OK, one last thing about that backing track: Can it be downloaded?

Hi Raleigh --- thanks for the reminder.  You can find the backing track "play button" on the right side of the screen just under the webcam recorder.  Enjoy.

Myself, I get carried away with these hammer-ons. :-) I tend to play too many of them so when I try to follow the tune I'm completely off. lol

It sounds like a number of ghost notes in there where you're balancing breath and/or keeping the rhythm.  After you run up the scale and return to the two-draw there's a little...
