Backing tracks?

[karl]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get backing tracks to practice with?

Thanks in advance.

I use the cds from Dan Compton Irish Session class. He has 27 now working on 28. They usually consist of 8 to 10 sets, 1 to 3 tunes for each set. The first time through played at or near session speed on the fiddle accompanied by the guitar and sometimes Box. Then each tune is played slower, fiddle only so you can learn the tune. His web site is http://www.glencottagemusic.com/ He’ll email you what’s on the CDs. I have taken 20 of his classes and enjoy them, and plan on continuing. The quality of his CDs is good and Dan is a good musician. Many of the tutorials only play through once, while Dan will play through the first time through twice to three time, and then twice on the slower version.

Maybe some of these mp3’s would be similarly useful to you.
