How can musicians meet up and start “jamming” with little to no pre planning

887 views

For example: we had some guests over while my dad was playing guitar, one of the guests just picked up a spare guitar and started playing with him.

Or [that one video of the two sax players.](https://youtu.be/1_9IMZcbKHQ)

They hadn’t spoke before and they just started making music with each other.

I’m sorry I’m not very good at describing it but how can a musician just start a duet without talking. It seems like magic.

You can improvise music kind of like a comedy group can perform improv. There’s some basic ideas and templates that you can follow. In music they’re called chord progressions. Think of it like a template that everyone follows.
