I have been an active player for over 40 years. I would have loved the ability to have a product like this when I first started.
I like the ability to hone my leads and riffs with the continuos loop. The quality of the sound and the accompanying musicians on the track are of a very high quality. This is an easy to use app, as it allows for key and tempo changes very quickly.
Highly recommended and I am planning on ordering more from the series.

Note from producer Mark Fitchett: Being a guitarist myself, I know what I like when it comes to jamming with a band so it is with utmost confidence that I can say that Pro Band Backing Tracks groove and inspire. I'll admit that I am biased, after all I did create them, but I absolutely love playing and practicing to them myself and use them all the time.
