Hi I'm posting on behalf of my son. He was due to use his Fender amp on Tuesday to help him perform a piece on his electric guitar which is a marked part of his Music GCSE. His dad said he could use it, I took time of a.m. and p.m. so he could get the amp to school, now tonight his dad now says Tom can't use it. It is an Xmas present but i did ask a week ago if he could use it or not and was told yes. Had he said no we might have had chance to organise something else.... (rrrrr)

What he wanted to do was use backing tracks he's found on Fender Fuse and has already downloaded to the amp (which tracks he says he can't find anywhere else), to enable him to play Sultans of Swing, with a really good backing track.

If I could order something now to arrive Monday which could somehow replicate that - without the amp in our possession - what would it be? Can we get the fender track, download it to an android phone, get some mobile phone speakers to enable that to be audible in the background.... any ideas...? I don't have much time to try and sort something out for the poor kid.

He can't post himself as he's in a different town right at the mo, but the answer notifications will go to his email account so he'll then be able to see them (and I can see them here). Any help and ideas anyone can give would be v gratefully received indeed.

Thank you.

The backing tracks don't actually download to the amp, they are downloaded to the computer and played by Fender FUSE. Since the backing track you need is already downloaded, all you have to do is browse to his My Documents folder and open the following folder:

Fender\FUSE\Audio\WaveMP3

Inside the WaveMP3 folder, you will find all the downloaded backing tracks. Since the backing tracks are in WAV format, you can simply burn the file you need onto a CDR disk, and it will be playable in regular home stereo systems, car CD players, etc.

Or..... you could copy the WAV file you need onto a portable media player such as an iPod, an iPhone, a Windows Phone, etc. Then use the headphone out from the portable media player to play the audio.

What you play it through I depends on what's available. Is there a PA system or stereo where the performance will be? Try to find out what's available and work from there.

Thanks - I'll have to see what can be done. I'm hoping he can download it to his android phone or burn onto a CD and they can output the track for him to play along to. Thank you.

Hi Tom Boyes,

We wanted to chime in here and see if you were able to sort out the backing track challenge? Unfortunately, we do not have this particular track on the Fender® FUSE™ Community site. If you have not found the backing track you need, you may want to try to search for the backing track online. There are a variety of web sites that have minus vocal and/or minus lead guitar, etc. available. Please let us know if we can assist further.

Best Regards,
