Description
This lesson is a continuation of EP045 (How to Jam With Yourself). However, in this lesson I’ve provided a jam track that contains the 2 chords we used in EP045. Those 2 chords are an A minor and a D7. The jam track is just piano bass and drums, and is missing any accompaniment by guitar, so that will be up to you to provide. Feel free to take the licks you learned in EP045 and combine them with the licks in this lesson to start getting a feel for how jam sessions are created.

On lick 1-2-3 the lessons freeze and I cannot play them.
Good stuff. I like the way your lessons refer back to other lessons. Like the reverse up and down on the 5th and 7th fret filler on lick 3. From Funk lesson 43 right?
I love to way you break it down / makes learning a lot easier.
Thanks Brian
Brian disregard last post. Except great lesson. Operator error.
Brian I think the videos aren’t matching the tabs. Tab 3 is video 1 I think. Anyway great lesson.
I can’t replicate any of the freezing issues that you’re seeing… trying it on multiple browsers. Try clearing your cache and refreshing the page and see if that doesn’t resolve things.
It did and thanx.
You asked for feedback on these types of lessons;
Please keep doing more lessons like the last few, melding into one and another. It is really cool, and as a student, it really helps to see the bigger picture of how music is played.

This is a real nice lesson. Been having fun with it.
This is quite brilliant Brian, please keep stuff coming in this style and technique. Thanks
Thanks agin Brian. Please do more of this type of lesson. It’s very satisfying to put it all together.
Brian, love the last few lessons they have brought me back into the fold. How about the same type of lesson with a bossa nova beat with details on voice leading (think Diana Krall on her first CD love songs)(? It’s a little more advanced but man I’d
love to see the tidbits you bring forth, thanks again.

This is good stuff, more of similar please.
As your student it is discouraging to hear you say that you “don’t have the chops”. I think you have chops; that’s why I subscribed. If I get to where you are and I’m still telling myself I don’t have the chops then this guitar journey is way harder than I thought.
@cdaddyo - if you’ll listen, you’ll hear I was referring to playing like Stevie Ray Vaughan when I said “I don’t have the chops”. There are many professional guitar players that would agree with that statement, only a few that would be cocky enough to say that they are as good as SRV. Not going to apologize for that one.
Hybrid picking. I don’t have the fingernails so it always sounds dull. I can’t really get the finger-picked string to ring out. Do you need fingernails?
You don’t need long fingernails for hybrid picking.. absolutely not necessary.
man this lesson is fun Brian,cant put my gat down,cheers Mick
The slow walk-throughs are much appreciated. So much easier for doing a quick review of the lesson. I sometimes forget how some part of a lesson is supposed to sound, or how the right hand is supposed to be playing it, and this gives me fast access to that information. Thanks Brian.
thank you great lessons.
when I started to play over the jam track I picked up on a Santana feel and I realized that the track is in the same key as Oye Como Va. So I started playing it and poof, the licks fit great over the jam track. Just thought I would mention this as good source for extra ideas for this. By the way, I just joined and this is my first post.
The comment that Oye Como Va works with this lesson was a great observation. I’ve started melding the two together, and it doubles (or triples) the amount of licks that can be used. Thanks for that clue.
Holy Smokes Brian, this is a good lesson. Please consider more where you help us play by ourselves. Unfortunately most of us don’t (yet I hope) have a band and these are fabulous.
Brian,
I have only been signed up as a premium member for about 3 weeks
but just wanted to let you know I love your teaching style. I am 75 years old and have not picked up a guitar in 30 years until just recently, I bought a new electric and have been spending a little time each night. Lesson 046 has been great for me.
Thanks, Jack
Good stuff stumbled on this one through the Throwback Thursday email EP45 & EP46 learnt loads from them , had a bit of a eureka moment jamming along with the track i can actually jam along up the neck brilliant.
Hi Brian, First, I am really enjoying the lessons. Well thought out and presented, very thing I was hoping for. I have been printing out the Tab for practicing. On several of the lessons the tabs take up only a 1/3 of the paper. Any thought about combining so that we only use 1 piece of paper when printing?
Again…THANK YOU!
