any suggestions on how to whip the boys into shape w/out putting them off?
I joined up with these guys last summer. they'd been together for a couple of years, put a bunch of material together, recorded, then lost their guitarist and had this round auditions that was very pro and very intimidating. I was stoked, we had a few sessions back to back and things were getting tight fast.
then it got flakey...
now we're lucky to get together once a month - somethimes less. on top of that, it's a little political too. I feel like I'd be stealing someone's girlfriend if I took the drummer and spun off on another project or even just got him to jam and write w/out the rest.
this is my first "band" since high school (and I'm in my 30's now), so I just don't know what to expect. couple that with the scene being kinda slim pickin's here for what I like to play and I just stay quiet. but lately, we only get about every other session to actually come together and I feel like there's little point to it other than a chane to jam every now and then....
should I try to crack the whip or just start looking around?
