It's a family-friendly guitar players' community. (See the forum guidelines, please.) It's virtual nightclub and bar for guitarists with a stage for performers, a back room, an open mic, and, if you qualify for a stage pass, it has a private lounge for "illegal" activity like talking about heavy controversial topics.
Jam Session is also a learning center. We've got legendary performers who will help you master your licks, we got theory gurus who can explain modes, and we've got luthiers who can help you customize your ax.
Play the Blues? Come on in.
Play heavy metal rock guitar? Come on in.
How about Classical or Folk? Come on in.
Country? Sure.
And Jazz? You bet!
You name it, we play it, but it's gotta be GUITAR.
Come join the party in the lounge. Burn up the fret board, but just try to keep the levels down below ear-bleed. Jam Session is in full swing.
How to tell when you're married to a real guitar player.
If your mate holds the guitar in their arms more hours than they hold you.
If they fall asleep with their guitar INSTEAD of you.
When you find the GUITAR carefully laid on your side of the bed, its head on your pillow.
When your mate is gigging and the fire alarms go off, they are out the door with all their gear. Once it's safe, only then do they come back for you.
The guitar has higher insurance than you.
