Ah maybe this is where I've been going wrong - thinking that I'm not too bad a player and wouldn't mind playing in a half-decent band.

Bonkers advert - [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/community/wanted-bass-guitarist-who-cant-play-or-just-a-bit-maybe/109143631"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/community/wanted-bass-guitarist-who-cant-play-or-just-a-bit-maybe/109143631[/url]

On the plus side, the guys a psychotherapist - as he mentions in his previous ad. As well as some rubbish playing any takers might get a bit of psychoanalysis into the bargain!

seems more like he's looking for guineau pigs for a human psychology experiment than any genuine attempt to form a band

Perhaps the first cover they all learn should be Peter Gabriels 'Milgram's 37 (We do what we're told) :D

i like the idea, ive known plenty of new players who wan't to be in a band but have never had the confidence to work with people who may be better than them.

playing in a band adds an extra edge to your playing, id like to think the guy has a kind heart and is looking to help people achieve dreams, even if its only on a small scale, seems a nice story given how bad humanity can be at times

I reckon he's spotted a new gap in the market for a musical Moonies type enterprise. Soon enough there will be bands getting together who've never met before in a mass jam ceremony.

as long as they dont force the bass players to marry the drummists or guitarers shouldnt be too problematic :P

Maybe its an experiment in the Dunning–Kruger effect, if you've auditioned bunches of guitarists, you'll find it pretty common.

Wow, just googled this and it explains so much of my previous life as a guitarist! But hey I'm a bassist now the voices tell me, so I'm going to be ok - aren't I?
