I'm a bit surprised nobody's recommended making your own. It's a great way to get some extra rhythm practice in. Not to mention a chance to super familiarize yourself with new ways of voicing chords.

I'm looking for a backup track of the Ventures version of Sleigh Ride. Willing to pay. Any ideas? I've searched the web of course, thanks!

I'm interested in attempting to make my own backings tracks to accompany acoustic guitar and vocals for a church service. Is there an easy way to do this for a computer challenged person.

I made my own backing tracks at one time.

I still sounded like crap!

Me no understand. How does ripping the audio from a YouTube video of an artist performing a song get you a backing track?

I'm working on it. Unfortunately, I can't get my Jamman and my mixer to work together. I'm using a mic to record my guitar but either don't get a signal, or I do get a signal but can't hear anything, or I get horrendous feedback. I just don't know enough to make the right connections, it seems.
