    Default Thinking of going to a jam night tonight - but literally nothing prepared

    I'm ashamed to say there is pretty much nothing I can sing/play all the way through that's suitable for a blues jam, and I've got work to do before (if) I go in any case.

    I think I'll leave the guitar at home this time, and work on having one or two songs reasonably comfortably learnt for next time. Much as I'd be content to plonk away semi-inaudibly in the background over any given 12 bar, I'd feel a bit of a cop-out.
    Whosoever steppeth upon a distortion pedal in my sight shall make a sound that is unclean.

    Just ask them what key it's in and give some Neil-style bizarreness.

    And remember, attitude is everything:

    I've not been to a jam night, but when it comes to the end of a night in my band this is the only rule

    When I run jam nights I try to persuade people who haven't bought an instrument to borrow mine and have a go anyway. I hope you played in the end!

    Observe, play, learn. The more you do that, the better it gets. Have fun!
