The First Jam series was created to
give children and beginners of all ages a book of simple, common tunes to
learn. These are standard “Jam” tunes in the Bluegrass/Old Time music styles.
All the books in this series are written in the same keys; they can all be
played together without any problems. So get your friends or family who play
guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, dulcimer or Dobro
together, grab these books and start jamming.
Improvisation – Another idea behind writing the First Jam series was to provide
a number of tunes that were easy to learn, but that are also a great to begin
working on improvising. Each book in the series offers the melody for that
particular instrument as well as back-up chords for another instrument to
accompany you. Each song is represented in Tab, notation and chord symbols. The
accompanying CD has two tracks for each song. The first playing the song with
the melody line, the second track offers just the backup so you can play the
melody over it or even improvise. Tunes include: Cripple Creek, Old Joe Clark,
Will the Circle Be Unbroken and many more.
