So I did so me digging for 'royalty free' and well, yes kinda. And mostly no.

But I reckon wikiloops is a the best I've found so far. https://www.wikiloops.com/knowledge/use_of_tracks_outside_wikiloops.php

The ones that don't expressly mention it or non commercial use is kinda vague

I did spy a few royalty free playlists on Spotify and channels on YT. And did go through a few where a once off payment ($15-150) get you lifetime royalty free access to their library and lots of subscription based ones.

You guys find any?

Talk about going back! (Hopefully this will qualify @V8?)

In 2017 There was a competition I finished but never entered (too intimidated) . Fortunately I found my old original entry and feel it still deserves to be heard. Here is the great original backing track.

The rules were only steel licks with a Telecaster Style guitar were allowed and Important: You must not use a bender on your Telecaster. Only finger work.

studmissile Hopefully this will qualify

Sure! I don't see why not, though I'm not going to dig into the t&c's - sure they don't mind 😁

Agreed, that is a great track!

      Neighbours turned off their electric fence long enough for me to record some guitar! Found a backing track with drums, bass and some stabby Stratty guitar, and used my Les Paul to lay down the rest.

      Oh damn. This has been back of mind. I fear i wont make this challenge im afraid. Been busy with a different project which is eating up my spare time. Hope to be back in the saddle with the next one though

      Bluetone Thanks, yeah it does sound good. If I remember correctly I used a rosewood tokai breezy that always seems to deliver a sweet tone with little effort. Unfortunately it's a little on the heavy side.

        studmissile Has that thick, syrupy Tele tone I associate with Julian Lage or Jim Campilongo.

            Yeah, work is just much at the moment. I'm going to need to sit this one out too.

            Oh, that was close, I'm quite busy atm. However I managed to record something with my bagpipes last week, but somehow forgot to finish and enter the song 😅 I'm glad I didn't miss the deadline 😃

            Of course it has to be bagpipes again! 😀 And a second rhythm guitar, I'm not skilled enough with the guitar yet for solos 🤣

            The backing track is by Nick Neblo (I clipped it because it's very long):

            Thanks for entering everyone!
