Just thought I would share this as most of us are hunkered down at home and plunking away on our mandolins on our own. Nobody to jam with. So backup tracks are a good substitute. But what do you do if you can't find a backup track for the tune you want to play?
Here is a possible solution. It is not for everybody, but for those of us who are TablEdit users, there are a wealth of tef files on this forum, on Mandozine, Mando Hangout and other sources. Most of these have a guitar track in addition to the mandolin track. By suppressing the audio on the mandolin track, we are left with a perfect guitar backup track, for which you can set the speed to whatever you want. Now, I believe you have to be a Registered User to be able to make these changes to the tef file. So it is not for everybody. But it works great if you are able to do it. This "trick" may already be known to forum members, but I am bringing it up for those, like myself, who have not found a backup track from other sources.
