The last band I was in was called "Third Rail" In that band our bass player was the best Guitar player in the band. He would swap out with the other guitar player for certain tunes. But without a doubt he was the better player. Keep at it and follow your heart. if you are not happy then you should start looking to the future. I was a father with small children when I was playing out and I had to play in bands that I would never give them a thought. But I needed to be in a band that was playing gigs. I am talking about a polka band I was in. I never liked it but those people know how to party. They had lots of work so I stayed with them. But if you are going to or thinking about making this your career, you should follow your heart. This is what I got of it. playing in different bands is also good for your playing, so don't be afraid to move on. I was a dead head and stayed playing with friends that did not care about how they were playing or sounded. Make friends with everyone. treat people with respect, Do Not talk behind anyone's back. Just tell it to them about how you feel and look him straight in the eye while saying it. You are the better guitar player after hearing the other dude. Just keep that in your head and cut loose, Don't be afraid to throw those fingers down on the fret board and explore. The main thing I can tell you is to have fun, if that is not happening for you, its time to move on, Thanks for sharing
