Easy. Simple. Fun.
Maybe I should think about the LAM differently. Instead of just providing the first 3 lessons of each section (which does not provide material for intermediate players) I treat it as a section to showcase the site and how to use it.
So basically the way I have been using it lately. Showing how to use it to practice scales and arpeggios, chords and strum patterns with jam tracks.
The LAM needs to be ready for sending the past people that tried to join and never received anything from me.
I will be sending them to the LAM so I would really like it to be fun and them get something from it.
It will need a video that shows how to make the most of the LAM. Using Jam tracks (these should possibly connect to the Riffs) to practice scales, arpeggios, chords and strum patterns.
This needs to appeal to more than just beginners. Need to give thought to that.
Also I would like the various scales and technique exercises to be demonstrated with different jam tracks. Same thing with chords, I think maybe using some triads on strings 1 2 3 and showing how they could be used with different strum patterns and different jam tracks and transposing to different keys.
Here is what I am thinking for being part of the LAM to make it fun:
- Inversions of triads Dm and Am - Chord Lesson 7 has Dm
- Am one chord jam
- One note jam
- Scale - C Major in 2nd and then reinforced in 7th position F Major Scale Lesson 10
Basically need to have a handful of lessons at varies levels (So maybe lesson 1,2,3 and then maybe 6, 7 and then possibly something later 13,14) I just want them all to connect in some way. This is doable. Just need to think about it a bit.
People will want to learn songs or riffs so it is probably important the above lessons tie into some songs and riffs.

LAM Member Stats
2017 - Current
125 Since 2017 (Currently 118 as of Oct. 23, 2025)
Most of these people that gave their name and email never got logged in or if they did only once. So either they had trouble getting in or what they saw was not impressive. Plus they didn't get anything from me which was too bad. Dropped the ball. It's ok, I am learning from it.
Ok I'm not sure if the above statements are true. I have been finding LAM members who did get plenty of email.
They got (I believe this was all automated):
- Welcome New Member - was a bit of a silly email saying welcome and then to pick a lesson on week 1 and then pick anther lesson on week 2 and be sure to review the lesson from week 1.
- Week 2 Member - practice tips on breaking things down and mention of upcoming live stream
- Week 3 Member - doesn't have much in it other than a hope you are doing well and a button with Log In for week 3 material (as far as I know, I wasn't using drip content)
- Week 4 Member - thank you and let people know the LAM is forever
One example is a LAM who joined May 2017 and they got 5 emails in May, 2 in June, 1 in July, 1 in Aug, 1 in Oct and 1 in Nov. He didn't open any nor did he ever get logged in.
