[Never backed anyone, never been asked. I am sort of a closet wonder (or so I like to believe), although extremely capable most people don't know it. I have offered to help folks with parts on recordings and whatnot but I have either been not required or not wanted (without being heard either way)

A good way to get heard is to attend an open mike in your area. You will find out for sure if people like you or not. I am not saying that everyone has to like you, but playing in front of people has a way of really honing your skills as a player. The nerves kick in and you have to learn to play through them.
You will also find out how to back someone when you are called upon to do it. That is valuable learning.
