Description

As anyone knows who is a beginning jammer, or who has the un-enviable task of leading less experienced jams, the Kickoff is where the rubber meets the road. Songs either launch or crash in the first few measures, and a knowledge of how to start a song is critical to being a skilled jam participant (as well as sounding way better!).

In this in depth overview of the art of Kickoffs, we cover everything from counting to lead in Licks, from “potatoes” to the shuffle, and provide lots of play-along examples to practice along to. You’ll never look at starting a song the same after this lesson, so begin your journey to the next jamming level today!
