Gigger Level Lessons: a little applied knowledge.

Gigger Level 2.  The concept for lessons in this level is to take it a step beyond our Jammer Level (max doing, minimal thinking) and start to actually know some musical stuff, starting with the simplest 3 chord songs (which, are the core of ~90% of ALL music!!!… even Classical!).  Called “Gigger” Level simply because you will begin to be ready to do actual gigs, and be hip to the bandstand lingo and knowledge needed to navigate a real gig playing with real fellow musicians!
