finding acoustic jams



If you are into acoustic folk music - bluegrass, old-time, roots and
such - you might be looking for jam sessions near you. Perhaps you
are just looking for other musicians in the neighborhood.

Take a look at http://www.folkjam.org

There are two things a beginning guitar player may want to do right
away on the site

* Type in your city and see whether jams have been posted nearby (all
the posts are from folks like you, so add em if you got em)

* Create a group for yourself and put a marker on the map that
essentially says "I am here and looking for other musicians to play
with". Forums are handy for this, but your post falls away quickly.
With a group on folkjam.org your group shows up on the local jam maps,
putting you in front of the people you want to meet.

Enjoy, and do let us know what you think via http://www.folkjam.org/feedback
