Today I want to share some advice on one key thing which is…
Why I encourage you to jam with other musicians when you can.
Not only will jamming with others help you become a more confident musician, but…
Jamming with others is great for the social side of music, it’s great for having fun, and it’s also great for sharing tips and advice.
I’ve just recorded an episode of the Acoustic Asylum podcast about this.
It’s a short episode today, but it’s packed full of useful stuff like:
A simple way to transition from playing on your own to with others
One of the biggest errors I made when I started out… which meant pretty much everything I played had zero rhythm
Why playing with recordings in a super simple way can help you improve everything
A weird bit of imagery of the ‘Gatekeeper’ spinning his head on his shoulders like Linda Blair from The Exorcist (yes, this is kinda relevant to the topic, ha-ha).
How to jam along with me, including three examples you can use today (includes blues, strumming, and Travis picking)
Listen, enjoy, and let’s keep building your guitar skills and confidence.
You can check out the episode below if you have an Apple or iPhone device.
…Or you can listen in a variety of other ways HERE.
Thanks
