Each song below is broken up into two seperate parts: the rhythm and melody sections. We recommended watching both as there is a lot of hidden information in these gems. Learning the song itself is only the first part of the journey. After learning, try improvising over the included JamTrack, try write your own melody or lead section, or even try to write your own version of the rhythm.
