- Jam Etiquette | Bluegrassbasics
Jam Etiquette While every jam is slightly different, there tend to be some common threads that run through them. Following a few basic guidelines can help you seamlessly join the next jam that you visit. Be observant! There are a lot of unspoken customs that include: How songs are selected Types of songs selected Who leads each selection How instrumental "breaks" are determined It's okay to ask if you're not picking it up. Be in tune! Tune to a standard A=440. Being in tune with the group is extremely important. Re-check often - especially when using a capo. Investing in an electronic, clip-on tuner is a life-saver. (They've become very affordable) Click here for a page on tuners! Be prepared to pick a song - or two! If you don't feel comfortable singing it or leading it, you can always ask if someone else can. Pick another in case your first choice gets selected by someone else. It's always okay to pass, but people want to play what you know so do try to think of one. Avoid "Jam Busters" These are songs that don't fit the genre, are very complex, or aren't prepared to be performed at a typical tempo. Choose a song that follows a predictable structure. Few chord changes are best. Common keys like G, C, A, and D If it's an instrumental piece, a simple version - played at a more typical tempo - is a much better choice than a "fancy" version that needs to be slowed down too much. It's not an Open Mic People gather at jams to play together. That's what makes them so special. Play so others can hear themselves. This is especially true: During instrumental breaks While a vocalist is singing Have fun and don't worry about perfection. You are your harshest critic!

Instrument Tuners Being in tune with everyone else in the jam session is of the utmost importance! Checking your tuning often is essential as environmental changes like heat and humidity can change your tuning over the course of a jam session as well as putting on and taking off a capo. There are a wide variety of tuners available. As a multi-instrumentalist, the D'Addario Micro Tuners are appealing because they are small and discreet while providing a consistent tuning experience across instruments. They also tune using the vibrations of the instrument so a noisey jam session doesn't interfere with tuning. D'Addario Micro Guitar Tuner - For attaching to the headstock of various instruments - not just guitar. D'Addario Micro Soundhole Tuner - For attaching inside the soundhole of most guitars. D'Addario Micro Banjo Tuner - For attaching under the brackets of the banjo pot. D'Addario Violin/Viola Micro Tuner - For attaching to the body of a fiddle. D'Addario Eclipse Tuner - Great for multi-angles, especially on a dobro. Snark Super Tight Tuner - Another great option for a variety of instruments.
