About This Tool
Watch the video below for a quick tour! It explains what this tool is, what I intend for it to grow into, and a few of the ways you can use it starting right now.

Sep 3, 2024
- Launched MVP version of this tool! It includes all video backing tracks I've made so far, in one place. Each track links to the lesson it originated from.
- Plenty to-do next. Make the videos members-only, change the data schema setup so each track can have its own stand-alone page (e.g. for sharing via URL), add audio version of each track, etc.
- I also want to work out the landing page experience, for both logged-in and logged-out users. It should be very easy to browse things without seeing dozens of rendered videos on the page. I want to think about the slight UX differences of jumping into single chord backing tracks vs. song-based backing tracks vs. drum-only tracks. A lot of this isn't necessary to solve out of the gate, but noting it here.
