Red Haired Boy rhythm tracks

Thanks to the suggestion of a reader named Betsy, I have started at a lower tempo for these rhythm tracks. Basically, I did what I usually do, and then added tracks at 150bpm, 160bpm, and 170bpm. Hopefully, these lower tempos will help out.


Here's some Youtubes of the song:

  11. Is it just me, or are the 180 bpm and 190 bpm versions reversed?

  14. I like the way you play the rhythms very clearly and with different tempos. For me it is a good training and a good background for my solos to play bluegrass.

    Thank you very much

  15. This can be the must useful site ever for aspiring banjoists - like myself - . I'm learning to play red haired boy, and your backing tracks are going to help me get speed and accuracy.

    THANK YOU

  20. Good day sir! Some of the tracks will not play anymore, Red Haired Boy being one of them. What are the chances you could get these working again?! Thanks for the hard work you've put in!
