Maggior: Yeah, I agree. It may not seem very good right now, but once we get there, we'll probably do fine. It still bugs me that my improvised part seems to be missing, but I'll have to accept that and play my parts as well as I can :) At least I get to play guitar, and I get to play along to a singer, though I only have a few days to learn the Arpeggios.

Slipin: Thanks for that link. I'll have to check out that book once I get to the other side of this show. Sometimes, it's actually surprising how important it is for lead guitarists to have a great sense of rhythm. It doesn't look much like they pay attention to the rhythm when I watch clips on YouTube, but you suddenly realize it when you are standing there, playing lead over another guitarist's rhythm.

As for that other possible band I mentioned in another thread, it seems like it's gonna turn into anything. We've been chatting a bit, and then all of a sudden they just said I'm not what they're looking for... I'm not exactly sure what I said that I shouldn't have, but there's not much I can do about it now. They didn't even bother with jamming before making the decision... At least I can now focus on my own projects after this show...
