Jamming to prog Rock

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm a musician. I can play everything (of rock, Elec, acoustic guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, etc...) and I have a friend who is a very good drummer. I'd like to jam with him. And I strudy music theory. But I want to know how I can just mess around and make it sound like prog.

I'm a classic, "symphonic" progressive rock fan. Not so much a fan of modern prog, but I do listen to a lot of Dream Theater and JP is a major influence on me.

So, how can I do it to sound like... well, prog? I can't play synth in the background while I'm playing...yet. 

Also, the drummer listens to almost everything but I don't think he even knows what progressive rock is.
