register your interest in being a "Band Member" only here -Thanks

Can you state also (sorry just thought of it) what level you regard yourself, if you also play bass and what style you like - Thanks

Please bear in mind some guidlines also before wishing to join, as due to a recent event I`m tightening up so that we do not end up with too many "sleeping members" of groups.

Anyone joining any band has to be invloved in the bands thread on a regular basis, once initial recordings are made you need to be uploading your takes also as requested, I`ve suggested (like collaborations) that deadlines be set by the band leaders if they wish, as another by product of the collapse non active members are going to be contacted by me and given a chance to fulfill there parts by a certain time, its not fair on other active members of the group to wait endlessly for peoples takes.

Hmm, yeah I wanna be a band member... I think... I'm not really sure I'm good enough though I'm not great at recordings... :\

Posted by: Smells Dec 14 2007, 11:02 PM

All levels accepted m8, I `m hoping we get a beginners band going, that`d be cool

Posted by: Xranthoius Dec 14 2007, 11:05 PM

I'll give it a shot!

Posted by: Smells Dec 14 2007, 11:06 PM

Good man!!!!

Posted by: Robin Dec 14 2007, 11:52 PM

Can I sing in Go For Broke? I'm not much of a metal vocalist, but I've been singing alot to Uriah Heep and Iron Maiden!

Posted by: Smells Dec 14 2007, 11:55 PM

Absolutly m8, you are member number 2 woo hoo so cool! I`ll discuss with you in Go for brokes thread

Posted by: Robin Dec 14 2007, 11:55 PM

Cool thanks!!

Nice avatar btw

Posted by: Smells Dec 14 2007, 11:59 PM

sshh .. I have been through hours of intense questioning within Mod circles to be able to display the mark of the teletubbies

Posted by: Owen Dec 15 2007, 12:01 AM

I could do bass I suppose, give me a good incentive to get to grips with it properly so I can crash a music course next year.

If I dont cut the slack you can always replace me with a VST of course, it just sounds like a bit of fun!

I'm a big fan of rock in general - particularily fond of groovy stoner stuff and also like metal although I'm not as good at writing complex metal riffs.

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 12:02 AM

2 bands up for grabs at the moment m8, Go for broke and Small Dragons, which do you fancy?

Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Dec 15 2007, 12:05 AM

I'm in for a band, im heavily influenced by 70s and 80s hard rock (Zeppelin, Maiden, Van Halen etc)
I'd consider myself an intermediate guitarist but i wont be able to do any recordings until christmas

Posted by: Owen Dec 15 2007, 12:06 AM

Man hard choice, I'll go for broke! literally!

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 12:07 AM

thats ok m8, Christmas is only around the corner, so I dont think any real recordings going to get done until then, do you fancy "Go for Broke"?




Excellent m8, your in, discuss in Go for broke thread further

Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Dec 15 2007, 12:08 AM

yeah sure im in

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 12:09 AM

great keep checking Go for broke band thread for further developments, thanks

Posted by: g-forcelover Dec 15 2007, 12:16 AM

im intermediate, but i like to learn intermediate/advanced solos! but I suck at writhing really good music, but im a good rythem guitarist. and can't do recordings good. I would like to be in!

Posted by: Davide Dec 15 2007, 12:17 AM

does it still have a litle place for some guitar riffs?
if yes I´m in if you want .I consider me as an Intermediate player and I like to play heavy riffs (most in droped d tuning)

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 12:21 AM

Would you like a crack at Go For Broke or wait for maybe a more advanced band, either is totally cool m8, I`d expect an advanced band to start very soon for sure if you want to w8?




if you can just w8 for g-forcelover to reply I`ll be able to answer for definate, he will be the last spot in Go for Broke, however if your interested in "go for broke" especially I will put you on the rota for the next song, plus everything in this band will be in normal tuning

Posted by: Davide Dec 15 2007, 12:38 AM

okay sounds good and no problem with normal tuning

Posted by: Xranthoius Dec 15 2007, 12:41 AM

When do we find out who we are with like out members?

