Thanks to everyone that took time out of their schedule to come to the workshop Saturday. As promised, here are the chords/scales/etc. for the upcoming jam session.

A few items to remember...

1 - the date / time of the jam session will be announced soon. Until then, use this time to practice.
2 - listen to the song, start using your ear to guide you with regard to rhythm and lead. If you know the song inside and out, learning to play it will be much easier.
3 - Don't forget, if you need help with any of the chords or scales, talk to your instructor at your next lesson.
