Fingerstyle 101 Basic Jams

Each series of jams below are taken from not only lessons we are currently covering, but also additional jams that I thought you would be interested in learning.

Jam A

This was taken from our Supplemental Example from Basic Techniques 1. Remember it was a combination of various chords from C, Am, G, and E in no particular order.

Jam B

This jam reminds me of a video game theme song. The progression allows for quite
a few ups and downs in the same way that video games ‘loop’ a particular
level.

Progression: F, C, Am, E

Here’s an uplifting one that I consider intermediate, only because of the third
