Jam with Dman!

[Dmanlamius]

Hiya, guys! I have put down a few guitar/drum tracks with the idea of giving people the opportunity to practice to something that isn't a metronome, and to also practice their ear/sight work.

I have purposfully not told the notes (after the first) I am playing as I thought it would be more beneficial for people to try and put something down by ear and sight. If they can get this technique down, it will be an in-valuable tool for their overall musicianship. Don't forget that there is no right and wrong as to what you write alongside these tracks, only what is pleasing to you. If you are feeling brave, respond to my video on youtube with your own bassline. We have a few great lines up there already from people, and i'll be interested to see more, if anyone want's to get involved. I'll be adding to this series quite a bit...

Have fun.

Good idea, Walman!

Thankyou, my friend.

Thanks - can you give me a clue what key they're in ?

If remember correctly, at the beginning of each video a key is given (written).. Just take a look at the vid, mate

Cheers,
Faith.

Ha, thats right, Geek!

Just out of interest, how are you finding them to jam along to? I've got some great responses on youtube.

Not tried yet - time pressures
Will have to sit and figure chords first (I am a learner!)
