NOOO. Bad Idea. That's how guitarist with huge heads like Jolly are born. Pretty soon if you keep that up no one will want to play with you anymore. Best thing is to cut him out of the loop. If everyone else in the band feels the same way then just stop telling him when practice sessions are. Better yet tell him the band is going in a different direction but if he can scare up another drummer and bassist you'd be happy to think about playing with them also. Sounds stupid but it works.

Hmm...I thought my way was a little more subtle. :
I've never done this though, don't think of me as guitarist with a huge head like Jolly. :rolleyes:

Nobody here has a bigger head than Jolly. I only said that because the best guitar player here in town has a terrible ego. Now he can't find anyone who will jam with him anymore. In a big city though you can probably get away with it.

Are solo's that hard to do? And with 3 guitarists...well that's kinda hectic...Do you have a percussionist in that band?

ive been in a band a year or so ago that we wehre all good friends and the other guitarist was (almost) useless in alot of situations; we played ska, and it was just pointless to have shoddy rythym playing in most situations. it just sounded better with just me playing, and there was nothing we could do about it becasue we werent even considering letting him go, and we just had to work around it. kindof irritating. i had alot of problems wiht that band, and although it was my most succesful bands (we played about 15 shows in vancouver, portland, kalamath, and eugene) it was real hard to deal with having dead weight that we knew someone else could fill better. alot of ego issues with that.

Well, i play what you play too, and Brain stew is played with two guitars(i think), and Ocean avenue is played with one guitar, and a violin! Go figure...But hey, the Eagles have 4 guitarists! You just gata make it work. And if not, im in a band, and I'm the only guitarist. If you play that music, Greenday, up until like 01 they had only one guitarist, and blink-182 only had one. So if your gana go and make another band, one or two if fine, unless you want three...I mean look at the Eagles, they have four, and there songs have infinite solos:)
