I play by ear and am learning bits of theory as I go along. But the do`s and don`t very much depend on the situation and the others involved.
I play a bass and if I`m not sure I`ll hmm along in my head and gradually play softly. As I become more sure of where the song or tune is going, then the volume goes up accordingly.
