| Jam Tracks
These
are play along audio files. You can play along with me, practice
vamping on the chords, or improvise a solo with the band backing you
up. 80 bpm may seem pretty slow, but if you are just getting used to
4-string chords for vamping this gives you plenty of time to think. |
| Boil Them Cabbage Down
| 80 bpm | 120 bpm | |
| Cripple Creek | 80 bpm | 120 bpm | |
| Hot Corn, Cold Corn | 80 bpm | 120 bpm | |

These are songs that I have not made a lesson for yet. Hopefully I'll have lessons for them all one day. |
