Jam Track 18 - Cramps Style Jam Track
In this video
We'll work on a simplified E minor pentatonic riff inspired by The Cramps' version of "Fever" and similar classic rock patterns. This jam track focuses on developing your timing with a crucial element: most notes land on the beat, but one doesn't - this is the "roll" in rock and roll. I'll show you how palm muting and reverb settings bring this riff to life, creating that authentic vintage sound when combined with proper technique.
