Similar to others my work schedule does not allow me to be consistent for practices and/or gigs. I went through that years ago and was always frustrated when "that guy" let you know 2 hours or less, before a gig, he wasn't gonna make it. So now the set list has to be redone because I don't the range he does. So I always swore I would never be "that guy".
In addition to jams when I was up north, I connected with a few guitar groups on
https://www.meetup.com/ We would play out in a club or bar similar to an open mic (wouldn't get paid)
but sometimes in beer
. Because we met regularly. you could team up with people, and one group used to have themes. Like one week would be " Songs from the 60's" or "Singer/Songwriter Songs". So if you look you may be able to find something there.
There is also Bandmix
https://www.bandmix.com/ You can build a profile, search for other musicians to jam with, or bands looking for a player. When someone joins in your area they will send you an email letting you know.
Both of these services are free, although Bandmix has some premium stuff you can pay for, if you want.
Many local music stores have bulletin boards and/or free periodicals which show where jams, are and musicians looking for others.
And then there's always grab your guitar and go down to the park, or the beach, and sit down and play. I've met a number of great people like that.
Good luck.
