Me and a few friends of mine are planning to start jamming together come the summer. So far we have:
Me, rhythm guitar (almost two years by then)
friend, also rhythm guitar/possible vocalist (a year by then)
friend, bass guitar (new, but lots of prior experience with violin)
friend, drummer (years of experience)
All of us are potential lyricists.
I'm into mostly "grunge" and punk rock, plus a bit of classic rock, psychedelic rock, folk rock and a bit of heavy metal, and most of my friends are more into neo-post-hardcore and crap like that, with a bit of old school punk and classic rock mixed in. But I'm not so worried about the clash of interests as the fact that starting jamming seems tough. My friend said that jamming with friends normally goes something like... you set up your instruments and then all look at eachother wondering what to do next. But jamming with my friends is something I have been looking foreward to since before I could even play guitar, and it's a major goal, something I'm really looking foreward to, and I have a few riffs and progressions thrown together that I intend to use.
Any advice?
