Back up rhythm tracks

[Fretfet2]

Just started trying to focus on playing more with rhythm tracks. What are some of the best tracks to use free or paid . I am using some of the Peghead nation tracks as I learn material but some tunes I have learned might not be on there. Also varying speeds some of the Flatpicker Apprentice were just a tad too fast. Also can you put these tracks to use with Amazing Slow Downer program types?
Thanks!

Check out The Strum Machine. Can change the tempo as fast or slow as you like. Really easy to make your own chord progressions too. It does cost about $5/month, but they have a free 30-day trial, so nothing to lose. I'm hooked!

I also love Strum Machine. I use it every day.

You can change key or speed instantly. Unlike the slow-down programs I've used, the track always sounds like an normal acoustic guitar, even at very slow speeds. You can create your own chord progressions, to fit any song/tune, and experiment with what various progressions sound like. I've created my own progressions to practice chords, as well as to improvise solos over the chords. Now there's an automatic speed-up option, which lets you have the tempo speed up a bit every time through.

Using the key-change feature, I also use it to find the best singing key for me for a particular song. Now it also has a Nashville Number System option, which I find very helpful in connecting theory and playing together.

You can probably find a dozen or so good options to choose from. Recently (about a month ago) I read about the strum machine site and tried it, and have used it every day. I was able to easily add chord progressions for every tune I wanted to practice that wasn't already listed there.

The other thing I do is use a program called Transcribe! to learn or practice with virtually any video or audio track. It is a "slow down" program with cool features that costs less than "amazing slowdowner" and for me has preferable features.

That seems to be a tough thing to google (which turns up few recent results), but do you want to record your own on guitar?

Check out www.fbbts.com if you haven't already. Lots of bluegrass and old time tracks, and you can slow some of them down.

Peghead Nation has some great backing tracks, played by Scott Nygaard, costs 20 bucks a month and you get a lesson with it, but the backing tracks are great,
