Hi everybody i have just been offered a spot as lead guitarist in a Christian rock band. BTW i am already guitarist in another rock band and will be splitting the time between the two. Any tips for the first practice with them.

Seriously, just relax and be yourself.

 

Plus, keep your volume under control. And whatever you do...if you mess up, don't cuss!;)

Be on time, in tune, and sober. Thats a pro attitude. Even if you're just a average player, it'll set you apart from the pack. If you treat it like a job (instead of the fun that it really is) You'll always make a good impression. My.02

Bite the head off a bat and tell them they'll be some changes around here.

 

Nah, really, I might call one of the people a few days ahead and ask whether or not they have any material specifically they'd like you to know.

 

And, as was said above, be polite, friendly and professional.
