That's great that you now may have another guitar player to work with too. It's good that he has a different tone that you...adds variety!

Enjoy basking in the glow of your success!!!

I actually did pay the mistakes some attention... I was just about to play the wrong chord, and just immediately thought "wrong chord", then did a little kind of walk-in to the next chord. Luckily, my pick had only hit the Bass-Note, so it wasn't a big problem to save that mistake :)

I agree that it's good that the other guitarist has a different tone. It would get boring if we both played with the same gear and settings. As far as I know, he only has one guitar, a Fender Squier Telecaster with Single-coil pickups, so obviously that's gonna give a different tone than my three Epiphones, all of which are equipped with Alnico Humbucker pickups of different kinds. His style also seems to be heavily derived from the Blues, while mine is more Classic Rock-based.

Right now, I'm just looking forward to jamming with that Bassist. I hope it'll go well, but if it doesn't, me and the other guitarist can always just find a place to jam, and find a bassist and a drummer to start with. The music school should have some who might be interested :)
