I've just started a new YouTube channel which focuses on Practice Loops / Jam Tracks / Backing Tracks only. I would be grateful for any ideas. First upload is "School Days" by Stanley Clarke which loops a solo section. Original tempo is 140 BPM, but I've also uploaded slower tempos from 60...

Here are some backing tracks I created with only drums and fender rhodes which can be used to practice bass guitar (or synths, guitar, whatever you wish). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNtBwe-YZVg_VACloz6pzYXFVFc5SuDCY The vibe is mostly easygoing funk/swing/jazz/lounge/pop/hiphop...

I am a beginner with some knowledge. I have been trying to find a GOOD site with backing tracks with actual instrument's playing to play-a-long with including tab. I don't know how to read music yet, but am trying to learn. I take lessons online through SBL. I just want to start putting what I...

Hello everyone! I do backing track which I will upload regularly on YouTube. I will throw links to them in this topic. Stay tuned!

Hey, Since we are in lock down worldwide cause of the virus. I got alot of time to play bass. I own this preamp and are wondering how I can jam with a backing track with it? I know I have to use a split aux probably. But how exactly does it work? I put it in the aux headphone, and then I put...

I'm working through an online course on technique and we are currently practicing arpeggios. A while ago, I downloaded the Suggester app (no affiliation) and today I realized that I could use it to quickly create a sequence of chords to complement the arpeggios and hear how they work together...

Hi all, this is my first post here on TB, I’ve recently started a new band project with a friend of mine who produces electronic music and we’re interested in playing live. I’ve played live before in a completely organic rock setting with no synths, however this current project relies heavily...

Hi All, I've been trying to make bass cover videos (Instagram/YouTube) lately and I'm still trying to figure out how to remove the bass from the original tunes (mostly mp3 files) in the most efficient way. I have FL Studio 12 and audacity on my computer. By knowing how to do this properly I...

Hey folks, I'm trying to figure out what equipment I need to trigger samples in a live setting using a midi foot controller while I'm playing bass, much like what Geddy and Rush do. I have midi foot controllers (Roland PK-5 and Digital Music 'Ground Control') but I'm not sure what's best for...

Hi all, Forgive me if this in bad taste... I've just consolidated some of my drum loops into a playlist on Youtube for bass players and other musicians to use as a practising and creative tool. Please feel free to share the link around with anyone who might find the loops useful/enjoyable and...

A few years ago I stumbled onto a website that had totally kick ass backing tracks, sounded 98% original. They were not free, but they were really good. The catalog was a bit limited at the time but they had bands like Dream Theater and other prog rock bands, maybe some Genesis, can't really...

So i'm starting a hip hop side project and need to run my backing tracks live. I've had issues using computers and just my tablet and am hoping that the mixer will help out. Im thinking of using an android tablet into a mixer. Then from the mixer into a passive DI to the FOH. This way I can...

I use backing tracks from YouTube as part of my practice regime. I would be grateful if I could get some coaching on the easiest way to record over the tracks with my laptop. Do we have a thread anywhere that addresses this? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

While mainly a live player, i would love to be able to simply play along with backing tracks both through my studio monitors and through headphones (late night shedding). Also wouldn't mind being able to use my iphone while traveling. Any suggestions on what to purchase? A simple 1/4 to 1/8"...

Hey! I'm currently working on improvising. I know the basics; roots, fifths, sixths, and flat sevenths, plus a little bit more. I'm just trying to get my rhythm and technique down as well as working on connecting chords and seeing what sounds good together. Could you guys/gals link some possible...

So I go to a major sporting event every year and they out on a lot of top line acts before, during and after the action over the three days. It's an awesome event and I've seen bands I'd probably never cross the road for at home and been blown away by their performances. And I've seen old...

After reading the numerous threads on people hating (or not) backing tracks for cover bands, I figured this would be an interesting thread. I've played with a band that does some blues/rock/country covers - guitar/bass/drums and a vocalist who plays flute and sax. We have used the flute to...

Anyone got a good online resource? Looking for something with standards, that includes the chord progression, and maybe something on which I can alter the tempo. I learn best when I can start slow and then get up to speed. All the chord changes and fast tempos are hard for me to keep up with...

I should preface this by stating that I love my band and my bandmates. We get along great and have so much fun playing out. We are a trio that covers a huge swath of material, and our fans love us. But there's that awkward 10-45 seconds between songs when the next track is being queued up. The...

any good websites for good play along tracks, drum loops etc? looking to step up my practice game

Just trying to get an idea of what others do ... Do you play the backing tracks or songs through the same amp/cab as your bass? Or do you have a separate unit/speakers? I currently run the backing tracks through a separate combo amp (an old practice amp) and leave the bass alone with his...

I'm in a band that's still in the start up stage but due to the very thick arrangements with synths and electronics, it seems pretty clear that we will need to perform with backing tracks. Right now in practice, the drummer uses a very long headphone extension to reach the PC the...

First, I realize that this has probably been discussed, but I tried searching and didn't find anything. Probably my searching skills here. So any links to other threads here would be appreciated. Second, this is only so I can play along with them in my own house. The problem I have is that...

Was alerted to this site on YouTube: Backing Tracks For Bass Apologies if you already know about this. Just thought I'd share. Thanks, Emily

Hello All, I swear I used the search function before posting about this; if this is in the wrong section please move (and forgive me). This previous weekend the fiancee and I went out to a bar to celebrate a friend's birthday. The bar had a live 4-piece cover band playing, so of course most...

I'm leading a classic rock cover band. We auditioned a couple drummers. Settled on a slick Los Angeles transplant and started getting to work. As he started to feel comfortable, he suggested we use some backing tracks in our sets. (Horns/keys/backing vocals). With some adjustments, I must admit...

Hello, i'm new to this forum so excuse me if a thread regarding this question allready exists. Can anybody please tell me if the isolated bass lines on youtube are the original studio recorded bass lines. Here are some examples: - - - - etc. I've read that the tracks are isolated from a...

Can anyone throw down with some cool ones? Here's one I found...

Can't remember what thread it was in, but the OP made mention that he found all his backing tracks on YouTube. So I looked up on YouTube for tracks to play bass to where the bass is non existent or has been removed. Turns out there's lots I wasn't aware of. So a big thanks to you...

Hey, any of you get on YouTube and jam along with some of the backing tracks on there? If you do, which ones do you jam to? Just putting this thread out there to get some new videos to check out. Me, I like the ones Elite Backing Tracks uploads. Good, real sounding tracks that are fun and...

so I've decided to add another band to my stable. I auditioned last night with a group doing largely 80s covers. It's a 4 piece: drums, guitar, vox and bass. The vox are strong, the drummer is fantastic and the guitar is above average. Their are targeting small corporate and event gigs. Where...

First, let me apologize in advance as this is probably a dumb question, and also for the fact that you might find this post on more than one forum since none seemed to fit exactly. I often see youtube vids etc with someone playing full backing tracks off an iPad or similar device, and playing...
