jam suggestions

hey guys (and gals), I'm new to this site, and had a quick question. I've played guitar for around 11 years, but very little training. I would consider myself a proficiently skilled player, but I rarely jam with anyone. Just playing by myself, and for friends, etc. Well, I just met a guy who wants to jam, but I don't really know any good "two player" songs. We're both into classic rock (esp. acoustic stuff), and some new rock. Just wanted to know any suggestions you guys might have. Thanks!

12 bar blues of some sort is always a good place to start. Lots of real songs based on that (or make up your own lyrics), and it's fun to trade rhythm and lead back and forth.

12 bar blues is a good framework to start with. And if you are both guitarists then you can use my backing tracks of bass and drums playing 12 bar blues in any key you want:

Learn EMERALD by Thin Lizzy. Nice song with swapping leads as well as a nice two guit harmony part

Well anything will do to be honest.. if you just want to jam, you can have as much or as little structure as you like. Both of my flatmates are musical and on rare occasions we will sit around just playing stuff.. nothing in particular.. just "stuff"... So like Dave will sit there on the electric piano, playing some ballad and I will sit there with my electric guitar jamming out a solo..

If you are already an accomplished guitar player, you should be able to solo along to just about anything.. from fast techno to classical music. You remember those "101 Easy Guitar Songs" books that you probably bought one or two of when you first started? These are ideal for such jam sessions.. the music in those beginner books is usually very straight-forward and also quite flexible. They chord progressions in those books will give you a starting point that is not in some unfamiliar setting. For the most part you will know the song, and will most likely realise that you're really playing the proper chords since it's such a beginner level book... but it should have you jamming in no time at all.

Yeah, I would just completely forget about covers when you jam unless its a song everybody knows by heart. You will end up getting lost no matter what IMO and its no fun that way. Just start playing some random progression or riff, then have your bass player work off of that and before you know it, it will probably be some other completely different jam, and it usually sounds pretty sweet. I just have or bass player jam with the drummer really and then I just solo or play random crap in the backround (which is usually how these songs transform into something different). Works out well for us.

Thanks for all your help guys!
