This jam track explores a G-B7-Em-C progression with picking embellishments inspired by "Half the World Away" and countless Oasis-style songs like "Stand By Me".

To vary our playing in this Jam Track, we'll add subtle picking flourishes that embellish the chords but aren't playing full lead lines. This can give us a break from full strumming and add some 'professional' sounding flare to easy chords!

Main Learning Points:

• Difficulty levels: two-strum pattern and picking embellishments

• Tone Tips: Middle pickup position for rounded and warm sound instead of bright bridge pickup

• Swing feel: "1 - & - 2 - & - 3 - & - 4 - &" delay the '&' slightly for a shuffle groove

• How these picking techniques prepare you for the next blues lessons
