Below is a brief list of general jam tips & etiquette; for a more complete list check out this page on DrBanjo.com.

In General...

  • Be in tune
  • Be on the right chord
  • Keep the rhythm
  • Sing on the chorus (yes, we know you think you can’t sing, but we don’t believe you)
  • Have fun

Song Leading

  • The song leader will sing the lead (the verses)
  • The song leader chooses the key he or she is comfortable with (generally G or A, D or C)

Solo Breaks

  • Everyone is encouraged to try a solo break
  • Try to grab the melody, if not, just roll (or pluck) through the chords
  • When others are taking a break, keep the rhythm going but adjust your volume so the break can be heard

Things to bring to the Jam

  • Song books
  • Tuner
  • Folding music stand
