Jam Session Serving Suggestions:

Get a wah pedal. It's usually an expression pedal, but you can also get an auto-wah in stombox form.

Jam Session Serving Suggestions:

When you are taking a break from jamming, instead of leaning your guitar (or bass) against an amplifier (or the wall), use a guitar stand.  It's safer for your instrument.
