That's wonderful: your puzzle is coming together. :D

You are doing great. Until you get a drummer, get the guitar player to program that drum machine. The Smashing Pumpkins played for 2 years with a drum machine, it can be done.

Maybe 15 more songs and you are ready to gig! :wink:

Well, to update. It had become apparent lately, that one of the guitarist could not make practices on a regular basis. He always had a good reason, but its hard to practice when someone wont show up. So yesterday, we made a common decision that he wont play for us anymore.

Thats not really a bad thing. When me and the two remaining guys played together it came across very melodic. The volumes were about right, the timing was great, and everything just kind of flowed. But with the other guy we were constantly battling tuning issues, volume issue, and since he wasnt showing up consistantly we would have to spend the whole time showing him how to play his part.

This is probably be the last post in the My Red Dirt country band thread though because the remaining three of us arent into that type of music much. We are discussing what type of music to do from here on out. One option being floated around is Praise and Worship, which is a style I have a ton of passion for and it is obviously my first choice.

Thanks for all the support in this thread. Luckly, I'll still get to jam with these other two and see where we can take it. Funny thing is that I have had quite a few offers for drummers and keyboard players in the Praise and Worship genre. Maybe this will help everything come together quicker.
