Everybody wants to be the lead guitarist?

[Floyd Eye]

Ive played in 1 and 2 guitar bands a bunch. I kinda like being the only guitarist.

I play alot of rhythm and alot of lead.

I like playing in bands with only one guitarist. In fact all of the bands I ever started were 3 piece bands. I co-founded another band that was a 4 piece and was recruited into another that was a 5 piece.

I never wanted to be anything other than a bassist.

And…. I REALLY like playing bass and have 9 gigs lined up for 2026!

Whatever fits the song. I’ve played in bands where I never took a solo & others where I had them in every tune.

Ideally in a 2 guitar band, I like to be able to split solo duties 50/50 with the other guy.

I’ve always practiced & played lead stuff a lot more on my own time than any given band situation mandates. I enjoy playing for the sake of it being fun, I don’t need to plaster it all over everything I do.

If I ever did a band again or even just a jam, I would dig to have another git player there. I just dig the size of the sound, especially if you have complimentary tones and instinctively sync on when to lock together and when to open it up.
