💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
In many of my past improvisation lessons I've used a backing track app called iReal Pro.
Several people have asked me to make a video on how to make your own backing tracks from scratch using this app, so here is my iReal Pro tutorial!
If you're an iReal Pro user and don't know how to fully customize your own backing tracks, or if you're looking for a way to quickly play over any chord progression, then this video should be helpful. 
I hope you enjoyed learning how to make your own backing tracks in this iReal Pro tutorial. Let me know what you thought in the comments.
Thanks! :)
