    The last one was pure magic. That's exactly my goal, to be capable to play rhythm and lead. Just picking a key and progression and improvise right off the bet. Amazing!

      Thanks so much! The best way of practicing that is to play over a looper or backing tracks. Just go for it and experiment. After a few months you wont believe the way you play and how much more comfortable it is compared to before that. Cheers //Kris

    As a new player content like this is what I am looking for. Thanks so much and if you haven't already, please do a video about the things you wish someone / or you could go back and tell yourself when learning to play guitar and any advice to new players out there. UA-cam us an amazing resource for new players. Oh yeah the jams on this where AMAZING!!

    Great suggestions and examples gentlemen. I aspire to be able to jam with another musician like this one day. Hopefully we get out of this global pandemic and I can put some of my loop practice into use with a live human being.

    Great jams guys! 🔥😊👍 My 2 cents on the tips: recently I seen an amazing jam on a stream, 3 guitars (all white Strats)-4 chords and trading licks while the other 2 held down the rhythm (was Dave Simpson and 2 lovely French ladies, Marjo and Nicole) The foot tapping helps a lot! Even when jamming to yourself and building tracks.

    Eye contact, some of us don’t always have the ability to make a good eye contact so also noticing the body language of your fellow players, watch them tap their foot to help identify they groove. Cause good music makes your body move to it so just do it! 🎵🎶

    • @ThomannsGuitarsBasses
      @ThomannsGuitarsBasses  3 роки тому +1

      Totally Poo! Yes. I never understood those who complain about having a stank face or moving / dancing whilst playing. If a song doesn't make you headbang, move or at least nod your head, it's not a really good one. At least in my book. Haha!
