The above tune is a complete instrumental, I take it you wouldn't use something like this at a jam session as you would kinda need to work it out with the band first - or could you still use it as it still fits the 12 bar pattern?

Regards

Kenny

It works 100% as is in a jam. Call a "Tramp Beat" in "A" "From the V."

The Srut Jam Track

Hi David,
I'm getting ready to submit my attempt at 'The Strut' but the lesson notes advise us to use the 20% slowed down jam track but I can't find it, I only see the full tempo Jam Track or the slowed down tracks with harmonica. Is it somewhere else on the site?

Regards

Stuart

Thanks for the note. I'll take that note off... I ended up slowing the entire song down 15% (including the jam track), it was just too fast for a study song. So, use the one jam track as listed on the site (again, it has been slowed down 15% already).
