Beginner Level 4 - Jam Track 1

Here's the performance video and downloadable audio jam track for Beginner Level 4 - Jam track 1.

Aims

• Use the A, E or D minor chords for this jam track

• Play along to the off-beat rhythm

• Focus on the strum and mute technique

For this jam track, the strumming action is snappy and almost a 'flicking' motion with use of the wrist. This motion is key to getting that Reggae sound, followed by a mute.

This mute allows us to play only on the 'ands' to a count of:

1 - and - 2 - and - 3 - and - 4 - and

Make the strums as short as you can to make it sound really authentic!
