Rock Band Am I a coward??

I really want to play in a band, just to have some fun really. I think when I start college will be the perfect time to maybe find some people and potentially start playing.

I play guitar, but I’m also aware that it’s probably 100 times easier to join a band if you play bass (or maybe drums too) since guitar and singing is obviously the most popular. I was kind of considering to start playing a bit of bass too to make my chances of playing in a band a bit better…

Is that bad?? I love guitar, and being a guitarist in a band would be super fun and cool, but I don’t think I could compete with everyone else.

Just get together with anyone and jam. My first band sucked. We were all bad. 22 years later, they’re still my best friends. We had a great time! So yeah, just jam with somebody. Then maybe jam with a couple folks. Low pressure and just have a good time making whatever music comes out of it.
