I play lead almost constantly, only because it just needs more practice than rhythm playing. I've never been someone to sit down and learn everything, I play very casually, so if a solo is overly complicated it takes me a long time to learn it. But I've learned enough over the years to play and sing live. Recently I've been meeting a lot of people that play music and I make it a goal to play with them. I'm having a co worker come over today for some jamming! Keep up with the passion people =) If I can enjoy playing live and running some leads, jamming with random people, I don't see why you guys couldn't.
