As the sole guitarist in a cover band it's sometimes hard to convey the music in songs with multiple guitar parts. Overdubs with little accents or variations is one thing, but when there's two guitarists I either have to play rhythm or lead.

Sometimes just playing rhythm can be a bit lame, especially when you know there should be a lick there. Then again, longer lead parts can feel a bit empty without the rhythm.

Any tips you can share to make this more convincing?

Also, wondering if there's a site that easily lets me combine tabs from lead and rhythm to make my own "custom" tab?

edit : solved, i already knew, but i guess i needed some other's opinions. it's a waste of time, she's not gonna change

I play guitar and met a drummer. She found a bass player and singer and some time ago we played together for a couple of months. All covers except for some jamming. The bass player was moving and we gave a little gig before he left and it was quite awesome actually!

Then stuff happened and we only met to play 2 or 3 times in more than a year's time.

One key part is that the drummer is incredibly self-centered, pushy and borderline delusional about where the band is going. It required the whole group, but we managed to keep her in check. Without the bass player it got quite difficult.

We kinda like the same music, but when choosing songs it's like there's no overlap. I'll say a band and she'll choose the one song I hate. Anything I propose seems to be boring or lacking "energy", anything energetic I propose she just doesn't like.

She found a new bass player and we met up again and it's more of the same shit.

But then, when we do agree to a song and play, I find we do groove together pretty well! I really enjoy jamming and when we lock in it can be sooo satisfying.

And then when I try and solidify our jams as a song or a 2min piece for inbetween songs or even a new part in a cover or something she shuts it right down. Like, it was fun to do once, let's keep it there, never to do it again and remain a shitty coverband.

Cut her out of my life or try and make it work?

I had experience with DOM in 2014-2016 and then more recently I tried 2C-B-FLY, MAL and 2C-E.

Where tryptamines make me want to melt into stuff, even on lower doses, I really enjoy phenetylamines for chores. Or a semi active day, at the beach, hiking in the forest, something active.

Sure, nothing beats a full 10 hour trip, but as a boring adult i got shit to do. So 5mg of 2c-e, working in the garden in the sun and then a nice drink of campari soda is just chill.

A few weeks ago i tried 2c-e and while i didn't take enough for a full dose, I went discovering the forest on my mountainbike. So slow, so chill

Anyone else that feels the same way or y'all just wait until you got some time and have at it?
