jam night favourites / standards
Related to my first foray into the local jam night (or going along and having a look, anyway
 ), what do you consider as jam night 'standards', so that I can go prepared next time?I think we already have: Sweet Home Alabama Hey Joe Johnny B Goode Alright Now What else? Hotel California, must qualify? - (I can play that one  )

Any classic late-60s/early-70s number that can be jammed out for indefinitely long solos really. I'd suggest Hey Jude, Sympathy For The Devil, Won't Get Fooled Again perhaps even Comfortably Numb.

Same here, but I'd do the tried and trusted "play the chords, play some harmonies and stick a bit of a lick in there now and again" technique as opposed to "10 minute sweep picking solo" technique!

I played Crossroads and Voodoo Chile the other night
Others have been Red House, Walking by Myself, Sweet Child of Mine, Living on a Prayer, some originals, some Floyd.... all sorts actually, but the standards are 12 bars in A or E!!
