Just a thought (and my own uneducated opinion to be sure), but I'd suggest going with your original plan -- unless you really ARE better with a Palm Pilot and MIDI than your guitar. If I ever let myself be intimidated into NOT playing my primary instrument when I new there were better players present (or possibly even sharing the same bill) I'd never, ever play in public at all. Honest!!! In my mind, almost anybody is better than me. But, I always go ahead and figure it as a growing and learning experience . . . and a challenge to "bone up if nothing else . . . as well as an opportunity to conquer those fits of "nerves" that arise in such situations by sheer force of willpower and determination -- if nothing else. Do what you want -- plan A or plan B. But don't NOT do whatever the other alternative is simply for fear of being out-classed or out-gunned. The best learning opportunities in life are in meeting "challenge" experiences head-on and overcoming them. tEd ® kiLLiAn http://www.mp3s.com/tedkillian http://www.pfmentum.com/flux.html http://www.CDbaby.com/cd/tedkillian http://www.guitar9.com/fluxaeterna.html
