Plectrum and Tenor Banjo Backing Tracks

For anyone wishing to play along with a truly excellent professional, Sean Moyses’ Banjo Backing Tracks is a great way to go.  

Sean, one of Europe’s leading 4-string banjoists, has compiled 13 tunes for this CD.  Complimentary PDF files of the arrangements, chords, music are available upon request.  

First, Sean plays the tune lead with a group of seasoned musicians backing him up.   He goes through each tune on a track multiple times, usually improvising along the way.

Then the same tune is completely replayed in the following track without Sean.   This allows you to play Sean’s part using your own interpretation of the tune.   It’s a superb way to learn.   Play and practice at your own pace.   The end result of your practice and patience will be the ability to play these tunes up to tempo in any band setting.  

Another fine feature of this CD is the inclusion of many verses, most of which are rarely, if ever, heard.   That makes Banjo Backing Tracks a fine musical resource.

Where appropriate, Sean sings the words to the tunes.  This is also helpful to those learning.  Sean has a very nice singing voice.

The mix of tunes is interesting and broad-based.  Standards like "Mr. Sandman" and "Four Leaf Clover" are included, but so is the complicated "Temptation Rag."  Also included are a couple of "large band" tunes like "High Society" and "You're Driving Me Crazy."  If that isn't enough, Sean plays a couple of George Formby tunes:  "Chinese Laundry Blues" and "Leanin' On A Lamp Post."  Great stuff!

You can count on endless hours of enjoyment, both listening to and playing with Sean Moyses and his Banjo Backing Tracks.
