Hi Phil! I am lucky to play with 2 casual jam groups. One is a group of up to 10 or so, co-ed, started out as beginner strummers and has morphed to include some really stellar players who perform solos and add flat pick melodies. Pretty awesome stuff! My other group, who play “I’ll fly away” is all ladies, some ukes and some guitars, 1 uke bass. Up to 8 of us. Playing with others has been such a joy!
