This is an important point--the slow jam. Most of the sessions I attend are quite fast & wild. This is quite intimidating for many who are learning to play an instrument or are just getting into whatever kind of fast & wild Music. I have always supported slow jams because of just that. Those who are in the position of offering jams/sessions might consider a slow jam. Ya just gotta start somewhere! Since I teach a variety of instruments, I often provide copies of traditional tunes with tab for various instruments when I host slow jams. After a while, many of the folks will be able to move on to the wilder sessions.
