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.

If it is simply jamming, either both musicians know the same piece/song (all musicians have a repertoir, and many songs/pieces are canonnical for a given instrument), or they meet somewhere in the middle, usually one playing a rithmic pattern and another one playing lead over it. Musicians study harmony, essentially patterns that sound harmoniously when played together (for example both players playing on the same scale) and apply their intuition and style to adapt to others. Obviously they will also need to keep in tempo and on create a global coherent rithm.
