This is a great question and I hope others chime in.

I started as a beginner with JamPlay and focused on getting everything right with the lessons. My focus, however, was more on the techniques...

Good job! Sounds swampy!

Welcome DoninETexas. You have my vote for listening to yourself, especially at 84! Good luck with playing. There are a lot of great lessons and people on this site for sure.

Some of the one's that have worked for me:

Heartbreak Hotel (Elvis Presley)
Take Me Home, Country Roads (John Denver)
Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen) - I shortened it up so people didn't get bored....

It could be many things. My acoustic and electric play different also. I would take both guitars to the tech and explain what is happening. If you aren't playing the Les Paul hard, maybe the tech...

Thanks for good suggestions and the recommendation on the book. Another book I found a while back (but haven't used much) is Dan's Big Awesome Acoustic Soundbook. The version I downloaded is 767...

A couple of my favorites:

The Load Out / Stay by Jackson Browne

And of course, The Wall Album by Pink Floyd

Thanks for the suggestions. I will give them a shot.

I tried Heartbreak Hotel one night, a little skeptical people would get into it. Well, after some drinks, they were belting it out! Probably...

Jason, thanks for the response. I am still confused about the David Isaacs series, for example. I am subscribed to the Artist Series but don't remember getting notified of David's course. I found out...

What are some of your favorite, tried and true campfire songs? You know, the ones that get people belting like they are on stage with their bodies swaying back and forth.

Sorry for the confusion. Sticking with the JamPlay lessons that you feel comfortable with is the best thing to do. JamPlay has great instructors.

I am like you and still learning to play. I get a...

Steve Eulberg (I assume that's who you are talking about) has some good fingerpicking lessons on JamPlay. Another good instructor is Eve Goldberg. In addition to her lessons, I highly recommend you...

Lisa's course was one of the courses I started when I joined and I enjoyed it. I didn't finish the entire course, however, because I was a new player. I really hadn't played much guitar prior to...

Got it fixed! Thanks!

Heads up. There might be something wrong with the Guided Practice Video for Week 3 - Sus2 and Sus4. I get "Error loading media: File could not be played" when trying to play it and "404 - Not Found"...

I'm at the point in my playing where I want to start singing while playing also. And nope, can't sing. I can match pitch, so I think I have potential (telling myself that anyway!).

I've...

Another course that I enjoyed was Finding Your Voice: Improvisation by Michael Palmisano. I am working through it a second time and will go through it again. This course is a journey and not just...

I was wondering the same thing. Any update?

I like the videos and different sounds. Good job!!!

Nwhy,

That’s a great idea, and it fits in with the notes I take when I’m putting something together for the backing track. I played with your idea a little bit and used the linking capabilities of...

Bet,

I liked your idea and applied to it what I’m working on now, which is getting the notes in improvising to fit the chords with meaning, while throwing in 4ths and 7ths throughout. I haven’t...

Huge,

Thanks for your reply. As you work through the tracks, if any other ideas come to mind, let me know.

I am finding that I am not jumping from track to track, noodling over each one and...

Thanks again BetThisNameAintTaken for your response. You keep these forums going and that

Thanks again BetThisNameAintTaken for your response. You keep these forums going and that’s a good thing!

I think I asked the wrong question, and hence discovered a real value in the JamPlay...

Good idea. Thanks!
