i've been *asked* to play guitar for a band who lost their guitarist. i have been playing for almost a year now but i'm not very good. they must have a different opinion because they aren't letting me say no without jamming with them first.
i want to play with them, i just don't think i'm good enough. i have less than a week until our jam. i've been practicing simple popular songs that i think they might cover or know (they do mostly original). i've also been working on chords chords and more chords.
they play mostly in the style of heart & pat benetar apparently... not my favorite music, but i just want to play with people for the experience...
any suggestions of songs or exercises that will give me a great deal of help in little time?
thanks!
