How to Use & Play-Along with Jam Tracks!

[@kcirmusic1]

I've listened to this video three times and can't thank you enough for how well you explain things. It's at the 12:00 minute mark that perfectly describes where I'm at in learning how to play the blues. I struggle to go from a minor pentatonic pattern into soloing. Your video is a tremendous help!

[@yourguitarsage]

Love that, Rick. Thank you. 🙏🤗👍

[@TerryTinsel]

Yep, thats the spot!

[@wakamiwailer]

A lot of things fell into place for me while watching this one vid. Can’t wait to watch the rest!

[@muss1237]

He is a great teacher . I did the first course about 6 years ago when i knew ...NOTHING . Now trying to play interesting pieces and understood everything he said . Great teacher but YOU still need to do the work to follow up

[@yourguitarsage]

🙏😃thank you.

[@offbeatbassgear]

Always a pleasure to view a new clip

[@quenaniaquena3891]

You are wonderful :) Thank you so much, your videos are exactly what I needed and I am so happy to have found your channel. Studying many of your videos now to finally understand the "mystery" of jamming. Thank you so much. Sending lots of love from Germany

[@dougleo]

Thanks, as always, for doing this.

[@WORRO]

Love your call and response videos those are helpful for sure,,,I'm much more of a hands on type person, for example I'm the one that never read the instruction manuals,, I gotta touch it and figure it out. Good video Brother E! Thank you ~John

[@flouisbailey]

You do, thanks.

[@timcavileer7024]

Thanks Eric! Glad to find this on KZbin because on Facebook the audio and video are so out of sync.

[@adrianojameson629]

Hey Erich, I dig your Jam Tracks \o/ Especially that Reggae one. I love Reggae but never tried to play on guitar, so I did on your track and I loved it. I also love to break out that major minor concept giving some spice or simply produce some descant sound for a second just to break it down to a wonderful harmonic sound. You are so inspiring, thanks for that! Stay safe \o/

[@deloreswood6639]

Absolutely love your videos. I have learned so much from you!

[@alrusso3156]

Super cool Erich! I remember similar practice music when I was young learning drums. They called it “MMO” or Music minus one. All the players but the drummer. Ha.

[@rajennaidoo7]

Thank you Erich.Just grappling with timing/accomodating the bars when transitioning.I reasonably understand the fundamentals of soloing and can solo with relative ease in swinging eights/syncopated groove.It's the rock/pop/country groove that I am grappling with (4/4; 2/4;3/4and 6/8 timing).Regards, Rajen

[@amir.zolghadr]

Great Erich. Really enjoyed your lesson. Thank you

[@neilmartin99]

Cool lesson. And yes, I still have a million questions. : )

[@johncran52549]

Just found you and I like your jam tracks. Very simple stuff for us beginners! Technically challenged over here so I'm trying to figure out what to play the tracks through? Audio amp, speakers? Don't want to put it through my guitar amp. Can't seem to find technical setup.

[@aradhyanigammusic7117]

Sir I'm your big fan...I also learning guitar From Your UDEMY Course❤️❤️This was Awesome🎉🎉❤️ Sir I have Request ...Can You plz Make A video on which guitar Has to buy, Both Electric and Acoustic❤️❤️

[@flouisbailey]

Dude you are out there and I’m wanting to be with you!

[@pixgaming6911]

I really love your lessons on Udemy thank you!

[@christhacker9901]

Very cool. Thanks.

[@Rachaelkay92]

Thanks Erich!

[@wakamiwailer]

I’m used to the pent m and thanks to you I can actually find a grove in it not just going up and down the scale. Question though. Anyone who knows please put in your two cents: jam tracks with chord changes… do you stick with the root? Or go to the area on the fretboard where E is the corresponding note of the chord that being played and play the pent m shape there? And if so, do you focus on the note that’s being played on the track or the root? I’ve tried both but because of my lack of chops, everything ends up sounding not so great.

[@luikriaco]

Thank's mate !!!

[@bubbba4945]

Erich, yous damn good!!!

[@arnyarny77]

my question is when i try to jam along to all these jam tracks, some i can play beautifully, BUT some dont sound right at all i think maybe i need to tune in certain keys? depending on what key the track is recorded in?

[@TheGamingCrib75]

Lol had 2 adverts from Guitar Tricks whilst trying to watch this 😂

[@TheChicagoTodd]

Great video Erich.....the link only seemed to become active exactly at noon....not sure if that was by intent....prior to that it was marked private. Good stuff! Also...this didn't show up as a live vid...meaning no live chat was activated...not sure if it was supposed to be or not.

[@shash-onemanband6140]

Every Major scale has a relative minor scale too. The key changes but the notes remain the same. So how to select the scale if key is known?

[@neilmartin99]

There is no one set rule. You can use either.

🚩Have noticed Pro jam.. Everytime I hit the Link, I get a Warning.. Hackers?? What to do? Thanks

[@steveh3755]

Dig that!

[@cawilky]

Would have been nice to see you play with the jam track visible as you play along with it. Just to give us a visual example . This seems very foreign without seeing how someone uses the tracks. At least for me.

[@mattkett]

This is James Hetfields alter-ego who likes to pretend he only just now learned to jam. Nice vid

[@yourguitarsage]

🤘😂

[@ozman6602]

Normally I would agree with you but Jimmi Hendrix came outta his momma woom with a guitar in his hands jamming a tune he was just born couldn't talk yet naturally but that tune would later be called voodoo child. According to witness and the doctor who gave birth to him.

[@yourguitarsage]

😂👌

[@coarsegoldkid]

This question is going to make all of your viewers laugh. I'm just learning so go easy on this old man. I see many YT instructors like yourself that provide jam tracks to practice the lesson they are trying to get across. What I want to know it what to do with it the track. Do I play it back on my computer or phone? Is it best to use some sort of device with a start/stop pedal or to play it through a device that has it's own amplification? Seems like using a computer to play it back would be a pain in the butt unless there's special software. I just don't know what to do. HELP

[@yourguitarsage]

It’s actually a very good question, my friend. This video will help explain some of that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqirnJaXba6Bndksi=pYSoEsXXLuNTSqNU Essentially, you play notes and phrases within the key that compliment, the chord progression. As with any sort of art, this is a concept that takes some investigating, development, and trial and error.

[@coarsegoldkid]

My concern is what equipment do I need. Thanks@@yourguitarsage

Erich I I'm Dominick Rivera from DominickGuitar and I just wanted to say that I have a new flanger pedal

Help a brotha out, when I hit the link to the jam tracks I get a security warning. Anyone else?

Not to be stupid how long should one person practice playing the old man

[@danielpomaville9051]

I do like your video's

[@olesneaker]

So many commercials...

[@yourguitarsage]

Zero commercials, Mike. Giving away a free course and giving you guys MORE access to me.

[@InvisibleKiduk]

gave up half way. all i can hear is buy my sh!t i am doing nothing for free

[@yourguitarsage]

Maybe that’s possibly the filter that you have on life? Seeing as I have a bout 1100 free videos here on KZbin and I’ve given over $1 million worth of courses away, I’d say that your statement is inaccurate. Not that you will probably see your own folly.

[@suncoaster8578]

Thanks for doing all you do. 😎
