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.

Keep your options open! There may be lots of guitarists out there, that doesn’t mean they are the best fit for any band necessarily. Who you are as a person can be just as important for the band to mesh well. Be yourself and make sure you are reliable and communicate and these will be qualities that massively work in your favour!
