"I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!

"With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg

Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.Love the way you jump straight into cool stuff in these lessons.
Great lesson Paul :-) Enjoyed the bassline
In addition to supplemental content, your thoughts on soloing over this progression would be very interesting. Thanks.
Well, this lesson has been posted for over a month now and still no supplemental content. I love these lessons, but some of us still need that extra assistance. Please help us out. Thanks for the great set of lessons. Bob
Hello Paul, I am learning lots from your lessons here and in the arpeggio set. I agree with the others, supplemental content, especially for the G Jazz blues would be helpful. No need to hurry. Us theory geeks are OK with taking the time to explain the relationships in the chord progressions. You mentioned I got Rhythm; it would be great if you would use that as a basis for another lesson in this set. Thanks so much! Martin
Absolutely great lesson Paul! Thank you so much!
Me too. Thanks
I second the supplemental content addition. I find it very helpful & hope that you'll add it. The lesson is GREAT - I just need the supplement to reinforce.
Me too!
Paul, great lesson set. I'm looking forward to your supplemental content for lesson#5!
