Incidentally, where this "sounds crazy complicated" may score, is that it appears one may be able to set up a generic-ish structure that reflects a hypothetical band, into which a song can be imported. If BIAB does work like that, then one could keep that structure and import any(?) song into it to get an instant and familiar session. Of course songs would very often want a style change, but the makeup of band and session may remain similar. That may prove both handy and interesting.

For convenience in our jam sessions we tend to set ourselves in our usual places and just go around the room when soloing, so the sequence when jamming is pretty consistent. Of course when we play concerts we usually have only a couple or three solos, not the five or six of our jams.

I'll get to better understand both the "medley" methods and the F5 methods and then decide which best suits what context.
