I've worked with Mario and other guitar players online (here and other forums/sources).
I agree with him; look for a volunteer first. This will hone your skills at collaboration and (maybe) negotiation. Plus you may find a piece of gold along the way.

Some experiments/experiences may not end as expected, but you do get to learn from every one.

/I've personally used things that Mario contributed and discarded others, and it has never been a problem. Not all musicians have an ego. <grin>

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
