Playalongs

Browse embedded videos and hosted backing tracks for rehearsal with loops, stems, and reusable practice settings.

Playalongs are practice references built for playing with real time, not just reading a chart. The catalog mixes embedded YouTube videos with JolyMusic-hosted files so you can choose the format that fits the rehearsal.

Choosing a source

Embedded videos are useful when the performance, groove, or form already exists on YouTube. They open with the JolyMusic looper so you can repeat precise sections and keep several loop setups when your plan allows saved settings.

Hosted playalongs are files stored by JolyMusic. When a hosted item has multiple tracks, the show page becomes a small sequencer: mute or solo stems, adjust volume and pan, loop a passage, change tempo without changing pitch, and transpose tonal tracks without changing tempo.

Finding material

Use search for titles, descriptions, or video identifiers. Source and tag filters narrow the catalog to a practical rehearsal situation such as a YouTube backing track, a multitrack groove, a jazz standard, or a specific key center.

How to use this page

  1. Browse the catalog by source type, title, description, or tag.
  2. Use tags and search together when you need a specific style, key, or practice context.
  3. Open a playalong to access the looper, hosted player, multitrack mixer, and saved settings when available.

Example

Example: filter hosted files, open a multitrack groove, lower the melody stem, loop four bars, then save that setup for the next practice session.

Embedded videos keep the original external performance while adding JolyMusic loop control.

Hosted multitracks expose stems for mix, loop, tempo, and key practice.
