@radomeihsi You fool!Guitar isn't "the part of the costume" it's part of you,of who you are,your soul,it's not like some toy you mess around with,if you break your guitar you break a part of you(only if you really love music (:)
@Misha98100 How come you can take a d$ck and you can't take a joke! Don't give some Disney-mighty duck miracle bullshit wishing upon a star kind of shit. Dude! it is a joke. Probably I've been holding a guitar longer than you've been alive. I make a living out of it. Chill out! or go get buried in a KISS casket or something.
yes, BUT line 6 have a system called the relay wireless system, I dont know much about wireless systems but the relay uses some kind digital technology that does not affect the sound but any other analog system will affect the sound
Hey! I really like your video and I made my band practice its live performance based on some of the things you said. We played a preliminary round to a battle of the bands and we got through. Could you please watch our live video and tell me what are the things that we could improve on to make our performance better and hopefully win the final Round ? Here is the link: watch?v=UVrPlw449oU Thank You!
@nalosful cool im 13 and i wish i could help but i live down in california. if u guys need any tips with the bass and guitar if u guys get one just message me and ill answer back. i read all of my comments.
@a13x1415 The best thing to do is to make contacts, ring up pubs and clubs and just staight out ask the manager if you could play there and how much they'll pay you. try too seem as professional as possible. another way is to get a contract with a gigging agency, but you have to be really really tight, polished and professional and it helps to have your own signature sound and talk to other bands who do gigs and go to there concerts and ask them how they get gigs and ask can you support them ect
@SPAPBrocker Do it, no doubt. Can't do any harm to be seen doing a good show by a large audience, including music journalists. Just be aware that you might not like Katy Perry or whoever, but their band WILL be good, they'll be professionals, so don't assume they will be "bloody rubbish".

try starting when your thirteen, not being able to find a singer, bassist, and all you have is three guitars, that was four years ago and i'm still struggling!
My last bands idea of practice was a couple of half ass rehearsal's, then go out and do the gig, and wonder why we had the train wrecks. And wondered why we never made any money. then they ditch me with a Email!!
@Guitarman777 awwww i'm sorry! that fucking sucks!!! my old band did almost the same thing to me. who ditches their singer! lil bitches... but i know what you mean when you say ur band practices crappy and then ditches you...
Hey I recently started a band and so far we have a lead guitarist and rhyme guitarist and recently my best friend joined the band and he plays keyboard and he only likes glee sttuff whereas me and the other guitarist like different genre of music and im afraid that all we play is glee stuff (i understand tht as a band we are supposed to play different genres of music)
david, you have got to be one of the most awesome people ive ever seen. thanks so much for all of the advice and lessons. im gonna keep rockin and keep the music alive.
anybody used MACs newest line of products? there very decent - i constantly get more! did u know u can get no charge samples of makeup from "Gratis Makeup Samples". i got my samples on 19/09/2010.
anyone sampled Rimmel's most recent range of products?! there high-quality i continuously buy more! did you know u can get hold of free samples of make-up through 'Gratis Makeup Samples'. i my samples on 16/09/2010.
anyone tried Sally Hansen's new product line?? they're great , i keep on purchase more! you can find totally free samples of make-up from 'Gratis Makeup Samples'. i got the samples on 14/09/2010.
any of you used Garnier's most recent product line? theyre good quality - i keep buy more! did you know you can find free of charge samples of makeup through "Gratis Makeup Samples". i got my samples on 07/09/2010.
You happen to be truly sexy, many thanks for the tutorial. it can be miserable i live in Mantorville mainly because i aren't able to obtain good quality make-up, though i receive no fee samples of make-up from "Gratis Makeup Samples". i love Sally Hansen makeup!
magnificent information- appreciate it, anyone sampled Rimmels newest range of products?? it is quite hard to find cosmetics in Lake Dalecarlia but i managed to obtain amazing samples of make-up by checking out "GratisMakeupSamples", their awesome!
You actually are incredibly cute, thanks a ton for your video clip. it can be miserable im living in Churchville for the reason that i aren't able to find excellent cosmetics, though i get no charge samples of make-up from "GratisMakeupSamples". i absolutely adore L'Oreal cosmetics!
Thanks that helped a lot but just 1 question. Where do you get the notes from songs that already exist. I mean do u just get them by ear or do you get them from books. Because me and my mates are thinking of starting a band but we don't know where to start
You happen to be notably cute, many thanks for your tutorial. it is actually sad i live in Ocala because i can't obtain very good makeup, though i receive cost-free cosmetics samples through "Gratis Makeup Samples". i really like Revlon make-up!
Great lesson. I have one question though. My band has an EP coming out and we are going to demon it at a local music festival. When we mix in the many covers we are also doing, how do we arrange it. We have 3 songs on the EP so far, and may have 4. We are going to play a 10 song set- about 45 minutes. Thanks, Austin.
A lot of this advice is just common sense, but regardless this is beneficial to anyone as there are some things that we all tend to forget regularly, and other things that, I must admit, I didn't even think of. For example, the Clipboard and the mailing list, that's a great idea right there.
Every up and coming band should watch this video, because while most of it's common sense, it's still relevant and beneficial regardless.
i nearly have a band we just need a drummer i play bass and sing my friend plays guitar and anyone from ireland in dublin 22 in clondalkin please leave a comment and tell me what age you are cos im a young teenager so just tell mw thanks
i have some friends that i play with but we never can just play something together. we always just play our own stuff and it never flows. pisses me off cuz we arent progressing as a band. i try to tell them without sounding like a dick but its hard. and i'm not trying to say that i'm the only one who comes up with good stuff, im just saying that if you want to be in a band you need to learn to not only play your instrument, but fuckin play together WITH your bandmates as well. any1 got any tips?
I suggest if you have something that your playing on your guitar that sounds cool, and you want them to be interested, to suggest to them to "hey, try doing a beat like this" while you are doing that. And to the bassist as well. Try to progress from there to suggest like verses and choruses, etc. Other than that I don't know really, maybe your friends are just dicks, heheh.
well sound to me like they're either not really interested or maybe it's just too early in their musical journey that they only focus on their playing...that's normal and will change, and probably if that's the case and you make it clear to them it won't upset them.....at least that's what happened with my friends
damn ive been practicing drums since 8 years old (im 15 right now) for my opinion i rock, and i started a band, but my band members are not willing to follow the same dreams as i am, tho they dont know a shit how to play + i got no vocals...its messed up, i mean whats the good part about been good at something if ur alone, im desperate to find people who r willing to do this. (ps im not inviting anyone i dont think anyone lives near i am but im just expressing myself lol)
also if you want to play for gigs you have to practice on your timing. and another thing is that if you suck and you know you suck then please dont be going off saying that your in a band. because that is just a stupid because the people you tell will want to hear you play and then if you suck then no one will want to give u a second chance.
sometimes, it helps if you make demos of a song doestnt it?
im 14 in a band, and we want to record some stuff, i know we are young, but wasnt tokio hotel like 15or somit wen they became famous?.
we are a four piece band, and we said if we buy 1 mic each, we would have 4mics(obv)that means that we could record guitars and vocals, one at a time. after that, we wud do drums. do you need 4mics for drums, so that wud be a good idea-buying 1mic each?
it is much better to make a demo in a studio, it is like 150 dollar /hour but you have professional mics and mixtable and stuff. to buy 4 mics will cost you more money for sure
Hey David T and Rock on good people. im14 im in a band n i nead ur help we do all the things u say not 2...cos i am the lead guitarist /leader of my band and i have 2 do everything 4 evry1. i taught the bass,the drummer and tried 2 unrust the rythme guitarist. i organise evrything and teach evry1 the new songs i think im gunna quite and iam starting this new band. i need 2 make sure that that doesnt happen again plz reply TY ROCK ON
just a comment about 'no audible tuning'; I went to a tool concert here in Ontario, and Adam Jones was tuning his guitar, but had some crazy effects on his guitar; it was absolutely amazing, and I just found it funny cause he was blowing a crowd away with tuning his guitar.
i should show my friend this vid cuz our first song was good but the 2nd was an epic fail cuz i told him to talk to the crowd but he didnt listen cuz we wer up there he didnt say the name while i was all crazy and moving around the stage enjoying my time.
Thanks for the tips! I think next time I'm at an open mic night, I'm going to keep these in mind. Also, I'm gonna try the wireless "trick" when I get a wireless system.
David, I saw Buddy Guy go out in the audience with his wireless. He grabbed a guy's finger and used it as a pick as he played one of his signiture, wild "Buddy Guy" solos. The finger guy almost feignted and the audience went NUTS!!!
Also, don't be too "black" regardless of style. A band full of nothing but black equipment/instruments/clothes on a dark stage isn't memorable. Add some color, hang banners you can light up or get a custom sign that lights up. Spend a hundred bucks and ad some gobo lights or light dancers.
Even if you're a death metal band, being completely black is a really bad idea. If you MUST be black, add a lot of chrome/silver. A big white name banner with black letters. Black is overdone.
you rock so hard he's awsome

