My friends lack interest in playing dead tunes

Pardon me as I complain. I have been playing guitar for 3 years and am finally starting to get to a level of proficiency to be able to hold my own in a jam sesh.

I’m fortunate enough to have a handful of dear friends that are fairly skilled musicians (drums, keys, bass, guitar, sax).

We improvise over chord progressions abt weekly, but we’ve never been able to decide on songs to commit to learning as a band.

Selfishly, I want to play dead tunes. That’s half the reason I picked up the guitar in the first place. I’m super open to playing anything else with them, but I do wish my buddies had more interest in the GD. They just don’t get it. I don’t fault them for it though. Everybody’s got something different that lights ‘em up.

I just hope one day I have an opportunity to play with fellow deadheads!
