The First Jam series was created to give children and beginners of all ages a book of simple, common tunes to learn. These are standard Jam tunes in the Bluegrass/Old Time music styles. All the books in this series are written in the same key; they can all be played together without any problems. So, get your friends or family who play guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, dulcimer, or Dobro together, grab these books, and start jamming.
Improvisation - Another idea behind writing the First Jam series was to provide tunes that were easy to learn, but that are also great to begin working on improvising. Each book offers the melody for that instrument and backup chords for another instrument to accompany you. Each song is represented in Tab, notation, and chord symbols. The accompanying online audio has two tracks for each song. The first track plays the melody line, and the second track offers just the backup so you can play the melody over it or improvise. Tunes include Cripple Creek, Old Joe Clark, Will the Circle Be Unbroken and many more.