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 12:41 AM

ok m8 nice one, I`ll put you first down on the rota for "go for broke" till g-forcelover replies,

Posted by: Davide Dec 15 2007, 12:42 AM

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 12:43 AM

sorry m8, missed your post there, do you want to hop into Small dragons? they have their own thread now and are a begginners level band, you mentioned that you didnt think you`d be good enough, perhaps this will be a good place to start

Posted by: Xranthoius Dec 15 2007, 12:45 AM

Yeah, sure cool thanks

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 12:47 AM

ok mate your in, Twibeard is your "Band Leader", feel free to contact me anytime but twibeard should now be your first call Check Small Dragons thread for further instruction from Twibeard, and feel free to discuss what you like with him reference the band in there, excellent Xranthoius! nice one!

Posted by: Xranthoius Dec 15 2007, 12:48 AM

Nvm Small dragons is cool

Posted by: g-forcelover Dec 15 2007, 12:49 AM

I'll go for broke. sounds fun!

Posted by: JVM Dec 15 2007, 12:58 AM

I'd be willing to join any kind of beginner-intermediate band, I consider myself in between the two, as said in the other thread, I'm at about a lesson raiting of 4-5 depending on the lesson. Preference on blues or rock type stuff but really I like anything so, any bands wanting to get together lets talk eh

Posted by: g-forcelover Dec 15 2007, 01:01 AM

is there a band here that plays velvet revolver, and some songs by guns n roses? (november rain is good, Im learing the entire 3-part solo! and first and second guitar parts in about 3-4 weeks i'll be done!)

Posted by: JVM Dec 15 2007, 01:02 AM

What are our restrictions on copyrighted material? I assume we still can't upload anything that's copyrighted, as per the upload forums. Right?

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 01:05 AM

Just keep your eyes peeled in the forums guys , at the moment 2 begginer bands and one intermediate, "go for broke" is now full but anyone wanting to join either of the others just enter the threads and the "band Leader" should deal with your questions.

Posted by: g-forcelover Dec 15 2007, 01:06 AM

who all is in go for broke? post a list please!

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 01:08 AM

there is some limitation in total minutes with GMC`s current license, this shouldnt be a problem at this early stage but if we do too many we will have to start hosting them at myspace etc

Posted by: Owen Dec 15 2007, 01:11 AM

As far as I'm aware mate its:

Robin - vocals
Smells and SRV - guitars
Me - bass
and a Vst for the drums

I dunno if thats all the slots full - you'd better ask Smells (but I'm assuming it is)

Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Dec 15 2007, 01:13 AM

oh btw Smells, after christmas ill also be able to play bass in a band

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 01:16 AM

sweet

Posted by: chast Dec 15 2007, 01:20 AM

I join the "Cover Bangas"

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 01:23 AM

excellent, well done m8, you got the idea the first post is kind of an advert for the band requesting members and you plop yourself in there to get in that band, if you use this thread to register your interest for a full up band then I can add people to the rotas

Posted by: superize Dec 15 2007, 01:30 AM

i would really like to be a member of a beginner band but i have no clue about recording or making up songs so if i can get lots of help i can try.....

i play both guitar and keyboard

Posted by: Zephyr Dec 15 2007, 01:32 AM

This sounds interesting, at the moment the only recording software I have working is Audacity, and it has issues... Pro Tools still isn't up and running yet!!! Any recommendations for recording? Not just for this, just advice in general would be nice, free software only, please, already have Pro Tools, I just need a temporary solution until I get it running!

Anyways, if I do wind up being able to do this, it sounds like a lot of fun! I think I'm somewhere around an intermediate level, I play mostly lead stuff, I think I'm pretty terrible at rhythm stuff, but I'm working on it! I love to play Vai/Satch kind of stuff, but I have a very wide range in music! I like just about anything except rap, heavy metal/hardcore/screamo/all that kind of stuff, and the modern pop/pop rock kind of bands.

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 01:34 AM

Excellent m8, 2 beginer bands started, please have a read in the forum, Small Dragons & Cover Bangas, register your interest on what one you`d like and the Band Leader will take it from there, thanks


Zepher, let me know when you can record and if theres a band you fancy joining or starting(?) then I`ll add you on, thanks

Posted by: David.C.Bond Dec 15 2007, 11:04 AM

Yeah I wanna be a member!

