Just go there and do your thing. They are probably looking for someone who's a good rhythm player and also a nice person, so it's not all about the playing I suppose.
If it was me I'd forst value the playing but if there's a clash between personalities I'd turn it down. I'd give the job to someone less skilled who plays good enough. You can teach any monkey to play the guitar but it's more difficult to teach it how to be a certain way  Just go there and do your best! If 100 guitarists show up you can comfort yourself with that there will be 99 leaving together with you. No worries! And break a leg!

QUOTE (JensN @ Feb 7 2008, 01:30 PM)  also keep in mind that you should kinda audition them as well. Are they the kind of musicians/persons you'd like to spend a lot of time with? Good point! -------------------- My bands homepage

Did they ask you to learn how to play one of their songs or something ? If they did learn them very well and than get to other stuff ? You won't know how it goes for them..You just give your best shot and if they accept you cool if not - well you tried! Either way you are not doing harm to them for trying...
Good luck , and please report how it went..

Don't worry man, just learn your parts well, and execute them with a style and a little stage act and you'll be fine. If they are nice guys they will accept you, if not, don't worry you'll find another band. It's not that big of a deal. Everybody are nervous on auditions, I was nervous as hell, but in the end it's your appereance and correct song playing that matters.

Well concentrate on learning their song best !! Also seek for help from friends in transcripting it if you can't..They will be much more impressed if you play their song awesome rather than hearing another good cover of famous songs..
Are you sure you will have to play that many songs with them ?? You should cut it to 3 max including their song..Just say I have prepared these songs for you and will learn others if you take me...They should make rules for audition and be able to make a judgment on 3 songs heard...Also be prepared for some random jamming but since they are looking strictly for rhythm player I don't think they will ask you that..but who knows
