So, today I got an offer from a somewhat local band, who's looking for a Lead Guitarist. My first reaction was "Awesome!" Then I read as much as I could about them, and found out that they describe themselves as a mix of Punk Rock, 80's Heavy Rock, Classic Rock and Heavy Metal with a strong emphasis on the melodic aspects. And to be honest, that only made the offer all the more appealing. So I checked out the few songs that their mail linked me to. Some of them could be better, but I doubt they'd put their best material out for anyone to hear for free...

So far, I've listened to all of their songs 3 or 4 times, so they're starting to grow on me. I'm thinking of trying to learn one of their songs for the first rehearsal, just to show that I'm serious. And to mess with them right from the start... Sadly, I'm unable to rehearse with them on Monday evenings at the moment, so we've agreed that first rehearsal will be after Christmas, and they'll keep the spot open until then (awesome, right? And they haven't even heard my playing! Pretty damn nice of them to keep the Lead Guitar spot open for me for 6 whole weeks!). The least I can do to repay that favour would be to show up well-prepared, and with a tube-amp that I like the sound of (probably a Fender. I don't know why, I just love Fender amps! I'm not too big on their guitars, but their amps are really awesome!).

And now I'm just hoping things are going to work out with that band in 6 weeks... And that they'll be playing some gigs throughout 2015 while I'm with them...
