Jam Session 104l with Am G D (Piano, Guitar)



Here are some show/lesson/jam session notes for Jam Session 104l:
  • A lot of the (electric-)acoustic sounds from these jam sessions are from an electric guitar going through an acoustic simulator effect.  This is sort of effect can be found in standalone stompboxes, multi-effects pedals, and software plug-ins.
  • The chord progression is Am G D.
  

Those chords work well underneath melodies, lead-lines, and other improvisations in the G major scale:




However, we are really in A, since Am leads off the progression.  We might want to use the A Dorian mode instead (even though it has the same notes as G major):
