Jamming

Learning music has been fun, but I have mostly played by myself for the last few months. I would love to be able to play with other people but have been pretty intimidated about playing with other musicians because I feel like the novice I am.

At a party recently I was talking to a friend (who is a guitar player also) about learning guitar and he mentioned a book that he likes called "The Garage Band Method: How the Rest of Us Can Learn to Play ... Really Play" that promotes the notion that playing with others is the best way to learn (like people have been learning for ever!!). He suggested that we get together at another friends house and play.


My first Jam session

It ended up that we had 2 guitars and a fiddle plus the occasional ukeulele. Although they kept it simple (to accomodate my beginer status) it was a blast, I learned alot (most notably that learning 12 bar blues will get me a long way in Jam sessions) but most importantly it was amazingly fun and I am a little more confident about my playing. I can't wait to do it again!

A 2nd photo because Landon and his fiddle were the star of the show!
