What's your favourite jam song?
When you play at home, what song(s) do you jam away on?
When you jam with someone else, which song(s) do you end up playing?
For me, I like to play simple blues songs or simple jazz standards when I'm by myself.
When I jam with others, I do whatever seems most appropriate. I do like songs like "Superstitious" and songs with good rhythm.

Right now a simple blues like the Bm backer that sounds like "Thrill is Gone" or a straight A, D, E kind of blues, and/or Black Magic Woman.

2 songs that I know each instrument off by heart:
1) sunshine of you love, by cream
2) unknown soldier, by the casualties,
there's more, but those are the top two.

I don't have very many songs on my list yet and I haven't played with one other than my son or instructor: that being said " Down On The Corner", Smoke on The Water, Yesterday or Hotel California, or a good little blues session.

It depends on what I've been listening to during the week. Sometimes I play Beatles songs on my Martin or Strat and sometimes I'm remembering Pagey licks on my Les Pauls or when I'm digging the sound of one of my Strats through the Blues Jr. or Marshall and I'll rip off assorted licks from greats like Robert Renman, Super Swede, Duhvoodooman, Spudman, Oldguy, Justaguyinc, Marnold, M29, Bloozcat, Plank Spanker, Algonquin, Shiner et al.

I like jamming to all kinds of things, but I'd have to say my all time favorite is cranking any song from Muddy Waters "King Of The Electric Blues" CD. Every song is a blast to jam to. You can click on the link to hear sound clips... AWESOME CD. I think it is a great CD to use when teaching new students how to solo. This is the CD that got me started.
"Mannish Boy" is my favorite blues song ever...

I seem to like any blues in A or G and Black Plastic Woman! Sumi

Black Plastic Woman... hmm, that rings a bell... either I've played that song or I met her somewhere....

It's usually some original idea or whatever I'm learning. This week it's Diamonds, Oye Mamacita (Los Lonely Boys), Crosstown Traffic (Hendrix), Deja Voodoo (Kenny Wayne Shepherd), and Crossfire (SRV).

I gotta say Road House Blues.....The Doors
My band does a 20 minute live version.....I do a solo, trade off with the bassist, switch and play slide.......the drummer breaks it down.....the frontman does his thing.... the crowd sings some lines.... its a great time for all.

Hm...on my own OR with others, "Sunshine Of Your Love" and The Allmans' "Blue Sky" are two of my favorites. I also like "Wonderful Tonight" and when I want to have fun with my wah, anything Jimi (although I always feel guilty trying to play as well as him).
All blues work alone for me, e.g. B.B.