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 11:26 AM

I got you down as a Band Leader david, please see the register band thread, thanks mate

Posted by: Nick325 Dec 15 2007, 04:17 PM

i would like to be either bass or guitar

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 04:22 PM

Excellent m8, check the VB`s boards for available bands and slots, speak with the "Band Leaders" if you wish to join, if they are full you can be added onto a rota for the next song thanks

Posted by: Crazyfret Dec 15 2007, 07:31 PM

Yeah count me in for the virtual band.

As for my ability I think it lies in the early intermediate stage. As for styles I like rock, blues, funk, heavy rock. I like jazz but my theory and technique needs improving and for heavy metal and thrash my technique definitley needs some work, (I suppose you could say I'm a jack-of -all trades but a master of none ).

I currently use Riffworks for recording and looking forward to the arrival of my Podxt as my indulgance for Xmas

Posted by: Smells Dec 15 2007, 07:57 PM

Great crazyfret! I will add you to "Go for Broke"s rota and will contact you when we start work on the next song, hopefully wont be to far down the road thank you m8!

Posted by: JVM Dec 15 2007, 08:23 PM

Check out the Moaning Lisa thread for anyone looking for a beginner rock-alt rock band

Currently looking for a rhythm and two lead guitarists!

Posted by: AudunESP Dec 16 2007, 08:17 PM

I can go as guitarist, would prefer doing rythm becouse my recording skills aynt that great, but i have Pod X3 and cubase. As soon as i get a mic i can, if needed to, do vocals.

Posted by: Smells Dec 16 2007, 10:00 PM

Yay! Excellent m8, welcome aboard, liase with JVM (your Band Leader) for all info

Posted by: USAMAN Dec 16 2007, 10:05 PM

I wanna be a member! Im in if theres an opening.

Posted by: Smells Dec 16 2007, 10:10 PM

Hey USAMAN

five bands running for the moment, what level are you looking for beginner, Intermediate or advanced? also Style you are looking for

basically we have 5 rock bands going (sorry to generalise peeps) 3 beginner bands, one intermediate and one intermediate to advanced., 2 beginner bands are now full the intermediate is full so places in advanced and beginer

If theres a different style you`d like ie blues, jazz etc then a possibility to start one of your own if you wish?

Cheers
Chris

Posted by: Rated Htr Dec 16 2007, 10:59 PM

Don't know how to class me so I'll say beginner...
Style: Synfonic Metal, Power Metal, Death Metal... (from Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, etc...)
Play Guitar xD

Posted by: Smells Dec 16 2007, 11:06 PM

Great m8, we have 3 beginner bands at the moment, two are full (Small Dragons & Cover Bangas) and one is still awaiting more members (Moaning Lisa), have a read up on the bands threads and see which you`d prefer, although they may not be doing any Power Metal/Death Metal atm as with any band you usually have to do songs that arnt exactly what you`d ideally be playing but I think it`ll be a good experience none the less to join up if you wish to join Moaning Lisa then please contact JVM for info, if you prefer the other two then I will place you on a band rota for the next song, let me now and thanks have a read of their threads
Cheers

Posted by: Rated Htr Dec 16 2007, 11:22 PM

Thanks, for the moment, I will contact JVM...

Posted by: Smells Dec 16 2007, 11:25 PM

Excellent! thanks

Posted by: JVM Dec 17 2007, 06:31 AM

Well, the smashing pumpkins can get pretty metal sometimes so perhaps we'll do a song of theirs sometime

Posted by: muntahunta Dec 17 2007, 12:32 PM

i'd like to join a VB.
I can play keyboard (a little bit)
i'd say im a begginer/intermediate guitarist (more begginer latly)
i have cubase sx3, a POD X3, EZdrummer.
ive also been told i can sing like chad kroger (not sure if thats how u spell it) so i guess i could do some vocals too.

if needed i could probably start a band but i noticed that the max is 5 at the moment.

