Play guitar with backing tracks
Start with a multitrack score to take the guitarist’s place. Mute the track you’ll play and keep the other instruments for rhythmic and harmonic cues.
The controls below use the labels shown in the current French-language app.
Choose the right track
In Guitar Lab, open Jouer en groupe, then select Détails on the song. Choose Partition complète and pick your guitar track. A score may contain several guitars. Rhythm guitar often follows the chords, while lead guitar may play the riff or melody.
Listen to a few bars of the demo to identify your part. Then enable Me faire accompagner par les autres pistes and start playing. Your guitar track is muted while the other tracks play.
Slow down and repeat a passage
- Under Choisir des mesures, select the first and last bars you want to practise.
- On the practice screen, adjust Vitesse below the title. Start at a tempo where you can keep up with the chord changes or drum beat.
- Turn on Boucle to repeat the passage. When you can play several loops without losing the beat, increase the tempo slightly.
Try it with four bars
Choose four bars and start at 60% of the original speed. On the first pass, listen to the drums and count the beats. On the second, play the guitar part. If you keep getting lost in the same spot, shorten the loop to two bars, then return to four.
