Chords: What To Play When You Don't Know What To Play

August 22, 2011

I'm pleased!  Fiddlesessions.com, a blog run by the music instructional publisher Mel Bay, has posted an article I wrote.  "Chords: What To Play When You Don't Know What To Play" is part 1 of a 3 part series about how to accompany other musicians during jams or band situations when you are not soloing.

I hope you'll check it out, and perhaps leave a comment if you've got something to say about it. (Ideally the comment will be about the content of the article, not my dorky author photo, but do what you gotta.)

Here I am, probably playing accompaniment chords, while jamming on klezmer tunes with Kristin Allen Zito, Jenna Bean Veatch, and others not shown. Maria Sonevytsky took this picture last week at Puget Sound Guitar Workshop. Have you ever been to music camp?
