the problem with this is that we don't jam enough. I want to jam 4-5 times a week, but they all have jobs, and its hard to get everybody together. I've decided not to really confront any of the members of the band about this, just to form my own band with members of my choosing, and jam with the other one whenever i feel like it.

"What???" - Well, see, I don't really run the band I'm in now. I more so joined it, but the one i'm going to form is going to have 1 drummer, 1 bass, one guitar (me), and one key player. I'm going to give this a shot, and i think it will work out better.

the tone i get with my Gibson Les Paul -> Line 6 Pod XT-> Q Tron + -> Jim Dunlop Wah-> Fender Deluxe Reverb is awesome, and in about a month or so I will be having synth sounds via my Pod XT (downloading midi sounds from my keyboard to comp to pod xt).

I'm going to try the 4 piece, and I think i will like it very much. Thanks for the advice.
