What music style is jam?

Guitar jam mainly refers to improvisation or ensemble, with no limit on the number of people. It expresses a sense of randomness, passion, and breathtaking feeling when playing against each other.

There are two things you need to prepare before jamming: You must have a guitar or keyboard as a chord foundation, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes. You need drums and bass to keep time, otherwise it’s easy to make mistakes.

Guitar (Italian: Chitarra), also translated as guitar or six-stringed harp. It is a plucked instrument, usually with six strings and similar in shape to a violin.

The guitar is often regarded as the main instrument in pop music, rock music, blues, folk songs, and flamenco. In the field of classical music, the guitar is often performed as a solo or duet; of course, in chamber music and orchestral music, the guitar also plays a considerable role as a foil.

Classical guitar, violin and piano are among the three most famous musical instruments in the world.

Applicable styles

The guitar is used in a variety of music styles. It is often regarded as the main instrument in pop music, rock music, blues, folk songs, and flamenco. The guitar has also been used in classical music, with a large number of solo pieces, and occasionally in chamber music and orchestral music.

It usually has six strings, but there are also four, eight, ten and twelve strings. There are two main categories of guitars: one is the acoustic guitar with a long history and is amplified by a wooden sound box; the other is the electric guitar that was invented in the 20th century and is amplified by an electric amplifier.

There are four types of acoustic guitars: flat guitar (also called folk guitar in China), arched guitar (also known as jazz guitar), classical guitar and flamenco guitar. Acoustic guitars are commonly used in classical, folk and pop music.

Electric guitars are usually used in rock music, blues and pop music. The invention of the electric guitar had an important impact on Western pop culture and music.
