MOST COMMON JAM RULES !
JAM RULES
Rule 1. Have fun. Drummer, Bass, Guitar always on stage so that everyone has a backing band.
Rule 2. It's OK to make mistakes, experiment, screw up. It's a JAM.
Rule 3. Everyone is welcome at the JAM. Beginners and Professionals
Rule 4. Everyone should get a chance to solo - Don't step on someone else's solo.
Rule 5. SIGN IN !! if you want to play. The amount of people signed up at any given time determines the playing time you get.
Rule 6. Don't play loud. Respect other fellow musicians.
Rule 7. Learn to "Bring it Down". If you can't here the soloist, TURN DOWN ! Don't expect him to turn up. Sound levels have been adjusted by the host so that patrons ears aren't blown off.
Rule 8. Call the song. If you are going decide which song to play next, then describe it. Make sure everyone knows the key.
Rule 9. Don't be shy, it's OK to come to the Jam and feel out the situation the first couple of times. The jam is a chance for people to get out and have a good time. Participate!
Encourage others to participate. Some people want to be coaxed. Coax them.
Rule 10. Applaud. Be happy. Reward positive behavior. The jam isn't about you, it's about US. Make everyone feel they've done a good job. We will not & do not tolerate rude inconsiderate patrons. You WILL be asked to leave.
Rule 11. Mix up the musical styles. The beauty of this Jam is the variety of music to choose from. Everyone brings something a little different to the table. Wed Jams are dedicated to the Blues genre. Thur Jams are all genre
Rule 12. Play easy songs. Songs with complicated changes and key changes make it hard on those that don't know the song. Play simple songs that everyone knows. This isn't work.
It should be FUN!!
Rule 13. Remember, this is supposed to be fun. If you don't have something nice or constructive to say, don't say it.
Rule 14. Bring your own axe. Don't ask to borrow a guitar or someone's harmonica.
If you are a harp player, bring your own Mic and or amp and ask your Host where you can set up and plug in to the board. Drummers should bring their own sticks. Drummers should also bring extra sticks. Guitar players should bring picks, slides, extra strings and batteries. Harp players, bring more than one harp - don't make the band play in G all night.
Rule 15. Listen to your Host when he says it's time to rotate your position. He knows how many players there are, and how much time is left, so that all get a chance to play.
Rule 16. Don't start fights.
Rule 17. Let someone else be the star for a set. Depending on attendance and sign-ups, the Jam will rotate players every two or three songs to let someone else take a shot at stardom.
Rule 18. Bring your friends, everyone likes an audience and a fun evening.
Rule 19. See, hear, meet & network with area musicians. Play, sing, listen, eat & drink. Our goal is for you to have a good time.
Rule 20. Practice at home. Bring a new riff or song or idea to the Jam each week.
Rule 21 ??. Make a new rule. Go to the jam and figure out how it could be improved and tell me about it. We will add the rule here.
