Thought this might spark some on going dialogue. I had a potential buyer for one of my guitars over a few days back.
As we we were discussing preferences on acoustic music styles the band Traffic came up and boom off we both went on playing Wasted and I cant find my way home, Blind Faith. Been there maybe once in life haha.. Anyhow both of us are in our 60’s so 60’S folk to rock tunes were of strong interest for both of us.
For fun I thought it could be an enjoyable thread to start listing tunes that might be required for a player’s in the round/square ,triangle what ever for whenever we should all gather again for SCGC celebration.
Maybe 3-5 tunes with basic chord progressions could help us all to be on the same page.
One of my favorites has been the Bands “The Weight” in the key of A, A-C#m-D-A as played on The Last Waltz.
Lets here/see your suggestions
-
We also go off on The Weight using same progression you mentioned above — and we do some great (and awful ) things to that song. The other night we got into a groove playing Deportee, Hobos Lullaby, Mr Bojangles (Jerry Jeff version), and Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright. Kind of a kumbaya time for all.

By the way……Who here can play the Dickey Betts lead on this ?
When I worked at Squaw Valley about 1973 we used to put batteries and a tape deck in our backpacks connect some earphones and run KT-22 nonstop to this song as we cleared the mountain at the end of a day…….”But , I was much younger then, and I’m older than that now. “

Every country/culture seems to have a different word for jam or a different way to jam if that use that word.
In the UK, a participatory event is called a “session,” but it’s not really a jam. More of a song circle, and if you play along, you sort of need to arrange that with the person singing before the song starts.
A jam here in les-Hauts-de-France is an amplified event (Rock being KING in this neck o’ the woods –not sure about other parts of France). It starts with a short set from a band and then people in the room are encouraged to get up 2 or 3 at time and play a few numbers before relinquishing their spot to someone else. You Do Not bring your own amp. You can bring your own instrument or borrow one from the organiser, a guy who has carried in and set up the PA, a drum kit, a decent keyboard, a bass, an electric guitar, an acoustic guitar, and all the required sound reinforcement along with a few lights.
(I learned all of this the hard way and speaking very little French. 😉 )
Claudine and I have hosted house concerts in England, and done one in France so far. At these I usually lead a more American version of a jam afterward. I find three chords songs indispensable:
Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
Helpless
Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
You Ain’t Going NowhereBut my guitar player, Julien, is a huge Neil Young fan. So we end up playing
Powerderfinger
Down by the River
Old Man
Harvest Moon
…etc, etc…🙂