Posted by: Smells Dec 17 2007, 01:01 PM

Cheers for signing up muntahunta, I think theres some room in JVM`s band, if you`d like to contact him directly m8, that`d be gr8! at the moment I`ve only got a couple of people on the rota`s (waiting if you like) if I get lots more then maybe you guys could start a new band, in the meantime, try JVM`s Moaning Lisa group

Posted by: muntahunta Dec 17 2007, 01:04 PM

cool, will do. cheers. gimmee a shout if u get more people

Posted by: coffeeman Dec 17 2007, 05:51 PM

Hi there,

Wow I missed a lot of things during the weekend. So im in for a band. I play guitar in a a beginer intermediate level, I can also sing backing or lead vocals, I really suck at singing but I love it. So where can I go?

Thanks for all this effort smells.

Ahhh my style, thats a good question....rock, hard rock , some heavy stuff, funk, blues, jazz.....

Posted by: Arrival Dec 17 2007, 06:06 PM

I'd totally be down for playing a beginner guitarist spot.

And as for style, I'll play whatever.

Posted by: Zephyr Dec 17 2007, 09:44 PM

Just a suggestion, as I can't do anything like this at the moment, but an instrumental rock band would be awesome, if anyone's up for it! You know, Steve Vai, Andy Timmons, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, that kind of stuff.

Posted by: Smells Dec 17 2007, 10:26 PM

Right, I have 6 (poss with 7 Zephyr?) members

Coffeeman, Arrival, Crazyfret, USAMAN, Soul Decision, Fretdancer69

If you can read the briefs on the already started 5 bands and PM stating which band you`d like to join up for in the future (as I set a temporary limit of 5 bands max to begin with) or ... if one of you thinks you can take on the responsibility of forming a band with the other guys listed above read http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=9492 first and PM me, maybe we can get a sixth band going

Posted by: leedbreak Dec 19 2007, 07:18 PM

Wow, snooze you loose. Did not even see this board till today. Anyway I am up for intermediate level guitar. I can also produce some simple drum and keyboard tracks if needed. Just IM me, thanks.


I do not do the death metal stuff or the screaming singing. Just not me, I am too old for that.

But all older rock, rock and most metal, love the ballad stuff too. Will try backing vocals but no lead singing for me yet.

Posted by: xucphra Dec 22 2007, 07:02 PM

aaa

Posted by: kaznie_NL Dec 22 2007, 08:43 PM

HELL Yeah I like to join. One problem, I live in Holland so you we probably can't train in my garage...xD I'm also having recording troubles and I'm a beginner (I can play frusciante style 1 and two).
I'd love to learn from you guys!
I have somehting in common with coffeeman I see. I love to sing, but it's not always so good... I'd also like to be singer, but I warned you guys k?

ps. Smell, do you get my pm's? you don't seem to answer them but you do answer my forum post

Posted by: Jakub Luptovec Dec 29 2007, 05:40 PM

I really would like to participate too.. I would love to make something with heavy, crushing rythm.. Strongly riff based stuff Pantera style (Walk..), Fear factory (Scumgrief) style or smt. like that:)

I am somewhere between beginner and intermediate, hopefully closer to intermediate:) I would be able to record my things in place, where we practice with our band - we have recording mix there etc.

Along with guitar, I would be able to provide some (back or lead..) vocals (just not high ranges pls, for I am a bass ) I am a little bit sick of singing in two bands though and would rather devote 100% to guitar:)

So, I would prefere some metal-heading band, but anything would work just fine IMO:) The more styles you know, the better human you are:)
In case of metal band, I can provide with guitar riffs, lyrics and singing melodies..

