Solo over an infinite delay

We had 12 jams planned, but mike suggested showing how to play over an infinite loop of a single chord, which he did with his Boss delay pedal, setting shown in the video. This create a kind of pad sound without any kind of rhythm that you can play over.

You can get a similar effect without a delay pedal by just hotting a low open string .e.g. the thickest E string, and keeping this ringing out like a pedal note while playing lead over the top. Really cool idea - have a go for yourself!

How to make the most of this course

See below interactive TAB synced to video for both the lead and rhythm lines for this jam. Use this to learn a few lick ideas to get you started improvising, or learn the full solos if you wish! Useful features of the interactive TAB player include;

• Slow down and loop sections to break down longer, faster sections into manageable licks
• Activate the 'fretboard visualisation', which shows which note is being played as well as shapes being used, all in real time
• See the TAB brought to life as the player syncs to the video in real time!
