Jam Session 103i with D Dmaj7 A G

Here are some show/lesson/jam session notes for Jam Session 103i:

• This is another guitar and bass combo.  Check out our Chord du Jour Backtracks, which usually feature a full band (guitar, bass, drums, etc).
  
• This is a fast waltz number (6/8) - one two three, FOUR two three... would be the count.
• Ryan plays a Jazz Bass.
  

Here are some of the chords used (and then some?):
