Learning guitar is a massive commitment of time. The way I see it, playing in a band is merely a test of resolve, and I'm having a pretty lucky streak when it comes to tests at the moment :) Playing in two bands is just a bigger test of resolve.

Right now, gigging isn't really in my schedule. Yes, if things work out with the "Surprisingly Melodic Punk Rock"-band, there will be gigs. Touring might even be a reality, and if that happens, I have to choose between the two bands, at least for a while (I vote that we go to the UK for various reasons). I'm really looking forward to meeting them and playing their songs with them in the rehearsal-space. It's gonna be a fun change of course, since I'm used to meeting people and just playing covers, or like last time I jammed with a full band, I came in, didn't know how to play any of their songs, and had to spend the first hour just watching them play, then spend half an hour learning to play 1 of their songs, and then pretty much just watching again until the end of the session (not fun). This time, at least I know how to play 2 of their songs at the moment, with the third underway.
