So at what point would you say someone is ready? If you can play rhythm to a 12 bar blues backing track (drums and bass on the backing, not mimicing another guitar) in a couple different styles (straight, swing, shuffles, etc) in different keys, with a selection of different chords and voicings, is that the time to get out there? Is it acceptable to show up and only want/be able to play rhythm?
