Every get to an Ukulele jam, you start playing a song with friends and you are having a great time, but everyone is playing the same thing? Then you say, "Hey, let's play different pieces that a harmonically cohesive." That gets the group fired up, "Yeah! We are going to sound so awesome.... so, where do we start?" Then... the dreaded music theory silence falls over the crowd like an evening of lake effect snow deep into a cold January night along the northern shores of lake Michigan...   

Don't worry though! The sun is coming through! I got you! The word you are looking for is polyphony and today we are going to break down 5 different strategies that you can use to play along with friends without playing the exact same thing.

Fantastic! This is so cool. Thanks Tyler...now, where did I put my Looper? 🤩

Tyler Austenfeld

Great question. I use to do that with my looper at all the time, I'd see how many layers I could stack without it sounding like a bunch of people talking at the same time haha. I could get up to 6 and 7 pretty easily but it gets tricky after that haha.
