In the early days of backyard, garage, and basement jams, it was simply play and jam. Practically everything was a 1,4,5 and either in C, D, E, G, or A..... I was quite good at listening and anticipating where songs were headed.


Tempo was set by whoever started the jam...and as long as the drummer could keep it relatively constant.... life was good. TBTH... most jams were in E or A. Occasionally, a band would coalesce from a certain jam session.
