i was just wondering how often other people jam, if they have constant people they jam with, how often and their preferences.
for me i jam with the same guitarist every week during school and for the past two weeks the same two drummers. we usually start off with a Zeppelin riff then extend upon that but we sometimes just do straight improv blues jams.
you?

| | | | My brother and I(him on guitar me on bass) tend to jam 2-3 times a week with 2 different drummers and sometimes an extra guitar, harmonica, or cello player. We don't really build off any songs, I just lay somethin' down and people tend to fill it in. Fun stuff. |

As the bass player, I played with a lot of different guitar players and drummers. It was a great experience, and my playing improved considerably from the experience. |

My band does the same and since we are a jam band, its really beneficial for us for not only writing new material, but for working on communication, transitioning, and jamming skill.

It's great afterwards if the rest of the band ask you to play a certain part again, jam it more and then turn it into a song. Perfection.
Les has a way with words, lol.
