Hey everyone, I've got a little question about joining a band. I've reached a stage where I'm getting bored of jamming by myself, and I'd like to join a band, but I don't know whether my skills are sufficient. I've been playing for seven months, and my teacher says that I'm "exceptionally good" for my level of experience; but I really don't think I'm good enough to cut it with other players my age (17).

So, to those of you who are in a band - could you please give me an indication of roughly what skill level you were at when you joined your first band?

Thanks. :)