damn ive been practicing drums since 8 years old (im 15 right now) for my opinion i rock, and i started a band, but my band members are not willing to follow the same dreams as i am, tho they dont know a shit how to play + i got no vocals...its messed up, i mean whats the good part about been good at something if ur alone, im desperate to find people who r willing to do this. (ps im not inviting anyone i dont think anyone lives near i am but im just expressing myself lol)

also if you want to play for gigs you have to practice on your timing. and another thing is that if you suck and you know you suck then please dont be going off saying that your in a band. because that is just a stupid because the people you tell will want to hear you play and then if you suck then no one will want to give u a second chance.

sometimes, it helps if you make demos of a song doestnt it?
im 14 in a band, and we want to record some stuff, i know we are young, but wasnt tokio hotel like 15or somit wen they became famous?.
we are a four piece band, and we said if we buy 1 mic each, we would have 4mics(obv)that means that we could record guitars and vocals, one at a time. after that, we wud do drums. do you need 4mics for drums, so that wud be a good idea-buying 1mic each?
an answer wud be greatly appreciated
thanks

it is much better to make a demo in a studio, it is like 150 dollar /hour but you have professional mics and mixtable and stuff. to buy 4 mics will cost you more money for sure

just a comment about 'no audible tuning'; I went to a tool concert here in Ontario, and Adam Jones was tuning his guitar, but had some crazy effects on his guitar; it was absolutely amazing, and I just found it funny cause he was blowing a crowd away with tuning his guitar.
but thanks a lot, this has been a really good.

Thanks for the tips! I think next time I'm at an open mic night, I'm going to keep these in mind. Also, I'm gonna try the wireless "trick" when I get a wireless system.

David, I saw Buddy Guy go out in the audience with his wireless. He grabbed a guy's finger and used it as a pick as he played one of his signiture, wild "Buddy Guy" solos. The finger guy almost feignted and the audience went NUTS!!!

Also, don't be too "black" regardless of style. A band full of nothing but black equipment/instruments/clothes on a dark stage isn't memorable. Add some color, hang banners you can light up or get a custom sign that lights up. Spend a hundred bucks and ad some gobo lights or light dancers.
Even if you're a death metal band, being completely black is a really bad idea. If you MUST be black, add a lot of chrome/silver. A big white name banner with black letters. Black is overdone.
