I couldn't agree with this more.
Surround yourself with musicians better than you and you will find yourself hauling ass to catch up. That's why I'm currently trying to find a jazz band to play in.

Would you want to play guitar and do you live in or near South London?

Yes I would and no I don't.
I'm a Brizzle boy I'm afraid.

Oh well
The violinist from my old jazz band was talking about trying to revive the project later this year, after she's moved house. We need a guitarist who would fit in with the 'electric gypsy' style we ended up with after several years of trying.

Bugger, that sounds good too...
I'm well into Django Reinhardt at the moment so could have got right into the gypsy jazz thing.
