Jam Session Rewind: 212o -- The Closing Track

So next week, I hope we'll have something new...and different!  Fingers crossed...

Jam Session Serving Suggestions:  You can breathe life to a straightforward chord progression (all majors and minors) by embellishing the chords - suspended 2nds and 4ths, 7ths, major-7ths, minor 7ths, 9ths, etc - like how Ryan used suspended 4ths for the above jam session.

Jam Session Serving Suggestions:  When you're jamming along to our Jam Sessions, be sure to find other people (one or more) with whom to jam!  There is a sort of synergy of learning (in a satisfying, edifying sense) for you and your jamming partner(s).  Heck, if it goes really great, you all can form a band.
