Strictly speaking, most of the events that describe themselves as jam sessions turn out to be a loose confederation of random local musicians, mangling cover versions. There will be little or no improvisation.
I then attended a 'jam night' just outside Bolton. Nobody was jamming. Everyone was playing a tune they already knew and waiting for their extended pentatonic shapefest, and everyone knew each other and the repertoire. It made me humble for the freedom that I was taking for granted.
Clayton is a perfect example of how simplicity, feel, and fitting the song, is vastly more important than fancy technique.
My suggestion to any guitarist having a go at playing bass in a band situation is to try to play what you would expect the bassist to play if you were on lead guitar.
Q2) If so, how did it go?
