As I said before, I'm not a writer I am a guitarist and probably are too. Having said that I want to talk about the play-along CD's.
A few months ago, my cousin was visiting New York and her husband, a guitarist, wanted to be in the studio and play my guitar. So we were jamming and I took some play-in chorus and asked if there were any. He said I have not played "Jam Band Jams". Once he started playing he was like a kid in a store sweet and said, "This is awesome, can not believe I have never heard of these things." The enlightened man. I did not want to stop playing. I gave him some of the play-along CD's from my collection and told him I'm going to buy new copies. Of course, it also provided a copy of "Jam Band Jams". He could let it go back to New York without being assured that there was some play-along CD's in their rehearsal space.
When was the last time this is inspired to pick up his guitar and play?
This material is the same no matter what instrument you play. A friend of mine is an incredible pianist. I lent some of my CD's to play with him, because he wanted to work on some new things and new sources of inspiration for some of the game. A week Later I said that everything had been doing all week was interference for them. "Those things are awesome, I've been burning all day. I even play in my car and when I get home I go back to jamming.
Again I ask, when was the last time that inspires this for play?
Too often just beginning is what keeps people from practice. How many times have you been sitting watching TV you're probably thinking be playing his guitar, but it does not, and the next thing you know a game day has passed you by? What if you had a band waiting to play with you anytime you wanted? Would that make you want to play more? I bet it is. You need to play-in chorus.
My friend Doug, who worked on "Jam Band Jams" and is also working on "Hard Rock Band Jams", always said that these would be dead when he was a child learn to play guitar, especially when he was learning scales and improvisation. It also has a large collection of game-Alongs now and use it frequently.
Besides kick in the seat to get practice and inspiration to become a better player, the game-a choir is one of the most important tools that you have to improve in the guitar. You have to have them. Get them and get a lot of them. They are second to interference and learn from others. N Play-Along will ever replace the need entering a room with real musicians and jam, but they can play with a band, even if no one is around. You will get better in the solos, scales, arpeggios, guitar technique, phrasing, timing and a million other things. It is also important to learn the chords and rhythms to the backing tracks that is more jams to improve that aspect of his game. Unfortunately the pace of play is still overlooked by many guitarists, but let's try another day.
Once again, thank you for listening
