Hi,
Hope it's OK for me to post this here (and apologies in advance if not).
I've been really missing jamming over the past year, and backing tracks haven't quite filled the gap. Either they're too short (once or twice round the tune never feels long enough) or they're just backup (I need the tune to practice the chords too). But the real thing I miss is that back and forth thing where you take it in turns to play the tune or take a break and back each other up.
So I started making my own tracks to jam along to and, after chatting to a few other pickers, realised they might be useful for others. So I'm releasing them as a free podcast.
Each tune will have three tracks, me (on guitar) playing:
- four times through the tune (so you play backup)
- four times through the backup (so you play the tune)
- backup, followed by the tune - repeated four times (so you can jam along)
The first tune is Whiskey Before Breakfast in D at 75 bpm. There's more info at https://bluegrassjamalong.com/ or you can find he podcast on Apple Podcasts (and it's also on Spotify if that's where you get your podcasts).
Thanks,
Matt
