This is good. You guys are the best. Tomorrow night (on lead guitar) is my band's second gig and was about to post a similar thread (mostly dreading dumb mistakes where I've played it perfectly a hundred times before). Looks like ya'll covered it. Good stuff - thanks!

Many thanks, all. The input and observations are much appreciated. I should hopefully be able to approach this more constructively, without throwing a hand grenade onto the 'stage'. :thumbsup:

Yup. Several times. We can match each other without percussion, which is why I concluded that it was likely a timing issue... thanks!

Ha, possibly. He's kinda 'strummy', I'm more 'attacky'.

Yeah (at least for Learn To Fly), switching parts could resolve the dissonance.....

Yup, thank you. Agree. Regarding my example, we have gone over the rhythm parts several times (together and with the band and even consulting several YouTube covers) and, at his insistence, I'm now on my 5th different way to play my bit. No change - therefore it leads me to conclude as I did...

Thanks, yes, good guy and reasonably open (though if I may say, a little older than I am and maybe a little stuck in a certain way). Agree, I'm striving to be the worst instrumentalist in the band, hence a serious consideration to leave as well...

A lot to unpack here, but it seems that I put the question to the right group...! Don't tell my bass player - though he tends to be the most chill of the lot of us. Multi-track recording sounds a little ambitious but I'll look into click track and metronome. As several have pointed out, I...

Lurking guitar player here (now ducking). This forum, while established for bass players, always seems to have good discussions about band dynamics. This topic seems to straddle a few categories, so I figured I'd see if anyone wanted to weigh in here. Bass player is our BL, btw, but is very...
