    Default Aww Man, need advice..

    So my band and I needed a back up vocalist/guitarist. This guy responded to our ad (for a guitarist/vox) and we sent him a track to overlap his vocals on to audition for us. He did and it was great.

    So we were all like 'awesome, welcome to the band'.

    It's then that he tells us he has limited experience with guitar or keyboard and doesnt know either really well. But wants to learn.

    Problem is, we have to go on tour by January. So my band and I were like....."wha?...... ok I mean, he's gonna try... so... yeah he'll be fine" trying to reassure ourselves.

    After sleeping on it, and talking about it, we decided its just best to let him go because what we needed was a skilled guitarist and back up vocals. (Which after closer hearing what he sent us, it was obvious it was edited with effects to mask some stuff) and we must must must record everything soon, so theres no time for him to learn basics.

    We told him (about 20 hours after we welcomed him, and found out his inexperience) that maybe it wasnt gonna work out.

    He reacted badly. And wrote a really scary bulletin on myspace about how depressed he is and there is no hope anymore.

    I tried messaging him and talk to him. Today he said it was just hard to take, and couldnt believe it, that he was so stoked about being in our band and that it was a huge letdown.




    I'm so lost. How do I fix this?

    We can't have him in our band. But I wish I knew what to say. I feel like we fucked up bad.

    I wish I had some better advice to give you but I really don't... you can't have him in your band, if doesn't know how to play the guitar lol! Just tell him that you know as soon as he picks up the guitar some other band will want him blah blah

    Tell him he can be the official groupie! Ya know...go on tour with ya and get free drinks at the bars!
    Other than that..tell him to practice..or he can even come practice..but as far as performances go he's out until he can prove he's better.

    Dont get involved anymore. That sounds mean..but the guy is unstable. He applied for a gig as a guitarist when he cant play, then gets all "my life is over" depressed when he cant be in the band??? Thats not a normal person...who knows what will make him snap from depressed to psycho.

    Leave him alone.
