Hey, Mon! Have fun "jammin'" Jamaican-style over this Reggae Jam Track. This looping guitar jam track is in B minor, following the progression |Bm - - - |G - A - |
Some cool scale choices:
A clean, reverb-drenched guitar sound will serve this style well. Try using a touch of palm-muting for that staccato, "stucky", sound ...

A song that seems to get alot of requests on-stage and at backyard/campfire jams is "Wanted: Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi. This tune is a great rock anthem with some very cool arpeggio picking guitar parts

It's nearly 15 years since the death of guitarist/songwriter Kurt Cobain but the music of Nirvana still influences almost every 'alternative' rock group to this day. Great songwriting, great voice and a great riff writer. This video guitar lesson shows how to play Nirvana's "About A Girl", the MTV Unplugged "Live in New York" version.

Here is a fun backing track for your endless-jamming pleasure. It is a rock shuffle jam in the key of A.
The chord progression is: |A - - - | G/A - - - |D/A - - - |A - - -| . The way to read 'G/A' is 'G over A' and means a G chord is played with an A bass note. Essentially the ...
