Suggestion Box? I have an idea to improve the jam station.

I've only been on here a couple of months and have really enjoyed the site and the lessons so far.

I've completed Beginner 1 & 2 and have moved on to the Blues 1 & 2 with Anders. Awesome.. just awesome, I'm learning so much.

I have one gripe about the Jam Station though.. It would be so much better if when you pushed play you got a measure of 'stick clicks' to mark time before it just springs the backing track on you.

I find myself with so many solo ideas I want to play and wind up having to wait a full turn around to come in because the music just "leaves without me" when I press play.

Anyway, its just a minor annoyance that I think could be easily fixed. And yes I'm nit-picking here because on the whole I'd rate this website 10/10.

Also, while we're on the topic, is there anyway to download Jam Tracks to .mp3 for those times when I'm stuck without internet. (Camping trips come to mind) and it would be sweet to have some of those tracks on mp3 to play along with on the old acoustic (or electric with something like the VOX Mini 3).

Thanks,

diffinately a good Idea..

Agreed. I don't know how many times I've had to wait until the backing track started over because I couldn't get into the rhythm the first time.

Hi Adam,

Good suggestion, thank you. The problem with adding the clicks at the beginning is the tracks need to loop when you jam along and the clicks would be there every time. It sounds like that might be welcomed by some?

There isn't a way to download the tracks but we're working on a solution for this now.

Personally I like it the way it is. It's a jam track that will loop for eternity, so I don't worry too much about being able to jump in right at the start.

Thanks for the suggestions. The mp3 feature is coming soon.

We're kind of torn about the click intro, for reasons Neal explained.
