TXBA Community Jam

Overview

Update - I have removed the deadline for submissions, so people can submit when they feel ready. If and when I get enough submissions to create a good compilation, I’ll close the form.

I’m putting together a compilation of my members and customers playing “Little Wing”. Each person can submit a rhythm video, and a lead video (the rhythm video is required, the lead video is optional). Each video can be up to two choruses long. I will select the best parts from each video, and cut together a compilation.

I am looking to highlight players who have studied the chord options presented in Section 3, the chord embellishments presented in Sections 4 & 6, and the soloing path concepts taught in Section 5.

Players who demonstrate that they have learned the alternate chord forms, and learned to solo in places outside of Box 1 will be given preference. I am not looking for 30 or 40 players who are playing the same 3 or 4 chords, and playing the same licks in the same place on the fretboard. I am looking for variety because that was the purpose of the course.

Eligibility

  • Anyone can submit videos.
  • TBXA Locals Members get first preference.
  • Customers who purchased the course get second preference.
  • Other submissions will be used if there's still space.

Join The Locals

Joining the TXBA Locals to study this course is the least expensive way to ensure you'll be included. You will have all the tools you need to dig into this course and learn as fast as possible.

Buy The Course

For a limited time, you can save 20% when you purchase this course.

If you're ready to put in a LOT of work in the next 30 days, you can buy the course and start studying immediately. It's a large course, so you've got your work cut out for you.

Instructions

  1. Download the supplied backing track.
  2. Study the course, practice like hell.
  3. Record your best two choruses of rhythm and lead with the backing track playing through your headphones, so that the video only has the sound of your guitar.
  4. Upload your videos to Google Drive, Dropbox, or an unlisted YouTube video.
  5. Use the Submissions form on this page to submit the links to your videos.
Backing Track

This is a Little Wing backing track styled after Stevie Ray Vaughan's recording of the song. It has a laid-back 58bpm tempo. You will need to tune to E-Flat to play along. (I opted for this slower track than the faster Hendrix-style track because it is easier for more people to keep up with).

Submission Deadline

This is a challenging song to play, so I'm leaving submissions open until I get enough to put together a compelling compilation. That may take weeks, or months. It all depends on how many people choose to submit videos.

Submission Guidelines

  • You may submit one rhythm, and one lead video
  • Each video may be up to two choruses in length.
  • Record your video with the light in FRONT of you.
  • Do not record with lights (or windows) behind you.
  • Play the backing track through headphones.
  • Your video should contain ONLY guitar.
  • Your video links should be public or unlisted (I can't access videos that are private.)
