As the title says, at what point did you feel competent enough to join a band? I’ve been playing the guitar for almost 2 years now, and feel like I hit a bit of a plateau, and I’m thinking joining a band might help. At the same time, I don’t really feel like I am good enough to play with others.
When I imagine myself being happy with a bandmate during a show, I imagine these habits:
-know the songs’ chords, hits, pushes, etc
-silently tune between songs
-have awareness of when the singer is singing
-smile
None of that requires a lot of skill. And when I think about it, I didn’t do any of those things when I first joined a band, so you’re probably already as qualified as I was.
