Mini Jam #1 - 3 tunes at 75bpm

Mini Jam #1 - 3 tunes at 75bpm

This week we've got something a little different for you. This is the first in a series of 'mini jams', which I'm putting together to feel a bit more like playing at a real jam. That means we're playing 3 tunes back to back instead of focussing on just one.

This week's tunes are:

  1. Whiskey Before Breakfast in D (starts at 1:11)
  2. Soldier's Joy in D (starts at 8:31)
  3. Red Haired Boy in A (starts at 15:58)


We're taking it steady at 75bpm and each tune follows our regular 'jam along' format. That means I play backup and you play lead, then we swap, then we repeat the whole thing another 3 times. The whole jam lasts around 25 minutes.

If you want chord charts for these tunes,  head to bluegrassjamalong.com, where you'll also find details of how to get in touch. I'd love to hear any feedback on these mini jams so do let me know what you think.
