That might be part of the problem.
I see what you're both saying. I described that event completely wrong. My solo disaster was on a song called Save The Last Dance For Me. After having anchored an orchestra for 15 years on electric bass, I have no issues ever with timing and the tempo of playing. Even though my solo was an exact representation of the melody of the song, for some reason someone played the progression wrong. When this happens in our jam it tends to momentarily derail everybody else as well. I instantly tried to accommodate the solo to the chord played out of sequence and faltered in getting it back on track at the correct tempo. I should have continued playing the melody solo and let them adjust back to me, right?
