thanks Mic. my primariy interest is definitely playing electric guitar in a band, but i've got more experience doing solo acoustic stuff and i'm having trouble finding other musicians to play with that are around my level that have a similar mindset (wanting to start a cover band to get paid to play bars/restaurants). so i think for the moment i'm going to focus on my acoustic solo stuff - less money to split with people, no one to answer to but myself, etc. etc.
