What is in a Lesson

In each Lesson, the instructors take you through an Easier and an Advanced break, and some back-up.

At the Learning Tempo in the audio files, just the breaks are played; there are versions with and without your instrument, and a version with your instrument all by itself with a metronome click.

The Slow Jam Tempo is a short version of the tune or song with both breaks, and either singing or other breaks for you to back up; there are versions with and without your instrument.

The Performance Tempo is a full-length version with breaks from all the other instruments and all the singing where applicable. There are versions with and without your instrument and in a few cases there are extra mixes showing backup in detail.

Please note that some slower tunes or songs only have two different tempos.

In the videos the breaks are played at the slowest - Learning - tempo (except the bass, which is at the Slow Jam Tempo).

Where there are vocal mixes, all the parts are available both together and separately in all possible combinations including no vocals at all.
