Getting Lost With Other Instruments Playing

[Christopher Pendleton]

I am a fairly new mandolin player – just over a year. I have been to some jams and when songs are played that I know like Angeline the Baker or Turkey in the Straw when the song starts then all the other instruments start playing I tend to lose exactly where the song is and then have difficulty in catching up or getting back into the song. So I don’t know if anyone has experienced that or if it will go away as I get better and more familiar with the song? Any tips like practice with headphones with other songs playing, etc?

Thanks!
