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! There are a lot of unspoken customs that include: How songs are selected Types of songs selected Who leads each selection How instrumental "breaks" are determined It's okay to ask if you're not picking it up. Be in tune! Tune to a standard A=440. Being in tune with the group is extremely important. Re-check often - especially when using a capo. Investing in an electronic, clip-on tuner is a life-saver.

Pick another in case your first choice gets selected by someone else. It's always okay to pass, but people want to play what you know so do try to think of one. Avoid "Jam Busters" These are songs that don't fit the genre, are very complex, or aren't prepared to be performed at a typical tempo. Choose a song that follows a predictable structure. Few chord changes are best. Common keys like G, C, A, and D If it's an instrumental piece, a simple version - played at a more typical tempo - is a much better choice than a "fancy" version that needs to be slowed down too much. It's not an Open Mic People gather at jams to play together. That's what makes them so special. Play so others can hear themselves. 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!
