Jam Track 18 - Cramps Style Jam Track

We'll work on a simplified E minor pentatonic riff inspired by The Cramps' version of "Fever" and similar patterns like '20th Century Boy'.

This jam track focuses on developing your timing with a crucial element: most notes land on the beat, but one doesn't - this off-beat feeling I'm calling 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 that let's the reverb be heard.

• Simple pentatonic pattern that repeats like a riff!

• Essential palm muting technique using the outside edge of your palm

• Boss Katana spring reverb set at 4/10 for 50s/60s Fender amp sound

• Understanding on-beat versus off-beat timing in rock rhythm playing

• Bonus bass riff pattern that adds one note outside the pentatonic scale

• Developing our timing naturally through jam track practice
