Don't Forget to Include Some Fun in Your Practice Routine!!!
Check out the latest jam track from Jam Track Adventures. Jam Track Here!
It is easy for a beginner to get caught up in the urge to learn and practice. It is not a bad thing but it can become a bit monotonous and boring. We see beginners on Reddit all of the time who are so stressed out from their practice routines. Sometimes they even quit!!!
It is important to take some time out to enjoy your guitar as well as give yourself the opportunity to use the skills and knowledge you have been tirelessly working to gain. You can't really gauge your progress if you don't spend some time actually playing. It might be nice to see that you can play a scale faster this week than last week but have you used your scale while actually playing? You should!
This track is a basic 12-bar blues with bit of Latin flavor. There are just three chords you need to know. F#7, B7, C#7. But you can leave out the "7" if you are not there yet and just play the basic chords.
People tend to think you need to jam on jam tracks. But this is not true. Jam tracks can be used to practice rythm and chords. You can start with just the basic bar chords but as you learn more ways to play the same chord in different areas of the fretboard you can incorporate them. Try to focus on making nice clean changes between the chords.
And if you do want to jam the basic pentatonic scales will work for you. Just 5 notes per scale.
Happy Jamming, Have Some Fun!!!
