Hello friends. This week, I'm going to offer up a pretty sweet set of JamTracks for you to work on your lead playing. No long story, no diatribe about why you should learn a certain skill or technique.. just an awesome set of tracks to help you develop your lead playing.

For me, this is one of my favorite parts of a full JamPlay membership.. over 700 of these tracks in just about every genre, skill set, or key for you to work on your playing and feel. Being able to improvise over tracks such as these always gives me a sense of where I'm at with my playing. It gives me insight into how comfortable I am in any given key, how my sense of timing is coming together, and helps me focus on targeting notes in the progression instead of noodling like a noob. But enough, let's play. Here they are.
