulled 'em all down. Once I get a new computer I may try to get those from you.
