For improvisation on this tune let's start by practicing an E dorian scale

E F# G A B C# D E

learn this up and down your instrument as high and low as you know how to play.

Next week we will try some call and response improvisation over the intro vamp in your music.


Help needed

We have 3 more jams until the end of the year. Time flies. We've been doing this for over 7 years and may be getting close to the end. At this point we aren't scheduling any more jams and are looking for new leadership and volunteers. Hopefully that works out and the jam continues. In the meantime, check the schedule page to see who's playing and join us while you can!
