Mini Jam #6 - 3 tunes at 85bpm

This week we've got something I haven't done in a while - a mini jam episode. That means we're playing 3 tunes back to back instead of focussing on just one. The idea is it feels a bit more like playing at a jam session. I know some of you use these tracks to work up to attending a jam so hopefully this will help with that!

I've gone for  3  tunes with a more open feel, they're not quite as busy as tunes like Blackberry Blosson. They are:

  1. Home Sweet Home in D 
  2. Red Wing in G
  3. Peartree in G


We're doing all three at 85bpm 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 20 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.

Thanks,
Matt
