Wondering who's playing on this jam track or where it came from? I found it in LOA 4 and really like it and am curious to know if it shows up later as a study song or is used in any other context. It gives me a good reason to use a Bb harmonica and to hear a quick change.

This jam track comes from the same series by Peter Schmidt that you've been using so far in your other study songs (I contracted with him to use his Ultimate Jam Track series http://www.ultijamtracks.com for this site). You'll use this jam track for Bending Study 5 "Half Steppin'" and Tongue Blocking Study 4 "The Split", as well as a lot of Improvising Studies down the road.

P.S., I've also used one of Jimi Lee's jam tracks in the past, for "Take It Easy Now" and this comes from his Groovetrax 2xCD (http://jimileeband.com/jam_tracks/).
