feeble! Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Hey, does anyone else out there just jam with their friends but not play as a band?I've started to do this recently and it's fun to the max! Just a couple of people and guitars and we made some insane bluesy riffs and stuff, like two weeks ago I played my guitar for about half an hour a week - now I can't put the damn thing down! It gives you a real drive to get better so that you can play something cooler the next time a jam session goes on, so anyone who's just been sitting in their house playing on their own or with backing cd's check out all of your friends and see if they want to organise a jam - it's fun + gives you something to do + could end up giving you something that sounds entirely great!

Dayeth Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 I used to jam every week with my mate but we don't do it so much, it was a lot of fun though, we used to have some amazing blues jams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Sometime's its good, sometimes you get the same old shit no matter what you do. It's worth recording it on tape/MD if you can and picking the best bits later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryn Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 jamming is even better after a spliff, or, is it just u think its better..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Jamming even in a band or several bands can really make you a better player. I feel my playing has improved loads since joining E106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feeble! Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Yeah, me too - I've been practicing a lot, just so I can pull out a killer lick and kick someones ass with it. Tres amusant, tres amusant. I also recroded some 12 bar blues on my mp3 and put that through some teravel speakers and practice with myself to get even better. I'm workin on speed just npw though, I got an excercsie/lick type thiong off the net and I've been playing that every now and again, I sdtill can't get it to go super fast, or even that fast at all without screwing up - it's my right arm though, I can't alternate pick without hitting other sterings. Is it all that essential? Bugger if I know. Also I found out how to make my guitar scream and squeal - it'as all in how you hold the pick I telks ya!

Tav Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I like Jamming other guitarist in the band as it seems to bring more ideas forward with two people working on it. I've never really ever jammed with people out with the band before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryn Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 me and the bassist from my band don't jam with guitars as much at the moment, he's got all these wierd african instruments and didjerydoos (spellin prob wrong i know) , dejmbes and things which are fun, also, harmonicas and acoustic guitars - killer combination!

Jimmygoodein Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 me and the drummer for my band enjoy a good drum and bass jam. we spend ages just going through some funky stuffis. We also jammed with steely glint, 2 drummers, guitar and bass last week, That was good some serious blues was going down there (While chris and ted from the sensational alex harvey band watched us, he he) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmygoodein Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 I spoke to you afterwards scott (i think), i would have been the small person, and said you were great or something. i dont recall buying a cd, were you selling them there? I think the crowd were just happy when the djs played some RAGE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
