One thing I learned is that when jamming with others, its not a competition.
I used to be shy and reserved when exchanging chops and ideas. I always thought id get laughed at or people would think
my ideas were amateur or silly. It took a lot of fun out of the jam session.
Then when I was in my late 20's it dawned on me....who cares!
When I do get together with other music lovers now, its a blast. No one cares who has the best chops or who can razzle-dazzle
the most...Its for pure fun and love of the intstrument.
Sometimes ill come up with a lick thats sooo cool...other times im happy to jam along with power chords....its all good and I
have a ball.
