Each of the 100 grooves have been recorded with the Keyboard part playing along with a rhythm section of Guitar Bass Drums Organ and in many of the grooves Percussion. There is also a three minute Play-Along track for each of the 100 grooves minus the keyboard part so that you can practice along with the rhythm tracks adding up to over 5 hours of Play-Along tracks.A Spotify playlist containing the songs that have influenced the grooves can also be listened to.
