so, my church's worship team is adding and subtracting some people for the new school year... which in some ways is good, and other ways bad. the band now stands as:

one drummer (finally! we have a drummer! it's about fricken time, it's terrible to play with no drummer!)
one bassist (he's new, but much better then our other bassist who actually played acoustic guitar, but picked up the bass only cause we needed a bassist)
one acoustic guitar player (this is the one that was playing bass for us before. I don't mean to be mean, but he really is a terrible player)
3 singers (2 of which are actually any good, one of those 2 being my girlfriend)
and finally, 2 electric guitar playes (one being me)

the band is just horrible. the individual people in the band are actually really good (except for 2 really, the acoustic, and one singer) but when you throw us all into one band, it's just very clashing, and we sound terrible.

to make matters worse, I used to be the only electric player, so basically, if crunch was needed in a song, I was there, if there was a solo, that was me... the new electric guitar player is alot better then me, so when we need a solo, then he can come in and do one alot better then I could. in fact, last night at practice, I was so fed up with it, that for a couple songs, I didn't even play at all and guess what? NO ONE NOTICED!!! next thing, I got told to turn down my amp several times because I was told I was overpowering everything, when the other electric player was right next to me, playing even louder then I was!

AARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!! it just makes me want to scream!!!

just as a note, I have nothing against the other electric player, me and him are pretty cool with each other, it's just I feel like I'm really not appreciated in this band at all, and I could quit tomorrow and nobody would even care.
