Thanks again for the reply's, the reason my leader is nudginh me to play more of a lead part is because she wants me to have more freedom to express the music how I see it. It isn't that I am uncomfortable becasue I love improvising on the blues scale on my sax and even guitar. I guess I might have jumped the gun a little on this thread, I called and talked to her and I didn't talk to her about the lead part and out of nowhere she told me that if I didn't feel like trying to improvise quite yet it would be fine if I just play chords still to get a feeling for the songs and maybe next time we do the songs if I want I can put some lead into the song.
I love the simple chord trick, I used that alot the first time she told me to try and do something and I can't remember the song but the arpeggio figures from the chord fingerings actually sounded really good. Thanks for the prays looks like they helped, because now I am less stressed and I guess the way I am looking at it now is Hey at least I am getting up using the gift God has given me, it will sound however he wants it to sound. Every noise is a joyful noise I guess I should have remembered that before I started this thread. Once again thank you very much for the help and prayers.
