Easy Level
If you can play your open A and D, and the notes in between, you can play along with this video.
Easy-Intermediate
Still just in first position- just a couple more notes!
Jam Along (Intermediate-Advanced)
More notes and the option to player after Chris, OR just make up your own response. Try notes in D dorian (C major starting from D) or D mixolydian (G major starting from D) as a starting point.
Backing Track
Just play- no examples or instructions.
