The Hal Leonard Guitar Play-Along series will assist players in learning to play their favorite songs quickly and easily. These arrangements are designed specifically so one guitarist can play the song from start to finish and include all the coolest licks, riffs, and solos. Just follow the tab, listen to the audio to hear how the guitar should sound, and then play along using the separate backing tracks. The audio tracks include computer features that allow you to slow down the tempo - without changing pitch! - as well as looping and panning. The melody and lyrics are also included in the book in case you want to sing, or to simply help you follow along. Packs include 8 songs each unless otherwise noted.
For books with online audio, the audio is accessed online using the unique code inside each book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.

I've laid down some tracks, bass and drums, and I want to play along on my acoustic guitar. I set up my mic, check guitar levels, hit playback, hear the bass & drum tracks, but when I start playing along on my guitar it has no level (the track is record enabled). Any thoughts or suggestions? I've been having this problem for a long time...using Logic Pro 8.
I need to have the sound in a single output, but I don't know where to look. So, what's your solution to get the guitar amp output and the backing track/mp3 playing in a single audio output? Software/device recommendations would really be great.
What I would suggest is to use an Apogee Jam to plug the guitar into the laptop, where it can then use Amplitube to model the sound of a guitar. Then just play a backing track on the laptop, and listen with headphones. There are some disadvantages to this approach but it has been fairly convenient and produces a reasonably good result. You can also experiment for instance by panning the backing track 70% left and panning your guitar 70% right. It's nice to be able to both hear the backing track and also keep your focus on your own sound, and I do think it can be hard to get this balance in a simple, easy-to-use practice solution.
As an alternative, you could use a small mixer (or a program such as Garageband) to distribute the signal to your headphones. Or you could use a line in to plug your amp in to your computer, and use a simple DAW (Garage Band or similar is fine) to distribute the signal that way. Though usually when people use Garage Band it's with a non-amplified guitar signal.
UPDATE 2020-01-19: This is now a really mainstream thing, with tons of small amps on the market having a line-in socket alongside the instrument socket so you can plug in a phone and get it as a backing track. My Roland Cube mini has it, but plenty of other brands do it too. Some of them even do Bluetooth.
You could also use other pedals and plug this device into the output of the last pedal in the chain; and you could connect the headphone signal to the aux-in of any amplifier, to practice without headphones.
There are also similar devices designed to be used with computers, phones and tablets, in which effects are emulated by the computer. This is more expensive, but more flexible, and adds opportunities such as recording.
If "pocket" isn't a feature you want, you could look at using a PA amp with multiple inputs. I have an Alesis portable PA amp with mic, instrument and phono inputs each on a separate gain control. It also has a headphone socket for private practice. If you use something like this, you probably need an amp simulation pedal to make the guitar sound musical. Zoom's multi-FX pedals are a cost-effective option.
Unfortunately this will not give you good tone, because the guitar output is not suited for the line in input (mic input will be even worse), you'll experience lots of "tone sucking", that is, high frequency loss. But it's easily solvable by using a buffer. Almost any stomp box with no "true bypass" functionality can be used as a buffer in bypass mode. I also successfully used a flat eq pedal for this purpose.
But the most comfortable solution would probably be to buy a hardware amp simulation unit. I don't think they sound as good as the state of the art software solutions right now but I routinely use my Pod X3 Live for home practice (yep, a bit bulky but that's all I have). You can either connect this unit's headphone output to your line in or you can connect a pair of speakers (or headphones) to your unit and connect your computer output to its aux-in (if it has one). Actually the unit that I use also functions as a USB sound card, so I just connect my speakers to it.
Everyone so far has offered software solutions but as I read it you want to practice using your amp and effects pedals rather than substitute with an software based amp sim so I would suggest getting a cab emulator such as the Two Notes Torpedo CAB and run a line out from your amp bypassing the amps internal speaker, use the cab simulator to emulate your own amp (eg. 1x12" combo, 2x12" cab etc) and choose a mic setup that sounds the most natural to you. Then run the output from the Torpedo into your Audio Interface for your laptop and use a DAW or whatever to play the track while monitoring the input from the Torpedo so that you can alter levels. Just an idea.
I'm playing a regular Fender Strat. The strat plugs into the M-Track and the M-track has a USB plug that goes into the computer. I have a Mac PowerBook running Garage Band but the unit comes with a software package that looks more or less like Garage Band, I just didn't feel like learning a new package. Output is either through headphones or the monitor speakers plugged into the computer. I can add anything in my iTunes Library, including songs and backing tracks to Garage Band and it all mixes together. I'm definitely not all that savvy with either Garage Band or sound electronics so it took me a little while to figure it out, but it works like a charm. Just remember to set the "Monitor" in Garage Band to "on". I paid less than $100 on Amazon, I think.
I have four things that I use regularly...1) Trio - You play a progression into it, then it plays back a bass and drum backing track in a selected genre and the key that you played in.2) Beat Buddy - A sadly named piece of equipment, but awesome drum backing track pedal.3) Line 6 Amplifi - Check it out. Can totally model sound and plug any of the above into it. You can also connect via bluetooth and play along and model the sound of anything in your music collection.4) Computer connected to sound interface and nice FRFR speakers and youtube. Massive amount of backing tracks on youtube.
Use two 10-15 watt practice amps like crate or fender? I have two cheap $20 amps, one to take my backing tracks from iphone and the other to play the guitar through. Although im in an apartment and my volume never goes high, so i know amp with iphone cant be damaged. If you want to go loud you may need another option. Just my two cents
For what it's worth. I play my guitar through a MagicStomp pedal, then into a Fender Mustang 2 Moddleing amp. My CD Walkman is put through a small mixer and then out with XLR to a PA speaker. I just have to adjust the loudness of it to match the Amp. I can use headphones also.
And voila! For less than $5 ($15 if you don't have headphones already), you can have a great, simple, hassle free setup! Remember, the better quality headphones and cables you buy, the better it will sound. However, since you are just using it to practice and as long as you can hear the legatto's, harmonics, squeals, tones, etc, what else could you possibly need?
I activate input monitoring and the record button; and I can hear the instrument through the interface and speakers fine when nothing is playing back. But as soon as I hit play back to rehearse against existing tracks, I lose the audio. I do see the meters bouncing for the input channel, but I can't hear it.
If you have Auto Input Monitoring enabled, then Logic will switch from input to Region playback when start playback until you hit Record, where it switches to the input again. If you want to play along during the playback (before punching in) keep AUto Input Monitoring off. This way you can actually hear both signals, the input signal and any Regions on that Track.

Not all guitar learning apps are created equal. Some offer great features for beginners, such as real-time feedback on your playing, play-along tabs and even instructional videos. Others are better suited to more experienced guitarists, allowing you to record and listen back to your playing in order to learn, from hearing, exactly where you need to improve.
While similar to both Songsterr and Ultimate Guitar, Chordify differs in its ability to offer a capo option and the capacity to download songs as MIDI files for easy editing.
The programme has over 8,000,000 songs on tap, and integrates seamlessly with YouTube: It automatically recognises the chords via the audio signal and will synchronise this with your song in a simple and innovative music player. Pretty neat. 152ee80cbc
