Here’s my guitar, Martin D-16. What’s everyone’s favorite tunes to jam? Anything you’re trying to work on these days?

I’m trying to fill out some content here but posting videos hasn’t picked up much involvement or traffic. Let’s get this group going with a bit of discussion.

Edit because I asked questions I didn’t myself answer:

The first tune I think to play when I’m practicing is usually “Red Haired Boy” or “Salt Creek”. I like to mix and match A and B parts from tunes in the same key. These are my favorite “G” warm up exercise.

I’m trying to learn how to play with more focus on melody and avoid just stringing together other people’s licks.

    Guitar and I’m learning banjo. My first instrument was piano but the one I have the most practice with is my saxophone, although I haven’t played in probably 15 years.

    Hey, keep up posting, I appreciate the content. It seems that most of the bluegrass crowd gravitate to easier stuff like Facebook.

    To answer your question–I play guitar, an Eastman. I guess my favorite tunes to play are old Doc Watson rags. But nobody at my local jam plays them, so Salt Creek is always a good call. I love to rip off Dan Crary’s version when I play it.
