Comment to someone who got kicked out of a band. Figured I'd save it.

*she's also EMO, and proudly proclaims it. Pretty poo.


Maybe you joined the band with the wrong intentions ,

OR

maybe you didn't understand the goals the band wanted to achieve.

Being a guitarist IN A BAND, requires constant practice. The practice and learning never ends. Whenever you achieve something (guitar-wise) , the next thing is to PERFECT it. You can't be sloppy onstage, live, in front of an audience. If you are, people aren't going to talk about how chun you are, or how cool you are. They're going to focus on your mistakes. Your friends might do otherwise, only because they're your friends. Your bandmates will tell you the truth though. If you can't live up to their standards, then the only thing to do, is get out of the band. Gracefully. It happens all the time. You don't have to rant about it.

think about what you've done/achieved, and don't lie to yourself. Think well, and grow as a guitarist.

Cheers,

Warren
