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.

    Makes sense. I guess a jam would be a good place to find bandmates as well? We have a few jams in my town, but they’re very audience heavy. I feel a bit intimidated to go and play in front of so many people.

      I’d imagine playing in a new setting will always feel intimidating. You don’t have to push yourself into a solo spotlight on day 1. You can just chill and play rhythm chords in the background, for example.
