Each jam track is a complete lesson
Each IFR jam track is actually a complete lesson in harmony and improvisation. Each jam track builds on concepts you learned in earlier jam tracks, and each track is accompanied by illustrations, teaching notes and practice tips. IFR Jam Tracks are the natural complement to the book Improvise for Real, allowing you to practice your skills in real world musical situations.
In IFR Jam Tracks Level 2: Pure Harmony Essentials, you’ll be mastering the four most important chords in contemporary popular music. IFR students know these as the 1 chord, the 4 chord, the 5 chord and the 6 chord. And more than just mastering these chord concepts, you’ll be learning about much more fundamental ideas like tension and release, suspension, mood and storytelling.
