Here's my guitar, Martin D-16. What's everyone's favorite tunes to jam? Anything you're trying to work on these days?

I'm trying to fill out some content here but posting videos hasn't picked up much involvement or traffic. Let's get this group going with a bit of discussion.

Edit because I asked questions I didn't myself answer:

The first tune I think to play when I'm practicing is usually "Red Haired Boy" or "Salt Creek". I like to mix and match A and B parts from tunes in the same key. These are my favorite "G" warm up exercise.

I'm trying to learn how to play with more focus on melody and avoid just stringing together other people's licks.

Guitar and I’m learning banjo. My first instrument was piano but the one I have the most practice with is my saxophone, although I haven’t played in probably 15 years.

I've always wanted to learn banjo, but for some reason my brain gets so lost with 3 finger rolls. The next instrument I'm gonna try and figure out is mandolin, then I can still use my big clunky flatpick.

haven't had much time to actually pick any of them up the past 6 months or so, but I play guitar, bass guitar & mandolin. was working on learning In Memory of Elizabeth Reed by the Allman Brothers on guitar before life got in the way
