well, i gotta e mail from school today saying that i am now in the school stage band on guitar 8) its the hardest band to get into, and mostly year 10-12's are in there, so i'm damn lucky to get in there at year 9! i'll be the rythme for now, the lead guitarist is in year 12 this year so i'm gradually gonna learn the lead parts towards the year as he's leaving next year. i'm looking forward to playing guitar with him, cause i've seen him play in the school PAC a couple of times and we've had a few jam's at open mic session's, so it should be fun. the stage band plays classic stuff, mostly wind/brass instrument bassed, but the guitar's do sometimes get solo's and such. so for once, im actually looking forward to school starting again :)

Good news here mate. The people who best understand you will likely be your peers. You could learn a lot from this.
Spend a good bit of time listening mate. Offer what idea's you can of course, but be open to new ones too.
