Hey I always hear about these Battle Of The Bands and then the band gets signed or wins money or something, but do they actually exist? And if they do, are there any for people my age (13)? Btw I live in London, Ontario so if there is one close by here that you know of please notify me. Thanks You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Basically you'll get on average 3 bands play, each has a timed set, usually about 30-40 minutes. At the end of the gig, the audience (or sometimes judges) will vote on who is the best, and they go through to the next round. The overall winner usually wins money, gear, a big gig, or a chance to record an album. If you are thinking of entering, get your band up to scratch. Try to play something that's going to sound different than the other groups participating, and if you can, bring a coach load of screaming fans with you. If you are being voted by judges they'll think "wow, look at all those screaming fans". And if it's audience vote, well it's going to be easier to win if you've already brought 60 people who are all going to vote for you no matter how well you play!! /T You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Usually you play original songs, and thats the only way to win I'm going to the battle of the bands tomorrow (just to watch), there are a lot of high quality bands with members of probably 20+ The fact that you're 13 doesn't matter but you need to get a good band together and write good own songs, which is very hard. If you can do that being young can be an advantage If you have a band, start practicing every day , if not, get one right now:lol: to find these battle of the bands, google is not your best place to find them, but the local music store or music school is!

I have a second question tho...similar to the first Is there anywhere i could play that ISNT a battle of the bands? Remember, I'm 13, so cross bars off the list. If you can, just name some places you think i could play. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

At our arena, there is a place above it where theres always partys and whatnot (new years partys, christmas, halloween, hockey, dances, etc.) and there i a stage (if you can even call it that lol) up there but i dont think a band has ever played up there, but do you think that would work? And would i be getting paid? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.
