Went to my first Blue Grass jam
Every Tuesday about 2 miles from me a few people get together and play blue grass. (There were a couple of banjo players, a few guitars and I was the third mandolin player.) I got the nerve up and went last Tuesday. I brought my mandolin; I think next time I'll go with a 6-string. I'll be able to keep up a bit more.
I really don't know a lot of tunes, but I can follow along even on the mandolin when they are playing in certain keys. (I'm still working on that pinky for four finger chords. Then the key they're playing in won't be an issue.)

That jam doesn't need another guitar player (most don't). However, BG jams really pop when there's a fiddle player. Mandolins skills crossover to fiddles. Buy a cheap fiddle, practice for a bit - you will be the best fiddler at the jam.
