New mp3's and pdf's

This week I have posted a couple of things 1) an exercise for playing over the chords for Rhythmn Changes using swing quavers, there are two tracks for this, one @70 and one @140 bpm.. Next is the re-work of a standard. There are a couple of versions for this one for tenor and one for alto. Depending where you look for the melody to this I think this melody is a little easier to read, have fun. Any questions about what I have posted just pm me.

I don't know if anyone has noticed but all the backing tracks that I have been posting over the past few months, are now embedded in the website, still in the " Paidsubcribers Section"
But instead of a link to a website, they are now Mp3's. Thanks to that kind man Mr Thomas.:welldone:welldone

Chris

I will soon be starting a new article with more tracks..

Thanks Chris. A big thanks to Pete to. You are doing us all a great service, but might I suggest you have another look at that stranger on the shore. He doesn't seem right to me.

 

[Chris]

He doesn't seem right to me.

I think he got lost somewhere in the move. Can't read a map. I've sent Pete a pm with a new link so hopefuly when he gets time he will sort it out.

Hi, sorry if I’m not getting this but where do I find these tracks please?

At the top of the Cafes home page look for "Support the Cafe". Click that and follow the link to "Extra resources/downloads". Then look for "Chris's Famous Backing Tracks". Click that and you will be able to download and save a .zip file with all the tracks (it's called BTS.zip, if I recall correctly).

 

[Jeanette]

On my phone it's at the top of this page.
