Premium Play-along Tracks
Over time I'm releasing my collection of songs that I recorded as backing tracks. These are premium tracks great for learning tunes, how arrangements are created and a source of material to improv and solo over.
These are the same tracks that I've used in the past for live gigs. I have close to 60 of these tracks that I created many moons ago at a significant cost. ALL recorded in a quality studio. I now use them for practice and when teaching.
Each song includes a PDF file of the lead sheet, a studio quality track and reference notes, tips, tricks, video links and other goodies to help with the song. Each posting is a lot of work so these will trickle out over time. Let me know if there is a song from the below list that you would like me to post.
ALL Premium Play-along tracks are FREE for now. So grab them while you can. Each song includes a lead sheet, mp3 file and related song information!
I've had more than few comments on how good these tracks are. Players are using them on gigs, as I did.

Content is always being added and updated. So check-in often. Thanks, Curt
P.S. You may think from the look of it that Curt Sheller Publications is a slick, profitable business, but it's actually not (maybe a car payment a month, cheap car). I spend a lot and time money creating the content, lessons and books for this site (a labor of love), so if you dig my content and want to see more of it. I could use your help by spreading the word and maybe buying a book or two if you haven't already, to help defray the cost of running the site. Thanks in advance for your help. This is a labor of love and I'd do it even if I didn't make a lot of money, hey I don't!
