How to Use These Jam Tracks
Wondering how to use the tracks? We're sure you'll think of countless ways, but here are just a few possibilities:
- The Jam Tracks are a natural combination with the scale study books in our catalog. New York Guitar Method Volume One for Guitarist and Essential Scales for any instrumentalist would be excellent choices. Since these books work with applying the scales in all keys and give you both modal sequences and chord voicings, combining that information with playing against the tracks will really solidify your musicianship in these areas.
- Jam Tracks are an essential tool when learning about Approach Notes as found in New York Guitar Method Volume Two. There is an extreme learning curve when applying Approach Note figures to specific beats within a measure. The Jam Tracks are uniquely suited to getting you through this hurdle.
- Working with the Rhythm Series and the Jam Tracks can be a good way to understand the relationship of a printed rhythm to the real music situation presented in a Jam Track. Since the rhythm series covers 4 rhythm levels within all the books available this is an excellent chance to develop an understanding of various rhythms within each Jam Track's musical environment. Rhythm Primer and Rhythms Volume One would be the logical starting place.

- What people are saying:
-
- I own all three of the currently available Jam Tracks Volumes. Using these MP3s is my favorite part of practicing each day. I was way to far into just playing exercise after exercise and although I felt I had more chops I didn't feel like I had much to say when I improvised. Bruce recommended that I take everything I learn and apply it to real music and what better way than these jam tracks. Highly Recommended! S. Rommel
- Jam Tracks Volume Two is much more rock'n than the 1st volume. I recognize some of the tracks from Bruce's music so they must be excerpts? I really enjoy how they change throughout the track. It's not just a static 4 or 8 bars repeating but a track that breathes and changes. Some of the tracks took me a minute to understand. The 5/4 tracks are really subtle in the way they outline that time signature. I'm enjoying soloing over them but it's also been an education to understand their underlying structure. Very cool stuff. G. Townshend
- Bruce recommended these tracks for studying pitch class set improvisation. All these tracks are based on an 025 pitch class set. First that is very cool how they are all built on a simple 3 note grouping. Second they are kick ass rock grooves with subtle undertones of fusion. Third they have really shown me that pitch class sets isn't something for just classical composers it's a living breathing way to write new music in any idiom. Kudos!. J. Appleton
- Very cool grooves on these jam tracks but also very cool guitar riffs. I'm stealing some of these for my rock band. Not only am I enjoying playing over these jams but I'm also learning a lot about creating guitar parts for various rock grooves. Very useful stuff. K. Hawthorne.
- These are a definite must own for anyone looking to expand their rock jams. I'm especially enjoying the 5/4 cuts. Eric Clapton's "White Room" comes to mind. These jams seem like a cross between Jeff Beck and Joe Satriani. Awesome! H. Franks.
