Beginnings
The new year is a great time to pick up new habits, such as jamming! This Jan. 6th episode of Radio Jam features several 2-chord and 3-chord songs, and songs with repeating chord patterns that are easy to learn. Songs of freedom and the eternal struggle for democracy are also included to pay homage to the third anniversary of the 2021 Insurrection and the upcoming MLK Day celebration.
