Sadly, it seems I was a bit too positive about the rehearsal with the Punk Rock band... Their singer just texted me, and said they have decided to, for now, continue as a trio, until they're past their upcoming series of gigs, as there's simply not enough time to teach me the whole setlist. They didn't have anything negative to say about me. On the contrary, it sounded like they actually wanted to play with me, so that's pretty nice. I did make sure to ask him to notify me when the position becomes open, though. I'll make sure to keep the three of their songs that I know rehearsed just in case... And try learning the last three I have heard by ear... It'll be well worth it if they contact me later :)

On the bright side, I have more opportunities in scope. I haven't heard from the other bassist and guitarist in a while now, so I'm going to try and contact them and ask if they're still up for it. And playing with the Punk Rock band got my creativity flowing again, so if nothing else, I got something good out of it :D

Maybe I should try messing around with some of the Instrumental ideas I've been having. I'm not that much into instrumental music, but who knows? One thing's for sure, though. Until something actually happens with my band-search, I'll have to spend some time on technique, theory and speed building...
