Any Central Illinois pickers out there? Im a pretty new player (8 months). Looking for some patient soles to let me sit and experience a jam and maybe learn a thing or 2 about playing with others. I feel like that would really help my playing.

Right now, I知 just learning and playing base fiddle tunes, practicing chords and chop chords, and practicing technique. My main interest is bluegrass though. As I said I知 very new to the instrument and I feel like I致e grasped the basics and I want to learn how to jam and play with others, hopefully in a learning environment. I would need people who understand that I知 just a beginner! Honestly, the thought of playing with others makes me a little nervous.
And sorry, I知 from Springfield.
If you need a teacher Andy Hatfield is in Peoria. He is as good a teacher as anyone anywhere and a national champion mandolin and guitar player.