Happy new year:)
Jakub "Phoenix" Luptovec

Posted by: Smells Dec 29 2007, 09:34 PM

Hi Kaznie sorry a little late replying to this, I think we are all sorted now as the last PM I had from you was regarding recording and you managed to record yourself and post something, not had any since from you

Jakub, will add you to my list of awaiting members, I may look to start another band off real soon, keep your eyes peeled in your message box, thanks m8

Posted by: stratman33 Jan 2 2008, 05:46 PM

I would really like to join Cover Bangas if possible at anytime i enjoy playing other people's songs, and since im a beginner at recording, this is the right band for me

Posted by: Smells Jan 2 2008, 05:47 PM

Ok mate no probs, I`ll be in touch with you soon, thanks

Posted by: Melvyn Jan 30 2008, 07:41 PM

I wouldnt mind being a band member, im alright, cant solo very well, used to playing rhythm and singing, but also am a drummer and recording technician in college, so hopefully would be a useful asset to a band


Probably not though

Posted by: Smells Jan 30 2008, 08:27 PM

ok mate, I`ll sort you out something and be in touch by PM

Posted by: Melvyn Jan 30 2008, 08:59 PM

Thanks man

I couldnt like, Make a new band or anything? just wondering

What are the requirements of being in a band? what will i have to do?

Posted by: Siggum Jan 31 2008, 11:13 PM

I'm up for being a band member, guitar and keyboard

id say intermedie level on both instruments.

Posted by: Smells Jan 31 2008, 11:20 PM

ok mate, gimme a bit and I`ll PM ya some info

Posted by: steve25 Feb 19 2008, 11:47 PM

Hey any spaces going at the moment? If not any chance i could start one up? Hoping to join a band in the style of melodic death metal and stuff

Posted by: Smells Feb 19 2008, 11:49 PM

ok mate, interest noted, I`ll get back to ya real soon

thanks

Posted by: Nick325 Feb 23 2008, 08:45 PM

im up for being in a band

Posted by: Sam Hook Feb 24 2008, 12:09 AM

Hey, can you let me know when there there are some spaces available at the moment?

I'm open to what genres I do, pretty much everything except death/black metal.

I could do rhythm guitar or some solos, don't really mind.

Thanks!

Posted by: Anthony Grantham Feb 27 2008, 06:07 AM

I've been working on two songs. My skills aren't the greatest, but I am impressed with what little I've recorded. I would like some help taking these songs to the next level. I believe they both have great potential.

Posted by: Matt23 Mar 8 2008, 09:54 PM

Id like to be in a band. Id say im about intermediate, can play the keyboard sort of well, know quite a lot of theory and can compose. Also im getting a podxt in couple of days. im best at playing metal so id like to be in a rock or metal band.

Posted by: ace_frehely Mar 11 2008, 04:53 AM

Ill be in if you make a beginners, I just dont have recorded equipment, other than my camera.

Posted by: Smells Mar 12 2008, 01:38 AM

Gunna need to be able to record your parts, sorry

Posted by: Enucleation Mar 25 2008, 03:02 AM

I think I could do a band.

I'd say beginner or intermediate, since I don't think I'm a complete noob to recording but, I'm no Peter Tagtgren either.

I can't do bass since I don't own one, sadly, but I can play guitar (obviously XD) and I can get a pretty decent death metal growl. I'd say it would be best for me to join a metal band, but I could give others a try. Just don't expect me to be Alans Holdsworth or something in Jazz.

Posted by: ngqu Mar 29 2008, 06:15 PM

I;ll join ive only been playing for a year im an ok soloist

Posted by: Iluha May 27 2008, 12:33 PM

Ok so I thought about it.. and I realised that I won't be able to reopen my VB for atleast the next 7 months as I simply don't have the time to deal with mixing and organization.

So I thought that atleast for now I'll join another VB, I'm willing to play any style, so let me know if there's an opening..

Posted by: [email protected] May 28 2008, 05:30 AM

Hey! I would love to join a virtual band on GMC. I consider myself around Intermediate - Advanced, I just got a new pandora so im ready to do some recordings. Give me a shout if u have an open spot for a guitarist

Posted by: Sami May 29 2008, 09:20 PM

Hey im a guitarist and i consider my self at an kinda intermediate level but not rereally, ive been playing for a year but i practice ALOT. Im dedicated and would love to collaborate with anyone

Posted by: SchecterSyn360 May 31 2008, 05:18 AM

man this is such a cool idea !! im up for anything along the metalocre / metal genre !! skill wise im upper intermediate to advanced

