in a jam session you usually just follow along with what the others are playing. you have to have good improv skills. just work on some riffs and start playing them and the others should just fall in behind you. when they play something you just fall in with them and play along. it helps if you know the songs the other people play, so if they start playing something, then you can play along. get an idea of the songs they usually play.  goodluck!!

now that you told me to (in one of my Q's) i have and i want to know how to play songs that you want to hear

You should since each practice song is an exercise in itself that is designed to develop a  specific technique regardless of how corny or easy or hard it is. Plus, you'll need those techniques later on when you get into harder lessons. It's all in the name of repetition, that's how we learn our instruments. Take care and may you become a guitar monster!!!

Yeah, Buddy Guy would probably be good, I agree. Also maybe B.B. King, Freddie King (some live stuff from the '70's has Eric Clapton playing with him, actually), Lightnin Hopkins... Some Bonnie Raitt, especially early stuff by her, could be something you'd like too; some of her stuff is more countryish, but she plays some great blues guitar too -- you just have to pick the right tracks...\n\nThe Paul Butterfield Blues Band and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers are both very good, and very Claptonesque (actually, Clapton played with the Bluesbreakers too, as far as I remember).\n\nAnd if you're open to Delta blues too, rather than just electric stuff, Robert Johnson will change your life.

Try listening to a band like the Goo Goo Dolls...

Here's a link for the tab, you have to have enough skill to be able to set your guitar and play it like Hendrix after that.\n\nhttp://www.aztabs.com/J/JimiHendrix/fire.asp

You should play with every recording that you like, over and over and over until you have great strength and good callouses built up. Learn to 'walk' a bass line. Think of it as a percussion instrument- if you mess up don't stop playing, that will really stand out...just find the right note and keep going! Good Luck!

Depends what sound you want. If you want a traditional strat sound like Jimi Hendrix had, get singlecoils, if you're looking for more of a sound like Jimmy Page or someone else that uses a Les Paul has, get a humbucker.

Depends on your rhythm..some people just naturally have it...Playing with your favorite music is the best way to learn to play, lessons if you want in-depth theory, or to read music. Have FUN! P.S. For serious music like blues or jazz, Learn to 'walk' the bass line.

I have been playing guitar for the past 30 years. I too play a variety of music and have owned many guitars. I would say from my experience that it really depends on you and what you are attemping to play. I had both a Fender Strat and a Gibson Les Paul (plus others). As an example the Gibson was more versatile where as the Fender has a thin neck to really rip out a riff or two quickly. I would suggest going to a music store and play both or many to see which "feels" and sounds right for you. Another is to find articles or info on the net of artists that are playing the music you want to play. I am a huge Paul McCartney fan and I know through research  what equipment he is playing on and for what songs.  This not only helped me learn the tunes accurately but better appreciate the guitars that the pros's use to create what sounds they are getting from them. Good luck in your research!!

Guitar is cool but you really gotta have a feel for it and if you don't, it's more difficult. But everyone looks cool playing drums. I would get those.

You should learn "To Defy The Laws of Tradition" by Primus. It has a sorta difficult tapping technique in there so it might take some practice. "Them Bones" by Alice in Chains is pretty much all chords, and "Man in the Box" is alright to learn. You could learn "Killing in the Name" By RATM, too.
