Bluegrass Jams

Remember not to hog the jam by playing original songs or complicated chord changes and such... jams are social and fun and too much "showing off" only makes sour fun...

If you forget the words to songs... try making a cheat sheet that has just the first few words of each verse...you can print it big and large and see it even on the floor..... usually that's plenty to get you started! I know it works great for me!

Jamming is a great way for beginning and intermediate musicians to learn better how to play with others. If you’re just learning to play, don’t be afraid to grab your instrument and make your way to the local jam clubs, and try your hand at playing. Don’t worry about making mistakes, or sounding weird, bad, etc., just get in there and play. Make sure to ask a lot of questions of those who are better players. Most jammers love to help others learn, and they rarely ever forget that there was a time when they couldn’t play all that well. Check out this website to find jams in your neck of the woods.
