\uffe5Interactive Video Jam Session with a Top TrueFire Artist<\/strong><\/i>
In Adam Levy\u2019s Folk Jazz edition of Trading Solos, you\u2019ll trade solos with Adam over five frequently encountered folk-jazz grooves, in a variety of keys and feels including a half-time shuffle in Db, a 12-bar progression in 6\/8 in the key of A, a laid-back 4\/4 feel in the key of A major, an upbeat country groove in the key of E major, and a mid-tempo ballad in the key of E.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cFolk jazz melds jazz influences with other elemental American styles \u2013 spanning blues, R&B, singer-songwriter, country, and folk. Trading solos with other players and comping for each other is a great way to expand your vocabulary and keep growing as a musician.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For each of the five folk-jazz jam tracks, Adam will show you a handful of licks and rhythm approaches that you can use over the tracks as you trade solos with Adam. Then, you\u2019ll take turns applying those ideas, trading solos and comping for each other.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Track 1: Night Music<\/strong>
\u201c\u2018Night Music\u2019 is a half-time shuffle in Db and is a nod to the music of guitarist Julian Lage. Most of the chords are native to the key and they change in predictable places. This simplicity gives us a lot of room to play creatively in our rhythm and in our solos.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Track 2: Ubiquity<\/strong>
\u201cInspired by the music of guitarist Bill Frisell, \u2018Ubiquity\u2019 is a 12-bar progression in 6\/8. It\u2019s in the key of A, though it ambles through some dusky harmonies before finally arriving at the home-base chord. Some of the chords here are inversions \u2013 with the 3rd or 5th in the bass, rather than the root.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Track 3: Gown & Gentry<\/strong>
\u201c\u2018Gown & Gentry\u2019 is in the key of A major. The 4\/4 feel here is laid back, with a \u201cStand by Me\u201d sort of vibe that\u2019s really fun to jam over.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Track 4: Inflecktion<\/strong>
\u201cInspired by the music of banjo master Bela Fleck, \u2018Inflecktion\u2019 is an upbeat country groove in the key of E major. The cadence here is unusual \u2013 interspersing 3-measure phrases among the more common 2- and 4-measure phrases. Once you familiarize yourself with these subtle twists, it\u2019s a fun challenge to play rhythm or solo over.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Track 5: Tickety Boo<\/strong>
\u201c\u2018Tickety Boo\u2019 is a mid-tempo ballad inspired by the music guitarist Mark Knopfler. It\u2019s in the key of E, though it has a few non-diatonic chords \u2013 like G#7 and Am6 \u2013 that give the progression more emotional leverage. The bass and drums are sparse, with a wide-open feel that leaves us lots of room to play.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adam will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You\u2019ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the key examples and performances. Plus, you\u2019ll be able to use TrueFire\u2019s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video and can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.<\/p>\n
