When you jam with other musicians, what riffs/grooves do you pull out?
Apart from improv, I usually have fun with;
Herbie Hancock - Chameleon
Jamiroquai - Mr Moon, High Times, Too Young to Die
Sugarhill Gang - Rappers Delight
Incubus - Battlestar Scralatchtica
Kool & The Gang - Jungle Boogie
Earth, Wind & Fire - Brick House
And others... |

If I've heard the tune before, I am fine with it.
Never under-estimate a well-honed ear for playing. It saved my a$$ many times over. |

YYZ - Rush
Funny, I never played that song with a band, ever....

And, when "jamming", I play whatever I hear. |
