Can't keep up.

I just having trouble playing some of the scales and fills but on most of them it doesn't even matter IMO. You can't hear the bass and I feel it takes away from there songs. I feel the most important part as a bad player is knowing when not to play. Just because I'm a string instrument doesn't mean I have to play note for note that the guitarist plays. They forget sometimes that I'm suppose to lock in with the drummer also.
