Improvisation -Another idea behind writing the First Jam series was to provide a number of tunes that were easy to learn, but that are also a great to begin working on improvising. Each book in the series offers the melody for that particular instrument as well as back-up chords for another instrument to accompany you. Each song is represented in Tab, notation and chord symbols. The accompanying online audio has two tracks for each song. The first playing the song with the melody line, the second track offers just the backup so you can play the melody over it or even improvise. Tunes include: Cripple Creek, Old Joe Clark, Will the Circle Be Unbroken and many more. Includes access to online audio.

Lee "Drew" Andrews began playing guitar at age 14. His first years of college were spent studying Physics. When he found himself skipping many of his core classes in order to spend more time playing guitar, he decided it may be better to change majors. Drew studied Guitar Performance at Utah State University with Mike Christiansen, where he also minored in Technical and Professional Writing. From 2002 until 2011 he was a music editor at Mel Bay Publications. Each year there he learned a new stringed instrument to better perform his job. Drew has gigged extensively not only on guitar but also on mandolin, ukulele, and bass.
