Playalong tracks for beginners

 

My friend Mark Aldous has produced some great playalong mp3 tracks for practising your basic grooves and fills to. Each trackpack has a slow, medium and fast version of the same tune, so you can pick up the speed as you improve. They're great value and can be downloaded by clicking here.
