I think each band member should get equal credit. The teacher I play with has taught me that playing in a band is like taking part in a perfect circle of people - everyone needs to be "with" each other as a team and not as competitors, as everyone is dependant on each other - if someone is trying to be too "perfect", then it's going to get a bit off edge.
Do you agree with what I said, or do you agree with me thinking I pull this stuff out of my butt?
