Well, just got home from the rehearsal/audition and I think it went pretty well. First of all, Volume was no problem at all, which was actually one of my biggest concerns. I just plugged my Fender Mustang II in, asked the drummer to start playing something and let me know when he could hear my guitar clearly, and adjusted my volume that way. The other guitarist then turned the volume on his freaking Fractal Axe-FX II (I have no clue where he got the money for that...) to match my volume, and we took it from there.

So they asked me which of the songs I wanted to start with, and I just chose the one I was most confident with, and started playing the Clean part. The rest joined in at the right time. Then, once we hit the solo, things got a little out of hand, since I didn't know that he would take the solos the first time through (they had offered me the Lead Guitar-role after all). Thanksfully, I quickly noticed that he was also playing the solo, so I went back to Rhythm and they didn't seem to mind... I got to improvise something later, so I'm happy.

All in all, things went pretty good, and we agreed to meet again soon, so I'm fairly sure I've finally found a band. Now, I probably won't be playing with them at their first gig this year, since that would mean having to learn enough songs to fill a set-list in just 4 weeks, but I'll still be rehearsing with them :)
