Jersey Jam 33
Jersey Jam 33, Saturday, August 16th, 2008 at my house in central NJ.
10am - lunchtime (typically 3 or 4 hours) with our now legendary pizza finale'.
It's NOT a formal open event in a public venue, it's just me inviting some folks to my home, as a way of making new musical friends. We have a small group of regulars and new folks stopping by from time to time. Most of us play guitar, though other acoustic instruments are welcome. We're usually willing to try all styles of popular music, and while still consider ourselves beginners and want the jam to be beginner friendly, we're happy to have more experienced players sit in and inspire us.
This is an informal, beginners-level, casual get-together, hanging around in the basement making music, and we chip in for pizza at the end.
And if the weather is nice, maybe we'll move it out to the park.
No pressure, and ABSOLUTELY NO "I'm not good enough" excuses.
You just need an instrument and a song in your heart. And a music stand is helpful.
If you're interested, join the 'Jersey Jam' group here on folkjam.org and let me know!
And for you regulars, let me know if you can make it, and suggest some songs!!!!

There's still a chance I can make it to this one. If I can, can I suggest "Snowin on Raton" by Townes Van Zandt. I don't have the link at the moment but it's on chordie.com. The usual way to play it (in E) can be a little challenging since it has a B7, but it's a very pretty song.

"Snowin on Raton" is a great song, I'll check out Chordie. As far as the B7, DUDE, C'MON ! I know that technically, it IS a beginner's jam, but it's JJ33, I think we can use a little challenge.
How about "Wild Horses" ? I think we may have tried that one a while back when I brought the Nashville tuned guitar, which I may do again if I remember.
Another great song is (don't laugh), "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica
Just tryin to mix it up a little bit.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up, looks like I won't be able to make it this month unfortunately. Wife planned a trip to Niagara Falls to visit with some friends up in Buffalo so we'll be out of town that weekend. Guess I'll have to catch up with you guys at the Sept. jam...looking forward to meeting some more of the group.
Have a great time and happy playing!

AND I have a surprise.
As far as songs, I'd like to give Norwegian Wood a try. I'm sure I'll come up with something else too, but I was just on YouTube and there are quite a few different approaches to this song.
