I joined jammr few days ago looking for learning music. In my little expirience here I noticed that all musicians are too advance for my skills so I cannot join weekly jams yet but there is a lot of patience with good advices for beginners. Hope to learn from you to join one day to jams. I like ukulele, recorder, guitar, drums and piano. May be a begginer topic would be helpful on forum.

Welcome adi!

We have already jammed several times but I just wanted to say I look forward to hearing you play more once you feel ready.

I need a little help. I made a loop in musescore in order to make some practice for solo. I tried to join chords and drums at the same time in this way. The chords progression is C G Am F. I do not realize what notes to play for solo, is it only picking the cord on individual notes or I can play extra notes? If someone can suggest me some chords progression and solos please attach a simple score of an example of jam. Musescore cannot make loops but one can substitute with repetitions

The notes in the current chord always sound “right”. Major and Minor chords are triads so that means 3 notes to choose from that belong to the chord.

But there are more notes you can play. The chord progression you posted is in C Major, so you can try using the full C Major scale:

Some notes in the C Major scale don't sound as satisfying as others across particular chords in the progression. They are called non-chord tones:

Playing only chord tones limits melodies. It is more interesting to mix in non-chord tones too. Sometimes they are called “passing notes” because you play them as part of a movement to the next chord tone without staying on them for too long.

An easy scale for improvization is the Pentatonic scale:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentatonic_scale

It only has 5 notes instead of 7 (like the Major scale) and sounds fine with all chords in the key. It's a popular scale because it is easy to play melodies that sound good. There are a lot of YouTube videos about Pentatonic scales.

By the way, this is the extent of my knowledge so please explore the links or YouTube. I probably can't answer deeper questions because my music theory is basic. I solo using a pentatonic scale and sometimes I use the full major scale if I'm feeling more brave .