Posted by: Hammerin Hank May 31 2008, 06:45 AM

I have an interest in this. I believe I am advanced.....can't play like Muris "advanced" but I can hold my own. I do also play bass and piano and I'm open to all styles. If I can't generate ideas I am up front and will not put you off. Oh and for the record I sleep twice a week at the moment so I am ready and able to do this.........hold on let me suck back this Guinness OK.......now I'm ready

Posted by: Oxac Jun 5 2008, 10:49 PM

Posted by: Antipolitik Jun 11 2008, 04:31 PM

Eya, I've been so arghhh busy at work, haven't been able to sit in the studio for some time now but today I got
some well deserved 4 week holiday... insane!

I'd like to be in a band if there's any band that is Candlemass, Slayer-like?
Or else I could form a band as a singer and maybe people join my band?
Heavy Candlemass riff should go just fine with my voice I think.
Note:
I am a rookie vocally but I want to start this band so I can concentrate on the lyrics and vocals.

Now I sit with drum programming, bass, guitar, mix, master and when I finally reach the vocal part
I am tired of the song, the studio and myself hahaha ... so now I want to take a break from guitar play
and try to see if there's any nice vocal in me.

I'd prefer drop DGCFAD stuff like Candlemass, as a vocal sample I just sang the first verse of "Man of shadows", you can find it here: http://www.myspace.com/antipolitik4u (at the top)

Anyway... stay metal

I wanna be a band member. I'm into technical stuff, and ballads... etc.

Posted by: skennington Jun 29 2008, 06:42 PM

Thanks for your interest in VB's kjutte. If you don't mind, could you have a read up on the guidelines that Smells has set forth. You can find them http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=9492.Once you have the necessary criteria, pm me and we'll get the ball rolling!

Thanks again,
Steve

Cool!

Posted by: Sondre Jul 26 2008, 06:10 PM

I would also like to join a virtual band! Been playing for 10 months, and play many different styles. Metallica-ish stuff prefered. I dont play bass, but have one electric and one acoustic guitar. Im on vacation at the moment, but I will check out the possibilities to record when i come home. I am quite sure my amp can record, but will check it out when i come home! And yeah, speak english, or swe/dan/norsk! : D

- Sondre

Posted by: skennington Jul 26 2008, 06:41 PM

Sounds good Sondre! When you get back from vacation, pm me and we'll go over a few things about the bands and what's expected of the members. Also a few guidlines but nothing major. Hope your having a great vacation!

Cheers,
Steve

I have talked it over with Iluha and i have decided to quit my band a join a new on......

Posted by: skennington Jul 27 2008, 04:57 PM

I'll send you a PM superize...

Posted by: superize Jul 29 2008, 02:21 PM

I really hope that someone want to start a new metal band with me

Posted by: Scorpiotic Aug 17 2008, 11:35 PM

Hey

Anyone got an opening for a beginner/intermidate guitarist? Playing most sub-genres of rock, metal and blues (though more of a "melodic" player than "speed/shredder" (yet))

So please send me a PM ^^

Posted by: Xuestor Aug 21 2008, 06:05 PM

I'd like to try out! I'm pretty new to recording though..... and level, well, I can play rythm PRETTY good, and solos will do with practice, nothing speedy!! fastest I know is the sweet child solo! I like rock, classic rock, ACDC, metallica, GNR deep purple led zeppelin and such. Let me know if there are any spots available. As a guitarist that is...

Posted by: wollace03 Aug 21 2008, 07:03 PM

i wanna join a virtual band, too.
i think i am an intermediate player and like everything - but my heart lies in rock and metal (iron maiden, ...)
so, lets rock!!

Posted by: skennington Aug 21 2008, 07:14 PM

Why don't you three get together and talk. You seem to have similar styles.....

Posted by: paulgomez638 Aug 21 2008, 07:48 PM

i want to join. i usually play lead. mostly metal. and pop punk stuff. like Avenged Sevenfold and the red jumpsuit apparatus type of stuff

Posted by: juangar1992 Aug 22 2008, 06:34 PM

i wanna join a band, im kinda like an intermediate guitar player, i play drums any style is fine, but metal is prefered (power).

