Backing tracks

Post by Michael Febbie »

HI, kinda new here but I want to ask a few questions I play a telecaster. I have never played a steel guitar but I have one on order it's a stage one. i've been all over the internet listening to steel music and lessons. I want to get some kind of back up music that has the steel taken out. I've looked at band in a box, but that's to complicated for me. Do you have any suggestions.

Our dear friend and steel guitar great Herb Steiner offers a large variety of
excellent backing tracks. I've had many hours of practice with a cup of coffee
and Herb's tracks.😊

Mike Headrick - real musicians, real music, real service!!! He even has U-B the sideman series. Full songs with singers and the steel removed for your own fills. Greg's are good too!!

Band in the box is not that complicated. I use it all the time. What I like most about it is that you can change the keys and tempo to your liking. You can also use it with the chords shown, or the numbers. I really like it.
