In this blog, we\u2019ll look into a couple of ways to find other musicians to jam with&#8230;<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>It might sound a little obvious, but jamming can mean different things to different people. For example, if you\u2019re a jazz or blues musician, then jamming will often involve a set of \u201cstandards\u201d or \u201creal book\u201d tunes, with a lot of improvisation. However, if you\u2019re looking to set up a band, then having a jam might involve you all learning some of the same songs and playing them together, from start to finish, following the structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, it\u2019s a good idea to make sure everyone has a clear understanding of what\u2019s going on beforehand. The last thing you want from a jam session (especially if it\u2019s just for fun!) is for anyone not to be able to take part, for whatever reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, before we get to that stage, you need to find someone to jam with! Here are some classic routes for discovering the Lennon to your McCartney (or visa versa).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jam nights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By no means a dying breed, jam nights can be found in the most surprising of places. If you live in a big city, you might want to look online for music venues in your area that will often put on blues, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/how_to_get_gigs\/tip-4-jam-sessions-jazz-jams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jazz<\/a>, or other jam nights. While these will usually occur during the week, they are often a great place to meet new musicians and have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/are-open-mic-nights-killing-live-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">can be controversial<\/a>, you can also look for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/how_to_get_gigs\/open-mic-nights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">open mic nights<\/a> that might be put on in bars, pubs or other venues.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in a more rural location, jam nights can often be found in the back room of a pub or village hall. Remember that if you can\u2019t find a jam night that you\u2019d like to attend\u2026 why not start your own?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/jazz-trio.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/jazz-trio.jpg\" alt=\"jazz trio\" class=\"wp-image-2890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/jazz-trio.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/jazz-trio-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/jazz-trio-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/jazz-trio-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/jazz-trio-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/jazz-trio-740x493.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Social media<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media is probably now the go-to for getting in touch with new musicians. In this respect, finding communities of musicians who share your passion has never been easier! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try looking up the type of genre you\u2019re looking to jam in for new Facebook groups to join, or maybe look up some of the more general Facebook groups designed to put musicians in touch. You can also search out groups of musicians based specifically in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your jam is just going to be for fun, it is best to steer clear of any Facebook groups with strict rules on who can and cannot post. Some will be strictly dedicated to professionals seeking people for gigs, so read the rules on each group before posting in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that you can always look up more advice on using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/how_to_get_gigs\/ultimate_musicians_guide_to_twitter\/\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/ultimate-guide-facebook-musicians\/\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/instagram-musicians-ultimate-guide\/\">Instagram<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/tiktok-for-musicians\/\">TikTok<\/a> as a musician. Learning how to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/using-hashtags-for-musicians\/\">hashtags effectively<\/a> can also help you connect with other musicians in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/phone-292994_1280.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/phone-292994_1280-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Person scrolling through a smartphone to find local musicians\" class=\"wp-image-5513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/phone-292994_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/phone-292994_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/phone-292994_1280-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/phone-292994_1280-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/phone-292994_1280-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/phone-292994_1280-740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/phone-292994_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/phone-292994_1280-570x380@2x.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Online sites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, social media isn\u2019t the only option for finding musicians online to jam with. There are several dedicated websites, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joinmyband.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Join My Band<\/a>, where you can post ads online looking for like-minded musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other popular options include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandmix.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">BandMix<\/a>, which lets you search for musicians by location and genre, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Meetup<\/a>, where you can find local music jam groups and events.

Many of your local instrument dealers will have a section of their shop dedicated to adverts for musicians where you can leave a flyer, poster, business card or even just a handwritten note. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this might not get as much attention as an ad online, there is nothing to say that you won\u2019t find exactly who you are looking for. In a way, this is already hyper-targeted \u2013 chances are if someone sees your ad in this location, they are going to be pretty local themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can always just ask behind the counter as well \u2013 maybe the owners will know someone appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you have the other classic option that is exploring your extended network. If you\u2019re looking for a specific instrumentalist to jam with (perhaps with a view of adding their instrument to your band\u2019s line up) you can always ask around any musicians that you already know. You might be surprised just how tight-knit the musical community is in the UK and how far you can reach with simple word of mouth advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/guitar-2353960_1280.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/guitar-2353960_1280-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Guitarist playing acoustic guitar at a jam session\" class=\"wp-image-5514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/guitar-2353960_1280-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/guitar-2353960_1280-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/guitar-2353960_1280-370x278.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/guitar-2353960_1280-270x203.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/guitar-2353960_1280-570x428.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/guitar-2353960_1280-740x555.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/guitar-2353960_1280-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/guitar-2353960_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/guitar-2353960_1280-570x428@2x.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/guitar-2353960_1280-80x60@2x.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Music in education<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a young person looking at their college\/ 6th form or university options, you can always consider studying music. While you should take all sorts of different factors into account when making life choices, studying music (at whatever level) will be a brilliant way to expand your musical network and find new and interesting musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, nothing stops you from using some combination of all of the above to find musicians to jam with!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Community spaces<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t overlook local community spaces as a way to find musicians to jam with. Churches, community centres, libraries, and even some pubs regularly host music groups, open rehearsals, and informal jam sessions. These are often welcoming to musicians of all abilities and can be a great way to meet people in a relaxed, low-pressure environment. Check your local council website or community noticeboards for details of music groups near you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips for your first jam session<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have found people to jam with, it helps to be prepared. Bring your own instrument and any accessories you might need (cables, capo, drumsticks, etc.). If you are joining an existing group, ask in advance what songs or styles they typically play so you can brush up beforehand. Be open-minded and willing to try things outside your comfort zone &#8211; some of the best musical moments happen when you least expect them.
