Jamorama

Learn to Play Guitar with Jamorama is a collection of downloadable ebooks, games and video/audio files that comes with membership and a required fee. The ebooks include detailed and in-depth pictures and exercises with icons that inform you if there is an audio or video recording that goes along with the particular lesson. The well-designed games cover chord identification, sight-reading and pitch recognition. Jamorama lacks an animated fretboard, the ability to record performance, repetition looping, performance feedback and music tracking. Jamorama only offers email support for customer inquiries, but they are quick to respond and helpful. Unfortunately, you can not access any of the material from the members section until you download some of the content to your computer. We found the Jamorama material to include amusing and entertaining games and lessons for the beginning player, but lacking in advanced features for musicians that may want to record there own arrangements.

I now give online private One on one lessons: www.ashburymusichall.com The backing track can be downloaded from playbassnow.com (you need to register first) playbassnow.com An example of getting out of the root note box when improvising fills and solos. Our trusted pentatonic scale the Major pentatonic (1, 2, 3, 5, 6) is used for more advanced sinister purposes: Even if you are playing over a Cm7 chord, STOP thinking dorian and minor pentatonic from the root D, but think MAJOR and major pentatonic starting on Bb (the b7 of Cm7). And another way of looking at it : Cm7 is the second (llm) step/mode of the Bb major scale (l) so the notes are the same , we just emphasize other scale steps most important we DONT emphasize the root C For this fill im using only notes from the Bb Major pentatonic scale to make it even simpler and most bassplayers have that scale in their fingers allready Totally different patterns will appear on your fretboard , when you think in other scale degrees than the root, and you will make up new hipper lines.
