As the title says, at what point did you feel competent enough to join a band? I’ve been playing the guitar for almost 2 years now, and feel like I hit a bit of a plateau, and I’m thinking joining a band might help. At the same time, I don’t really feel like I am good enough to play with others.

    Playing in a band will make you a better musician. Most musicians’ first couple bands suck so don’t worry too much if you aren’t any good at first. Just focus on having fun and improving. Find some people near your skill level and enjoy

      Any suggestions for where to find people near my skill level to play with? For reference, I’m in my late 20s.
