   You asked for 10 dB at first, so you must have listened, thanks. Surely you   
   have better control over your playing fortitude than to need assistance with   
   the difference between a mf and a single f? - surely you take your solo to a   
   p?

   You really really need to go to some chamber music concerts or other   
   concerts that are not amplified in any way or even simply listening to some   
   78 rpm records or go to a proper bluegrass concert. Just as you make way for   
   other people playing a solo then you could try trusting your fellow ensemble   
   partners making way for your solo.

   The terse comment is: be a member of it. If you want to fight your solo to   
   the front when you want to play a solo by owerpowering, then you are not a   
   member of a band nor a good teammate. Like in city traffic: negotiate you   
   way and use the openings you are given. Be a part of the teamwork and   
   provide a good show to the audience.
