What are Bluegrass Backing Tracks and How do they Work?

The tracks are rendered from a small file using a chord progression similar to the track title. There are no melodies in the tracks only chords. The instruments are playing bits and pieces of generic licks and phrases that work around the changes.

You will need to supply the melody while the backing track supplies the backup.

It will make the tracks a lot more useful if you know the melody to the tune or at least be able to hum the tune and have it in your head. Many songs contain the same chord progression, but with proper timing and the correct melody supplied by you the tune will sound the way it should.

Will the files work on a Mac?

I have very little experience with the Mac operating system. I'm trying to learn more and just as soon as I'm sure of how things work I will post an answer here.

I did get an email from a customer who uses a Mac and he was able to use the files. Here is what he had to say.

"After you load Jam Tracks into ITunes, use the ITunes search to locate the first track by name then click in the "album" field (you may have to click twice) and enter a name (Parking Lot Jam Tracks), copy the name and go down the list "Pasting in the album name"

Hope this helps.

Is it possible to speed up or slow down the tracks?

Only to the extent that Media Player or your MP3 player will allow.   Although the tracks are built around a small file, the finished product contains only audio.
