Old style backing tracks / playalongs

Hi, as i only could find modern style backing tracks to songs i wanted to learn i made ones with old school chords myself.
Thought this could be interesting for some of you too. Filmed the rhythm playing for some additional "online jam" feeling.
Djangos Tiger without F7 and with plain chords:
Troublant Boléro:
And the last one, "Distraction". Love that tune but never heard anyone play it. Let's change that together!
Tried to figure out the chords from the piano accompaniment. Not 100% sure for the Bb if it should be a 7 or plain major as i played it, otherwise i think i got it down:
Hope you enjoy!

I'm totally stealing Troublant!
Good work. These are precisely the chords I'd want to hear from a rhythm section on a gig or a jam.
Distraction somehow escaped my attention before, but it's a cool tune - I'm interested to learn it now
You're a good timekeeper lol
When I do these backing tracks for myself I always have a metronome in the ear buds. Not that Ol' Double Whiskey needs such a thing but that is just me.
Me too although sometimes I use an actual band recording instead of a click. Makes it easier to lock in with.
Very glad to hear and very cool, let's establish it as a jam tune together!
I have it on good authority that Ol' Double Whisky also had a click in his ear when recording these videos. I'm sure that rascal would never admit that though.
