After 50+ yrs of guitar, rehearsals are hard work ...

Its much easier just to schlep gear ----------------------------

I've always found rehearsals go better when everyone actually puts the hard work in and practices *before* everyone meets up.

I plain hate it when there's this one guy who's the life of the band, but doesn't practice, and you have to teach him the song at the jam.

Well, you have to have a band first Dan.

This! +1!!! Do your homework before the rehearsal. Make a cheat sheet if needed to remember your parts. But do your work before meeting with the rest of the band.

He does have a band, Rosie Palm And The Five Fingers.

I will admit that in my own band of my own originals, I rehearse all the time. But I rarely practice enough for my classical guitar ensemble. And I'm trying to site read during rehearsal. It's a mess.
