Well I received some good news yesterday. While the lead guitarist from the band I was audition for still wants me in the band (I still do have a chance, it just depends on how this third guys' audition goes) he said that if I don't get voted in he will hook me up with another band.
He pretty much feels like shit now because he, along with the lead singer and her husband, basically told me that I had gotten the job and then he agreed to let the third guy audition.
While I still have high hopes for getting in this band, not all is lost if they don't choose me.
So the band was suppose to decide on who they want to hire as their new bassist last night. I was sitting around half the night and most of the day waiting for a call or a text or something, letting me know whether or not I got the job.
Well a text finally came. But it was not the news I was expecting. Turns out that they are now auditioning a third guy - not because me and the other guy that auditioned aren't good enough, but because they want to "explore all of their options". Worse part about it is they started talking to the guy last night and didn't bother to tell me or the other guy that had auditioned.
So now it went from a 50% chance of getting in down to a 33% chance, which is still pretty good. I'm not really worried about more competition - just means I need to work a little harder and step up my game a bit. Its just the entire way they went about it pisses me off.
Well the band didn't have practice tonight because the vocalist is sick. However they were suppose to get together and make the decision on who to hire.
Now I have to sit around and wait to hear from them. I'm excited and nervous and I just want someone to fucking tell me whats up!!
Been working on making some power tabs to separate lead guitar and rhythm guitar onto different tabs. I have to teach the band I'm trying to get in how to play a song and I figured it would be easier if the guitarists had tabs in front of them with their parts (that way they don't have to go through both guitar parts and pick theirs out).
However its a little after 5am and I need to sleep.
I will post how things go at practice tonight when I get home.
So I've decided to start posting here. I will probably post at least one new blog every day (because I have no life). It could be about anything - what happened during the day, current things that are pissing me off, just whatever.
I really don't expect anyone to read these or anything, just something to take up time and express how I feel.
But I'm pretty beat from this weekend (going to/playing shows, consuming way too much alcohol, not getting nearly enough sleep, etc) so I'm gonna keep this first entry to what I've already said.
