Jam Track 1 - One String Thing

Your first jam track experience! This lesson introduces you to playing with a backing track using simple single notes. It's a great way to develop timing and rhythm skills while keeping the technical demands manageable.

• Understanding bars and beats: the basic structure of music timing

• Playing "spreads" (whole notes) vs. "on the beat" (quarter notes)

• Using frets 0, 5, and 7 on string 6 with proper timing

• Finger options: single finger vs. using multiple fingers

• Listening for accurate timing: avoiding the "two sounds" problem
