You can play simple 12 bar blues. For ex. A, D, E. That always works on a jam. "Smoke on the Water" is also a cool one.
With minor pentatonic you can never go wrong, just make some cool licks and make sure you're in a right key. Good luck there This post has been edited by Emir Hot: Sep 29 2008, 12:07 AM -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

I agree with ^^ Learn the minor pentatonic scale and try to come up with some licks that you can use while jamming......
And dont be nervous that you are going to mess up since your playing with friends and your only playing for fun, so everything dont have to perfect......... Have fun jamming with your friends -------------------- My Gear

It is cool for a jamm to do some basic blues progressions for starters. THen you can do some rock or jazz standards, and one can play a theme, while others then wait their turn for soloing. Someone has to take over the role or a "jamm leader" and give roles to musicians, like who is gonna play rhythm for the next tune, who's in line for soloing etc. This could be the person with most musical knowledge, so it can keep the jamming session nice and entertaining.

As mentioned. Practice a blues-12. Both with a base at the A string (A D E) aswell with a base at the E string (E A B )
EDIT: I mean, just so you're sequre when you're jamming and don't have to "think" incase you're used to Blues in A and all of a sudden there's a jam in E and that makes you unsure since it's differnt moving pattern so to speak... unless you have a 7 string, extra B string.  You get the point

I agree with the others, pentatonic scales and some easy blues patterns are good to jam. Keep in mind that this should be fun for all of you, it is not a competition, where everybody tries to outshine the others. You should play together, not against each other, listen to what the others are playing and enjoy the session.

Thats what I was talking about too, listen to the others, of course also watch their hands, see what they are doing, like this you can learn so much. And of course, never hesitate to ask if you want to know something.

You can check out my blues groove library lesson fro some ideas mate. If you wanna play in some different key, all you have to do is transfer the I chord to some other note on the low E string.
