A New Backing Track For “Salt Creek”

“Salt Creek” is a fiddle tune that was popularized by Bluegrass legend Bill Monroe (1911-1996). The tune is a Bluegrass staple that originated as “Salt River,” an old Irish-American tune. Dave Hum recorded the song in standard tuning (gDGBD); capo 2nd fret, 5th string capo 7th fret for key of A. I have made backing tracks in the keys of A and G for your preference. Enjoy!
I used MIDI for the bass, piano and drums. I used real audio for the shaker and tambourine. I'm also playing my Cort 6-string acoustic guitar, and MD505CC Eastman mandolin.
