Re: Jam etiquette
Don't feel intimidated, they are offering you a chance to step up as a courtesy and as a little push to get you farther along. Just shake off the break if you don't want it. One thing though, make sure they DO know when you do want to step up. If it was me I'd take a song they do regularly and go home and get the tab and try to learn a break at your own pace in the privacy of your own home. You can even ask one of the other players to show you some stuff (in private, off to the side) to move you along. It's meant to be fun and hopefully the group is nurturing.
