I have a couple friends that really want to join a band.  i told them that I would give them each a try out if they started taking some kind of acoustic guitar lessons.  They both want in now, but they are going to have to wait until they can at least play some basic chords.  I know that whoever is chosen for the band will do a great job.  But they are going to have to work for it.  I also know that they really want this to happen.  I love their passion and believe in them very much.
