@thor I played guitar and bass guitar for a large church for 7 years. If you really want to join a good band, you're going to have to prove yourself. They want to know if you have the ability but also if you can perform under pressure. For me I had to be questioned by other musicians first and then I was allowed to play under supervision to a crowd of around 200 with the former guitarist judging my every move. He also taught me how to use that amplifier because it has no volume knob. That amp was a legendary Metal amp from the 80s with two separate gain mechanisms. I couldn't get to full power with hearing protection.

My point is that you might face some hazing to join.
