Fret a note with your index finger and then rapidly hammer on and pull off a higher note on the same string with one (or more) of your other three fingers. When hammering notes be sure to hit the string hard enough to make the note sound without picking it and when pulling off pluck the string slightly with the finger you hammered with in order to sound the lower note.

To play a trill, first place your finger on the desired note and alternate it with the note directly a full step above it (or as much as the music says to.)

You have 3 months plaing guitar how do you know if you are ready to play in a band?

I would consider the ability to play in a band is dependent on certain things, if you know the people and get along with the people that you would be playing with, if you can play songs in their entirety, proficient at trills and such and the ability to be capable of making your own music, unless your a tribute band where you can just download tabs, if all those things are checked your sorted.

Is a trill only for flute?

Definitely not. Trills are common for flutes, for sure, but there are many other instruments that musicians with the proper skills can execute a trill. Piano trills are popular in classical music. Clarinets, guitars, some brass instruments (with a lip trill produced by changing the embouchure), oboes, and bowed instruments (especially the violin and viola) all can play a trill. Talented vocalists can also trill.
