Yes, there are lots of backing tracks available. Stephane Wrembel offers a great collection for free on his Web site: http://www.stephanewrembel.com/rhythmtracks.html

And Denis Chang's created an excellent playalong CD: http://tinyurl.com/carsjnm

Also, once you've absorbed Gypsy Picking and Gypsy Rhythm, check out Denis' instructional DVDs. Denis is one of the finest teachers in the world, and his DVDs are an amazing set of resources that will keep you busy for a long time.

I did get that CD along with his 5 Jazz Manouche DVDs...

Has anyone done Denis's DVDs and the RA program simultaneously? I'm wondering if I should enrole in the RA? I love Rosenberg's sound. I may be biting off more than I can chew eh?

Sorry, I see now from your initial post that you ordered Denis' DVDs. They are really excellent.

Don't worry about your age - I was 60 when I started. We'd all have been better off if we had started at the age of SIX like the gypsy players, but we didn't, so we do what we can.
