Description

Using e-learning students are taught to play guitar, bass, keyboard, and drums. Levels are grouped into 10 lessons. The tenth lesson for each level has a song(s) which demonstrate the skills learned in that level. The first three levels take beginners through to intermediate level of competency (Gigajam Level 3) and are suitable for the preparation of GCSE studies at Key Stage 4

The play-along files are designed to work with Gigajam's highly interactive Xtractor software. This allows students to adjust the tempo of the exercises, cycle sections to practice and also adjust the settings on the full-band backing tracks.
