BEST JAM SESSION SONGS HOW TO
So here’s a few tips on how to get started for your first jam session.ġ) Choose players with the same ability level as yourself. Nobody ever gave me any tips on how to go about playing with other people. I hope your first jamming experience gives you the feeling I experienced with my first “band”. Then we could get gigs and girls, then a record deal, then fame and fortune. That would make our recording sound better. It would just take them a week or two to get as good as us if they practiced harder. After all we had only been playing for a month or so anyway. They didn’t have to know how to play it, just own it. “Wait!” we said “we needed somebody who owns a bass”. We would play it time after time, and again and again until our parents could no longer stand it. It sounded so good (to us) that we had to tape it at the next jam.
The vibrations from the rattle of the 2nd hand drum set and the cheap dirty feeding back guitar parted the hair on our heads and rattled our little brains. We were making noise and doing it together. We only knew a couple songs in common and neither of us actually knew the entire songs. In fact I had never even taken a lesson and he only had only learned a little bit in school. Neither of us was that good at our instrument. I still remember the feeling I had the first few times I ever jammed with my friend who was a drummer.
