Jam Session 105k with E F#m A B (Guitar, Drums)




Here are some show/lesson/jam session notes for Jam Session 105k:
  • Jon and Ryan laugh a lot at the beginning, trying to say the following chord progression:
    E                     F#m                  A 
e |-0-------------------|-2------------------|-0-------------------|
B |-0-------------------|-2------------------|-2-------------------|
G |-1-------------------|-2------------------|-2-------------------|
D |-2-------------------|-4------------------|-2-------------------|
A |-2-------------------|-4------------------|-0-------------------|
E |-0-------------------|-2------------------|---------------------|

    B
e |-2-------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
B |-4-------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
G |-4-------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
D |-4-------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
A |-2-------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
E |---------------------|--------------------|---------------------|

If you don't know how to read guitar tab (as computer text), this section of a Wikipedia article may help.
  • Jon plays guitar.
  • Ryan uses a MIDI controller keyboard to trigger various sequenced patterns and fills with Digidesign Strike.
  • Strike is an RTAS virtual instrument, and can only be used with Digidesign Pro Tools digital audio workstation software.
  • Pro Tools (HD, LE, or M-Powered) requires additional hardware to run.
  • This is more of a good thing because a default personal computer sound card usually sucks (poor quality, contains no 1/4" inputs, and definitely no XLR inputs).