Posted by: Velvet Roger Aug 23 2008, 10:13 AM

Hi,

If possible I would like to give it a shot as well. Consider myself somewhere between beginner /intermediate level, depending on the technique, speeds etc.

I like most styles but play quite a lot of blues, rock and some jazzy stuff.

Cheers,

Roger

- Sent you guys a PM, lets see if we can work something out

- Bass player and singer still needed, anyone? ^^

Posted by: Iron King Aug 24 2008, 09:54 AM

This sounds like a great way to learn

Anybody up for an 80's style Thrash band?
The type of metal that just makes you wanna scream and headbang!

I noticed a few people interested in metal, but I don't know if you guys are in bands yet?!

I play guitar and would consider myself intermediate. I can handle rhythm and some non shredding solos

just a quick question though, I'm just clarifying that I need to do a collab before being able to participate in a virtual band?

oh and just a quick suggestion:
would it be possible to have a page that shows all the current and upcoming bands, and what positions they need filled?

Posted by: Scorpiotic Aug 25 2008, 06:51 AM

ye you gotta submit a take to a collab to be able to make/join a virtual band

and thats a good suggestion ^^

Posted by: Minz80 Sep 21 2008, 12:01 AM

Wow no one has registered since August? ...
Well I'm not sure this registration topic is still alive but I'll register!

Level: Beginner-Intermediate (In the middle of beginner and intermdiate. No one's ever rated me so I don't know)
Style: I'm open to any style but I prefer Rock (any style of Rock). I also like the Blues (especially if it's Bluesy rock!)

Definitely a good idea.

Posted by: skennington Sep 21 2008, 12:07 AM

Hi Minz80, glad you registered! Do you have recording gear? If so, could take a look at some of the open collabs and jump in on one so we can get you out there for any of the bands looking for new members.

Posted by: Minz80 Sep 21 2008, 12:10 AM

The only recording 'gear' I have is Audacity (it's like Reaper).
I just did a collab here: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=19597
I had some troubles with the backtrack getting picked up by the mic but now I know to use headphones

Posted by: gnrrock Sep 21 2008, 12:24 AM

Id love to be a band member - i havnt rlly been online that much in the past couple of weeks or so- but if i was in a band id probably b on every day id say im about an intermediate guitar player and im into rock n roll- Guns N Roses, AC/DC, Deep Purple Aerosmith but im also into metal like Metallica, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Symphony X

Posted by: Minz80 Sep 21 2008, 12:28 AM

I <3 Guns N' Roses! (I think Slash is hot!...when he was younger of course!)
Edit: Most of you won't think that though

Posted by: Sami Oct 7 2008, 12:40 AM

i would really like to be part of a band here. I play guitar (of course haha) and ive been playing for around 1 and a half years and consider my self some what intermediate. My heart is with metal but i would love to play anything really.

Posted by: kaznie_NL Oct 20 2008, 03:45 PM

Hey guys, VB Men in Blues might have some place for new members. Check our board, within some days, you'll see a thread there about us searching you!

We are a beginner/intermediate band. I'm more beginner, Coffeeman is more intermediate (maybe even a bit advanced). We play mainly Blues and Rock, but of course we can always discuss this. Right now we're busy with Two Princess, from the spindoctors.

EDIT: these positions are overtaken now

pls no more entries!

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 20 2008, 03:48 PM

I really need to join an active band. I'm dying to join. As long as things go ok with doctors tonight I'm always available to record. Please somebody let me join lol.

Posted by: skennington Dec 15 2008, 04:06 AM

Hang tight bro, going to be some opportunity in the near future.

Posted by: jollygreengiant Dec 15 2008, 09:03 PM

ill give it a go, but i dont have any decent recording programs, can someone suggest one?

Posted by: skennington Dec 15 2008, 10:18 PM

If you need a recording interface and software, I would suggest the Line 6 Toneport (now pod studio) along with Reaper as your digital audio workstation (DAW)

Many members here use this set-up and is one of the most affordable.

