Hi there! Is Jam Tracks IV considered a beginner type set? And does it come with a chord chart?
Thank you in advance.

I assume youâre referencing this one: âJam Blues Vol. IV: Guitarâ.
Iâm not a 100% sure, but I donât think it comes with chord charts. For Jam Blues Vol. I & II there are Deluxe Editions, and those come with a few extras:
- High Bitrate Mp3 versions (for better audio quality)
- A chord chart for each backing track, so that you can read through the changes while you play.
- Hints and tips to give you advice on style and approach for each track.
- A selection of chord voicings and some suggested rhythm parts that you can work on over these tracks.
So âStandardâ editions will probably just have the backing tracks. I own âJam Major Vol. I: Guitarâ and it only has the MP3 tracks.
Looking at the track listing of Jam Blues Vol. IV: Guitar, I would think theyâre suitable for beginners who know the basic 12-bar Blues progression. All the tracks are in the key of A or E, so most of the chords will be A-D-E and E-A-B respectively, plus a few variations such as chromatic run-ups and turnarounds. Itâd be nice if someone could confirm this though.
