Aloha all,

I've created a web site of vamps and licks for Hawaiian music. Here's the link:

https://mikebonnice.com/index.php/bag-of-licks/practice-songs

Long ago I tabbed up vamps and turnarounds and licks for Hawaiian music that I like. Then, I wanted to create a method to practice these licks. So, I built this web site. It has these features:

    - backing tracks to play over, play will repeat forever
    - multiple tempos, multiple musical keys
    - able to select portions of a song for repetition
    - linkage between a song and the licks and vamps


There are currently 11 Hawaiian songs, with chord progressions and melodies. There are dozens of vamps and licks.

I suppose this is like a beta release. I run this web site locally on my Mac, so I know it works there. I put it on the internet so the world could benefit. Probably the world will be a more demanding environment than I've tested, so perhaps I'll discover flaws. Let me know if you find any!

I do enjoy making these practice songs. Mostly I choose them based on either their demonstration of a chord progression or because I'm practicing for upcoming performances. I can always add more and I'm open to suggestions.

That is an inspiring construction you have built, Mike!
Rehearsal loops are great to practice on. Thank very much! Idea

Thanks, Mike. I just started on C6 lap steel, and this is a big help.
