:eek: You know I am in the same boat. I have been playing about 5 years and really seriously been playing about 2.. I didnt take lessons untill about a month ago. I wanted to learn the theroy part.. Well I kept with that for about 3 months and said **** You.. The teacher sucked..lol. and went back to teaching my self. That why I joined this site. But me and my buddie have been jamming for about a month. We had a bassest but he got a GF. and that was that. lol. I am still in highschool so i am not worried about getting big. Right now I am just setting my goals to playing as much as I can and having Fun. The Band will come together when its ready.
