Tricky situation Jaxon. A number of years ago I wrote an article for a folk publication called "Emily Post goes to her first jam session". In it I tried to set down some guidlines for a group of singers and players getting together to do some music. It was written with lots of self-depricating humour, so that nobody would think I was trying to impose "professional" rules on anyone. Wow! Did I get flack! It talked about: getting in tune, backing off a bit if you didn't know the chords, including as many "chorus" songs as possible, so that even inexperienced folks could join in, and in general-just being courteous. Well, a lot of musicians (especially bad ones,) don't want to know from courtesy. A local weekly jam group posted the article on the wall, and for months I heard that certain jammers thought I was "trying to take the fun out of playing, and make us all "professionals". So be careful Jaxon, your motives are sure to be questioned.
