Hi guys, hope you're all doing great. We've made some new important updates to the Play Jazz Tracks Mobile App. New features include transposable chord charts for Bb and Eb instruments, high quality time stretching, speed and pitch. Pitch slider now automatically transposes your chord chard to match, custom playlists and a day/night mode for those that prefer black background and white chords and a global search across the entire catalogue of backing tracks.
There's also some new bundles in there with just bass and drums for those that want to work on their trio playing and more bundles coming soon.
YOUTUBE MEMBERS:
If you are a member on this channel please check out the app for the best deal, for the same price you'll get access to stream the entire catalogue, chord charts for every track, high quality speed and pitch algorithms, create your own playlists plus access to all new bundles that are released in the future.
Download the app for free from Google Play or Apple App Store, each bundle has a free track to try the app fully before committing to a subscription, cancel anytime.

Huge thanks to every one who has been supporting the project, I'm working really hard to improve it day by day!

Hi guys, a new (much needed) update to the Play Jazz Tracks Mobile app has been released. The app now has Time Stretch Mode with speed and pitch sliders using the same high quality algorithm as our desktop app, Tool Shed. You can now create your own custom playlists and a fresh look with a new easy to navigate menu system.

NOTE: Huge apologies to anyone who just got the iOS update and found the the time stretch mode not working, we fixed the bug and an update will be out shortly as soon as it passes through the app review process on the Apple App Store.

Hey guys are any of you seeing ads mid video on any of the backing tracks? I noticed they had popped up on a couple of videos and of course I wouldn't stick an ad right in the middle there. Let me know if you see mid roll ads and I'll sift through all the videos and weed them out! Thanks.

Hey Guys hope you're all doing well. I'm super happy to release ToolShed. It's a super useful desktop app. Now you can speed up or slow down audio files like my backing tracks, change pitch in semitones, loop sections of the track which makes transcribing solos a lot easier and fine tune old Jazz recordings that are sometimes out of pitch due to old analogue recording equipment. You'll find yourself using it all the time. It's out now for Windows, Mac and Linux on the website:

Check it out!

Hi guys,
I've decided to shut down the members section here on youtube because it's causing a lot of conflict with the Play Jazz Tracks phone app.
I set up the members section here quite a while before I ever thought about making the app and the problem is this: Youtube take 50% of your membership fee so that's not a good deal for anyone, the app subscription costs about the same, plus I don't have all my catalogue in the Youtube members section because it would be just too much work to make videos for all the tracks, I have over 500.
The app has everything on there plus chord charts too, it doesn't have a bunch of features yet and some people have been quite mean to me about that but I'm trying with very little to no budget to make it work, please don't leave mean reviews on the app, there are more options out there if you don't like it.
I hope everyone continues to support the project and if you are already a member here drop me a line at info@playjazztracks.com with your youtube user name and I'll send you a promo code to try the app out for one month.
Thanks to everyone for your understanding.
