Don't you just love a good jam session?

While I haven't used Ninjam (though I'm very intrigued now that I'm checking it out), jamming is one of the most fun parts of being a musician to me. Though you sacrifice the rush from a live audience, you have so much more freedom and the atmosphere is so much lighter and jovial, at least compared to the shows I've played.

Genuinely one of the things I think my life is worth living for.

 

Funny you posted this yesterday. My wife and I went to get something to eat last night and discovered that Tuesday nights at J. Gilligans are acoustic celtic music jam night. About ten or twelve feet from our table were two fiddlers, a guitarist, two bodhran player, a guy with a concretina, a mandolinist, and a guy who played a tenor banjo with a flatpick.

I'd never seen anyone play a banjo with a pick before. It was ... odd.

But they sounded great. I may have to brush up on my celtic music and go sit in.

 

I hate a good jam session
