- Jam Etiquette | Bluegrassbasics
Jam Etiquette While every jam is slightly different, there tend to be some common threads that run through them. Following a few basic guidelines can help you seamlessly join the next jam that you visit. Be observant!

This is especially true: During instrumental breaks While a vocalist is singing Have fun and don't worry about perfection. You are your harshest critic!
