Go try it out, see what the band is about, meet the musicians in the band (they might remember you when they put together their next band if this does't work out for you), Then give them one off three awnsers: 1)yes I would like to join the band, 2)no this is not what I want to do right now but thanks for the offer, or 3) I'm not really ready right now but I would like to jam with you guys every once in a while.<br><br>Here are some things to think about when joining a band:<br>1)The music- is it something that you are going to enjoy playing<br>2)The musicians-can everyone get along and be able to have input in the band<br>3)Are they serious-do they really practice, add song to their set list, write songs and improve or do they just want to jam to the same 5-10 songs and party all the time.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I think I have a tool to let you know just how NOT easy things are like playing guitar.  Say you've been playing a few weeks, months or years.  You feel your stuff is still not worth of praise for what you've accomplished.  Okay, ready to get to feeling good about your playing again?  It's really easy.  Go get your guitar.  Do you have it strapped on now?  Got your pick?  Okay, pick a song or even part of one you play.  Play it.  Did it sound reasonable?  Either way, now flip your guitar around.  Yea, rightys play lefty and vice-versa.  Did you hit any notes right?  I doubt it.  Now you are back to the true beginner stage and you can see you've traveled a long, long way in your playing.<br><br>Any time you feel bad or uncertain about your play flip the guitar over and you'll be instantly cured.  Do you realize how much muscle memory you've acquired in both hands, arms, and body in general.  That exercise just showed you.  As Ryan Spencer would say, â€œRock on!â€]]></content:encoded>
