I have been all over the web looking for a Jack the Ripper backing track to no avail. I have seen guys on youtube with Wray backing tracks. None of those folks will reply to me. Does anyone out there have a Jack the Ripper backing track?

Guitar Pro 6 has really improved the sound engines (RSE). So, you can input the chords for the song and add a drum track (and a host of other options). Then, you export as a .wav file. If you have Audacity, you can convert that to .mp3 if you like. What you end up with is a pretty decent backing track for practice.

I kind of blown away there are no existing Wray backing tracks. I'll put that on the list of things to create.

I could probably make one for you from some studio recordings if you want. I'll poke around some files and get back to you.

That would be great. I think Link Wray backing tracks would be great to have but I also think they should be out on the intrewebs for all the guitarists out there that are looking at different styles. Link is a link to surf, 50's rock and more. I think BT tracks are an important thing to have out there.

It's a pretty easy song to play, why not just play along to the recording?

That's no fun and there are different places I travel were 8 surf backing tracks could come in handy. I'd like to have all of links hits as backing tracks - Rawhide, Rumble, Jack the Ripper, Ace of Spades.

I've never found many Link Wray backing tracks, or one for "Jack the Ripper", but if you're looking for 8-10 good "surf guitar" backing tracks, the following sites have good selections. Start with UB Hank Vol. 4 which has very good backing tracks for Pipeling, Walk Don't Run, Wipe Out, Diamonds, The Cruel Sea, Wheels, and Rebel Rouser. Not quite the same as the "orginal", but I think some are as good or better. Shadows Workout No. 11+ has good versions of Wahine, and Diamond Head. Tabs are also available.

And the Goran Tangrine website has free stuff.
