As the title says, at what point did you feel competent enough to join a band? I’ve been playing the guitar for almost 2 years now, and feel like I hit a bit of a plateau, and I’m thinking joining a band might help. At the same time, I don’t really feel like I am good enough to play with others.
Good enough is relative. Musicians of any skill level should be welcoming to jam together. If you’re made to feel inadequate that’s their own shortcoming, not yours. Joining a band should be a matter of finding other musicians in a similar place to you in their journey. Being in a band doesn’t ever have to mean playing concerts in front of people, either. If you feel that playing with other people is the next step in your journey, then it is.
