41. On the occasional prac where everyone get themselves set-up and ready at the same point, awkward 9 second 'whatdowestartwith' silence hangs in air like dead man's fart.

44. Bassist/maracas player/teaboy sets out incongruous and detailed vision for a band, while imagining others might think he's talking about a different band and will ask him back

I was messing around with delay/chorus/phaser for an hour this morning, and was having a great time, then I realised that if anyone else had been there, they'd have been bored/irritated.

Stop lamely trying to keep it real and use a fucking tuner, yeah?
48. One guy brings fancy tuner that no-one else can work out how to use but, because they don't want to appear uncool, they carry on using it regardless with the result that after 15 minutes of faffing around everyone's more out of tune than when they started. Eventual outcome: "Oh fuck it, it'll do"

49. awkward chuckle/sheepish "yeah that was cool" at the end of a jam no one is actually sure was any good or enjoyable at all

Is it better to have jammed and lost than never to have jammed at all?

Many years ago, I had dinner with and played some with Paul Reed Smith, of the Paul Reed Smith guitar company. A nice enough guy, albeit a little full of himself. One really funny thing he mentioned was that at a NAMM show a few years prior to this dinner/jam, he and his friends were talking about how to tame the inevitably cacophonous nature of GuitarCenter. They came to the conclusion that it would be tamed to some degree if they were to post what key everyone had to play in.

A guy that I knew who worked at Guitar Center said the show room sounds would be the on hold music dialing into hell.
