About How to Generate Backing Tracks:

Practice with a metronome is useful but can be rather boring for several reasons. One is obvious: tick – tick – tick – tick. But more importantly, all the ticks sound the same. Not so when it comes to understanding and playing well in world styles. For instance, ¾ time can vary from the accent on the downbeat, to an accent on the central beat, to the third and even after.

There are a number of ways you can create your own backing tracks, and in this lesson, Julie will show you how. A side benefit includes ear training as it pertains to chord progressions because not all tunes come with written-in chords. The good news? You don’t always have to spend money to be able to provide yourself with good tracks. Intrigued? Sign up!

This lesson was recorded as part of Strings Without Boundaries, a multi-style string conference operating for over 27 seasons. In partnership with artistic director Julie Lyonn Lieberman, recordings from past Strings Without Boundaries conferences are now available on myTalentForge.

Julie Lyonn Lieberman

Julie Lyonn Lieberman has helped develop the multi-style string field over the last forty+ years through her work as an educator, author, radio producer, composer, writer, recording artist, and performer. She started out as a fiddler, performing at folk festivals and clubs up and down the east coast in the late 1970s/early 1980s using either a mic or a Fishman pickup, depending on the gig. Her introduction to amplification and special effects began while touring with Brian Eno recording artist, Laraaji Venus, in the early 1980s. Read More About Julie→
