New to Burning man, Can I just play?

My uncle is inviting me to BM and I am very excited. I play guitar, can I just hop into any drum circles and start playing music along or do I have to know someone in the circle or theme?

it all depends on the circle. some drum circles may actually take offene to accoustic instruments, or expect you to follow some sort of theme.

others would absolutely love having a guitar in the mix.

id suggest learning the "style" of guitar where you strum once or twice then slap the guitar a few times to the beat.

No acoustic music allowed. All music is played remotely by third parties under specific licensing contracts, in even-tempered scales only.

Photo I.D.s are a must before jumping in a drum circle...

Unless you have Harvey bucks to share with everyone playing...
