Don't get me wrong, I am a Shadows fan through and through however, I also enjoy The Ventures and would like to get hold of some backing tracks ... the one I'm particularly wanting is 'Gandy Dancer' .... but at this stage any others will do.. Can someone please enlighten me...

Best regards

Tony

There are a number of sources of ventures backing tracks which I am aware of:

1 Dave "Robbo" Robinson:
a. Perfidia on "Lead 7" backtracks CD
b. The House of the Rising Sum on "Lead 9" baccktrax CD

- see dave's website www.pastmastersmusic.co.uk

you can also buy the tracks individually from the website

2 The Ventures - Guitar Play - Along - 8 Songs with Tab and Sound alike CD Tracks

A Hall - Leonard publication - obtainable from: www.amazon.co.uk

Thank you Tony,

I will take a look at your recommedations. I enjoy playing various styles such as The Atlantics, Ventures and Martin Cilia's works and off course The Shadows..

I have copies of a really obscure Japanese series of Play Like Nokie backing tracks - sadly the one you want isn't there! They appear to be processed live tracks with the lead removed electronically - though still faintly audible.

Anyone else know about these?

(There's actually a track which made me think of Ecca called "My Bony" (sic))
