Backup Band to Play Along with Online Banjo Student Lessons

I firmly believe these backup tracks will help your progress a lot, and you'll have a lot of fun with them too, no matter what level you are at.

I recorded the backup tracks in the recording studio at three different speeds, and not too fast either!

The tempos of the songs range from very easy, (90 Beats per minute/BPM) to a slow medium tempo, (130 /BPM) to a moderate fast speed, 105 BPM double or cut time, (Four eighth notes per click).

Includes recordings of the songs, backup play along tracks, music tablature, along with instruction tips on each song! Also includes instruction on learning how to play by the chords to the song, has easy to read tablature with accent marks for melody notes, and the backup band tracks are at three speeds to play along with!

Thanks, Ross Nickerson

Here are the songs available with the backup band to play along with at three different speeds.
