Hello all

Turns out a number of my friends play various instruments and have decided that it's time to put together a little group with the sole intention of jamming (i doubt we'll be doing the "band thing" as our situation can't really accomodate that). Whilst i haven't been playing all that long and don't feel i'm any good at all, i feel that playing with other people in this environment is a great way to learn new things and important in my guitar development.

I've only got a week before our first jam session and i have never done any "jamming" before, or even played in front of other people so i'm kinda nervous (excited too obviously!).

Anyhoo, can anyone give any advice for the prospective jammer? I'd be super grateful if anyone could recommend a few of the easier lessons that would be suited for that environment, just so i have a more comfortable bank of easy things to play or something simple that i can easily mess around with and vary with different strumming patterns and such (all styles are ok!).

All help is much appreciated! Cheers.
