Acoustic Jam Guitar Lesson – Jam With a Buddy – EP209

Description

In this acoustic guitar lesson, you’ll learn both rhythm and lead parts for a 2 person jam that can be played on acoustic or electric guitar. This is designed for you to be able to play with someone else, however, if you don’t have another guitar picker nearby, then you can use the provided MP3 jam tracks. I’ve included one jam track missing lead, one missing rhythm, and one that has both parts.

    Wow, very cool and a great ” buddy session “. Bryce, I have to say I was impressed by your rhythm playing and how well you both sounded together. Y’all sounded as if you had played many times together before this. Congrats on a great lesson.

    Very cool way to “change the beat of the drum” Brian. I’m sure many of us premium members are a tad envious of Mr Bryce. What’s next ?…maybe an Active melody weekend camp session in Tennessee? Anyhow, thanks for another good one!

    Bryce, that chronic cold you’re going to catch will be totally worth it! Nice job, buddy. Your prediction about this being an awesome lesson was right on the mark.

    Well, it had to happen. Now that was just down-right intimidating.
    Reminds me of Chappers & the Captain.

    Good to see you two performing together! Bryce, would like to have some insight into how much you’ve progressed since joining AM… where were you at pre-AM and how much has Brian’s influence helped you progress? Would be an inspiration to this humble picker.

      I basically only knew first position chords 4 years ago and now I play at blues jams at can take leads. I still have a great deal to learn but Active Melody / Brian’s teaching was instrumental (no pun intended) in my guitar development to date.

    Man, this one caught me by surprise and what a cool one at that. That was so much fun to watch and listen to. I wish I could have been there (just not in front of the cam, of course) The lesson goes right in my list so I can jam with my buddies Brian & Bryce 😉

    Great “Tour De Force” Bryce !
    Brian, second Lead video seems to freeze in many spots.
    First time I have issues streaming AM videos so I am not sure what is happening. Would you mind checking ?

    What a good idea! I can’t wait to try this lesson with a jam buddy. Meanwhile, it will work very well on my loop station.
