No jam nites that I know of. My teacher (up til he moved about 2 yrs ago) used to suggest the same thing with the tape player. Thanks for the reminder. Now that I'm feeling the fire again I'll do that. But my son has connected with the local guitar god. The only reason this guy isn't famous was his ego when he was younger. Couldn't hold a band togther. Amazing musician, multiple instruments. He can sight read piano music onto to his axe faster than most piano players can play it. He's invited my son to jam, and I may just "tag along". Practice in the car is a little harder on guitar
