My son is excited today him and his friends jamming
Are son is 12 and today him and his friend 2 guitar slingers both in sixth grade. Are inviting a friend they met who is bassist to the house to start jamming. It amazes me how far along these boys are on fretboard compared to when I was there age and I'm 51,jamming with me and my friends or you tube or online guitar lessons a wealth of information that I even use why .I took a course with my son called all the way to electric lady land my son said dad you know the song yes but always be open to learning I replied. I just got home and the boys are getting ready for home use we have these 1 watt tube amps plenty for the house ,but the pedals are out amp cords being hooked up to heads and cabinets I plan on sitting in to jam but I'll fire up the grill and do burgers for the boys.

pushing retirement age but starting to learn to play mandolin. I've been a singer for over 50 years and do quite well with it.
I go to the bluegrass jams in the local town, I learn a lot from those folks. At home I try to play the music I use for my vocal exercises, stuff you'll hear on the radio including almost all varieties of rock and blues. Music is my first language.
Have great day with your music party!!
I live in an area where there are many artists, some with well known names. Twice a year there's a "pick" where a couple hundred musicians come together and jam for a whole weekend. I went to the first one in January and had a great time. But the area has a large art community and I am all into that since I do other art, music is my first "thing". I'll sing just about any kind of music with a few exceptions like heavy metal and rap, I'll listen to those a bit but I don't perform them. Currently I'm learning to play "still Got the Blues for You" by Gary Moore... I have the vocal part whipped but now I want to cover the rhythm part on the mandolin. Playing and singing is another challenge!
