about

Jam Along Blues Album for Fun and Learning

Blues is a fun style of music to jam to. The music is simple enough to use one scale for all of your melodic material, yet complex enough to use the most sophisticated line techniques to play harmonic solos.

The classic blues feel is the shuffle. This common dance rhythm is easy to dance and move to, and the backing tracks provided on the Jam Along Blues Album come with shuffles in a variety of tempos and keys to help you be ready for whatever comes your way in a jam session.

The Jam Along Blues Album is a fun learning tool that provides the opportunity to play along, or sing along, with clear, well-balanced backing tracks that have rock-steady time. With eleven instrumental blues progressions at your disposal, you can jam along any time you want to. These tracks can really help you get the feel of playing the blues, and make the time spent learning fun and easy.

Jam Along Albums are easy to use. Simply play the tracks and jam along. There are no solos, vocals or melodies, just background tracks, so you can really stretch out. Each track lasts at least five or six minutes, so there is lots of solo time for you to try out new ideas and work on improving old ones.

Blues is a great place to start jamming. Blues is one of the foundations of American Music, and provides a foundation for an improvisor in many of the different styles you hear in today's music. Rock-and-Roll, Jazz, Bluegrass, Jump-Swing and many other music forms are saturated with blues harmony and melody.

Blues is easy to play for beginning musicians, and can provide a challenge to the most advanced performer. Jamming with the Blues Scale, the Minor Pentatonic Scale, and the Dorian Scale is immensely satisfying. At the same time, the most comprehensive collection of techniques can be applied, including the use of Modal Scales, Functional Harmony, and Jazz Line Techniques.

The chord progressions are provided as PDF downloads for each progression. The last three progressions are part of advanced Blues studies, and work best playing By Chord.
