The Jam Band Primer - A Grateful Dead Guitar Course

This course is for all of you Dead fans, as well as those who feel stuck playing over changes. The key is to use SIMPLE melodies to connect triads and dyads.

IT'S ABOUT BECOMING A "THIRD HUNTER."

This is part one of a series, where I'll provide a systematic way to practice this approach. 

In Parts 2 through 4 (coming soon) we'll go even further with rhythmic, harmonic, melodic, and songwriting breakdowns.  

Buckle up. This is the key (at least it was for me) to chord tone soloing!
