    don't feel bad. so do I. It's a trait of sensitive caring people. Rare for guitar and trumpet players.

    Everybodys different fuck it. I say jam, go with what you feel. I wouldn't sell out wayside but try and light a fire under their asses too. He'll you have a bit of following locally you're young go for it while you can, jam maybe record a bit with the side project but find out if their worth a shit before you quit wayside. It's perfectly fine to play with more than one band like you said you'll get to play a few more solos.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    ya...i think personally, as the guitarist i am, being able to do all those solos would be great and fullfilling ...in its own way. but as far as being in aband and making music, its not about the solo..and i really love what i do with wayside, even though its a fucing pain in the ass most of the time..fucking bass player....not everyone is on the same page in that band,and i just dont get why...

    the thing is, this new band isnt looking to be a side project..they want committement, THEY WANT to go for it, and not work 9-5..well duh, so does everyone in the world... but they want to do what they can, where as wayside..well..thats a whole fucking story in itself...so being in the other band, they would want a commitment, jaming 3-4 times a week etc...so wheres the time for the band that i truly want to be in...i hate moving on from something, or spreading myself to thin without giving it my all and fail before hand...

    It all depends what you are looking for and what kind of goals you have. As you probably know, most people talk trash and when it comes down to it they are mostly talk. If this band is genuine and actually seems to want to go in the same direction as you..then go for it. My advice though is to try to stick to one band.....one day you may have to choose.

    i would see what it was like - definitely - you never know why doors are open until you walk through them - cheesy clichee statement, sure - but...go for it -
