Imagine each person had a window...and you could set a volume level on each one - so you can mute some - listen more to others? I dont know if such technology exists but how cool would that be?

Well, you CAN get yahoo messenger where you can have multiple people in a single conversation at the same time. No web cam that I know of but you can hear everybody.. Alternatively you can get something like Ventrilo, Teamspeak etc. but yahoo allows you to write as well while others play and you sit quietly waiting dfor your turn. And yes it is a cool idea. too bad my mic sucks too much -.- You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

My only problem is that my jams are very experimental and sound like a bunch of crap You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

There are to my knowledge some sites claiming to offer this - has anybody tried them? The reason I am sceptical is because I cannot see it working "over seas" - as there always is a tiny delay in response time. This must be terribly annoying when jamming.

Ok, well. Being the computer geek, or well, ex-computer geek and nowadays guitargeek, I will give some tips on this. There is no way to get an accurate jamming session in the meaning of jamming. This isn't mainly 'cause of distances. You would get it in a swede-to-swede jamming session over the internet or whatnot as well. This is because of, and varies depending on how good, your broadband and what speed it offers. Closest thing you will get to a jamming session will be something like I already mentioned, yahoo, skype(dont like this one but hey), ventrilo etc. This will be more of a live lick trading session rather than a jam. Here you'll have people showing of their new solos, famous riff etc and takin turns in who plays. While not a jam session it can be highly entertaining and inspirational. We did this on another forum before it got infested by dumbasses who did nothing but flame. So that's the basic idea.. you turn your volume knob down while others play and you fiddle around with your licks, talkin in the chat, listening, pass judgement and await your turn. Then when it's your time to go mad others will judge your playing. It's not hard to set up, the problem is getting everyone on at the same time.

Maybe we could have a lick trading feature..! So I guess it would be possible to have video in it too? (not only audio? Or would that slow things down?)

We started with Yahoo, but we all moved to Pal-Talk a couple of years ago becuase we had problems with Yahoo locking up ---again, thise was years ago, 4 or 5 maybe. We CANNOT jam in live time together, but we all decide lets meet at (time) -then we have to figure out the time zone thing so we log on at the same time. We can make our room private just for us if we get a pest or microphone hog. Guess what? Before I did video lessons, I would do live lessons with voice chat! I'd teach songs mostly, answer questions -you can text questions or ask via voice. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Do not underestimate "just sound" though, it can be loads of fun You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
