Jam Track - Forked Deer

Instead of our regular Jam Track format (which are recorded each week by Brad Davis), we are going to give Brad a break and reach back to offer a segment from a four volume video jam series that Brad produced years ago for Flatpicking Guitar Magazine. Here you will find the tune “Forked Deer” played at 4 different tempos. Each time Brad plays a lead, so you can practice rhythm, and then he plays rhythm so you can practice your lead solo. Enjoy jamming to “Forked Deer” in the key of D!
