Personal Backing Band

There are many backing track systems on the market and even some great websites that do it for you too. 

I’ve been using band in a box from PG music for close to 2 years now and it’s changed the way I play. It’s changed the way I teach, and it’s changed the flow of my lessons. You simply put in a chord progression and practice your scales over it. The mute tracks function on it allows you to practice your chords as well.This works great for guitar as well as piano. 

I also use it for songwriting sketches if I’m working on a song idea I can type the chord progression in, and play or sing a melody over it. Right out of the box it comes with the quite a few styles ranging from Reggae to Hard Rock. 

With regard to lessons, you can streamline your lesson flow and create a process of practice so you and your student can move through warm-ups in a live band feel scenario. It’s a great prep for reading too because you can slow the tempo down dramatically so you can keep up while reading some music. Also if you’re a performer and you wanted backing tracks for your karaoke, guitar work, or piano it works great. I love it and I hope this helps.
