I've been working on Jamming video and have the rolls down no problem when taking a break.

I'm feeling like it makes sense to me but not the others in the jam. I'm singing the chorus in my head while playing the rolls and chords and I think it's fine (for now). But I kind of get this feeling it's not making as much sense to the others.

I find myself trying to play the melody my own way within each chord (both closed and open chords).

Curious how others are doing and if this makes any sense?

Direct from Murphy's Blog: Now, the whole point of the Kickstart Your Jamming DVD is to take one roll (the forward/backward roll) and use it to play a bunch of three-chord songs. This becomes the foundation for future improvising. In the beginning, however, these songs all sound pretty much alike. There is no melody. The only melody you hear will be in your head.
