Thanks for this post in particular. I’ve been playing with a group of friends where recently two of the guys have been writing original songs and now the two of them try to insert themselves into the jam so they can play their original stuff. It’s caused a lot of heartburn amongst the group and I think your points have helped me crystalize what’s been happening and the ensuing fallout. I’ve used these talking points to try to reframe our jams to make them more enjoyable.
And hey, I love your teaching vids as well. This one just hit closer to home for me.
