Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Jammin' Me - Cover - Noir Series

You're Jammin' Me! This song was the first single from Let Me Up (I've Had Enough), the 1987 album by TPATH. It was co-written by Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Mike Campbell. This opening song starts an ongoing theme throughout the album of people "who are reeling from media assaults and shattered relationships," but have a strong desire to survive in order to make sense of the world. Some of the lyrics came from Dylan and Petty picking words out of a newspaper and off the television. For me, it's just a fun Rock tune. These videos serve as lessons on how I play this bunch of Pop, Rock, and Reggae songs - sometimes as a single guitarist playing the only guitar part, though that's rare. And sometimes if there is more than one guitar part, then trying to find the single good path through the tune. I complete one pass, demonstrating different Rhythm parts, styles, and techniques. There is no talking. No discussion. No note-for-note explanations. As such, for clarity, my guitar is supposed to be louder in the mix than it would ever be in a live setting. But, if you really want to hear what I hear, do what I do and put on a good pair headphones with great bass response! It's worth it. Why this is important to Rhythm Guitar: It's the double stops. While there are lots of chord changes in the tune, you really focus on simply two notes in the chord. The suspension resolving to the third. It just does that over and over and over. But, really it's just a super fun tune to play. #echohead #rhythmguitar #powerpop #tompettyjammingmeguitar
