Hey guys
I'm hoping for some critical eyes and ears and feedback on my playing in a live setting. Our band is due for a five year anniversary next month and the singer/ rhythm guitar player has been looking at my playing in a new critical light. Comments such as "you never listen to me", "you shouldn't be looking to be in a band with two guitars because you can't listen to anyone", "you can't back me up as a singer", "you don't have a sense of rhythm". In fact he's started a new band which is more or less this band minus the lead guitar player. Because he wants to be surrounded by musicians that can support him and respect him.
When you hear these things after five years and are told that you should have gotten this years ago because I've been telling you over and over again and you just don't understand it, you start to question your own abilities.
Our singer has a habit of walking off stage during a song when he feels things are not as they should . I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this. The funny thing is is that he's otherwise a great guy and I think he's a fantastic musician. He's got a bunch of great originals, plays great leads. Like I don't know, perhaps walking off stage is normal?
So what do you think. Feedback from players in established bands, pros, would be great. And I've got a few other Walk On Dead videos on my channel too.
Thanks so much,
James
