I perform in open mics in my spare time, when I decide to perform a cover of a song I usually play the guitar as well as singing it. Therefore, I create a backing track for the song that doesn’t have either the voice or the guitar, that way, I can play it on the background while I sing and play the guitar.

Please also read split-track.sh for an automated script that runs the
two commands run in the article above.
