His lead playing, however... It needs some work. Then again, we've all been there, and I can use a solid Rhythm Guitarist to back me up on some of my own songs too (could be fun if I could get to play some of that stuff :D ).


Not all lead players are good rhythm guitar players, but it's important to be good at both IMO. So good for him...he's on a good path. Everybody wants to learn lead, but rhythm playing is a lot of fun too.

If you guys connect musically, it could work out well since you could develop your skills together, which makes it easier to play together.