As for the bands, stay tuned, some exiting things are in the making!

Hey Matt, thanks for your interest man. Stay tuned as the format will be changing a bit. Still have a few things to sort out.

Posted by: Tolek Dec 26 2008, 05:03 PM

Hey there!
I want to start a band, but I don´t know exactly what to do. Canis, Paiva, Kuba and me were chatting yesterday and everybody was up for it. Anyone else maybe? We planned to do any style (from Classic to Metal), cover songs and record our own material.

Posted by: jer Dec 26 2008, 05:19 PM

Ohhh whats up skenny?

Changes?

I'm still very interested in this. Go For Broke's current project isnt inspiring me as I had hoped it would though...

Ohhhh, I think I see whats going down here.

I was thinking on joining in on the fun with a virtual band.

Posted by: Tolek Dec 26 2008, 05:23 PM

Yeah, why not? You can join the new band if you want.

Posted by: opeth.db Dec 26 2008, 05:26 PM

Thanks for the invite Tolek. ALthough Im not sure if my level of talent will be enough. Aren't we our own worst critics?

Im looking at how Skenny is creating new forums...

Posted by: jer Dec 26 2008, 05:27 PM

Yeah Opeth, Why not?

Tear it up man!!!

Posted by: Tolek Dec 26 2008, 05:32 PM

Opeth, each level is welcome. We will of course consider your skills.

Posted by: jer Dec 26 2008, 05:34 PM

I see ya lurking there Skenny. OUT WITH IT!!!!!

Posted by: skennington Dec 26 2008, 05:34 PM

Hey guys,

If I could ask you to hang tight for just a little longer. Just polishing things up a bit. Once we have it rolled out, there will be something for everyone..

Posted by: jer Dec 26 2008, 05:37 PM

Grrrr......

GMC is awesome. Forever evolving. Continuing to be greater and greater.

You guys rule.

Posted by: Canis Dec 26 2008, 06:45 PM

I'm up for it, of course =)

Posted by: Tolek Dec 26 2008, 06:47 PM

Cool, Canis. But where to start?

Posted by: opeth.db Dec 26 2008, 06:48 PM

Thanks Tolek.

Lemme know what you guys decide or come up with. Love to join.

Posted by: Tolek Dec 26 2008, 06:53 PM

Ok, opeth. Of course. It´s cool to how so many volunteers. I´ll inform you when something is running.

Posted by: opeth.db Dec 26 2008, 07:25 PM

Cool. Can't wait for the customized Jems to be sent out from ya

Posted by: Canis Dec 26 2008, 07:53 PM

Weird how many people who sends out those

Posted by: Tolek Dec 26 2008, 07:56 PM

What?

Posted by: Canis Dec 26 2008, 11:04 PM

Some holy book says that: "Thy who starts a Virtual Gathering of Musicians, shall spread JEM's to thee who shall joineth," or something like that

Posted by: Tolek Dec 26 2008, 11:05 PM

You are crazy, Canis!

Posted by: Jesse Dec 28 2008, 01:06 PM

I' m Interested in joining a VB! I just like to play in a group with projects to work on. I' d say im about.. intermediate -- I like to play alot of styles, blues - bluesrock - rock - hardrock - jazz - metal.

Posted by: slash48 Jan 3 2009, 12:57 AM

I'd love to join but I'm a little confused as to how this works because I've already said I'll sign up in the intermediate band sub forum and they said they pick 5 band members at random each month to join a band but here you just find people and create a band. Any help would be great. Thank You!

Posted by: skennington Jan 3 2009, 01:35 AM

Hi Slash,

Basically the three level band categories that will be rotated is another way of creating some more activity. You can certainly post your interest in both if you like.

If you have a look around the threads in the sub forum, you will find some completed projects from band mates that work together on a consistent basis. Either way, I would love to see you get involved over here!

Posted by: enforcer Jan 3 2009, 01:44 AM

Me too I want to be a virtual band member, mainly I focus on guitars in which I consider myself intermediate, I dont have a bass guitar even though I would gladly play. I can do vocals, I got a baritone voice, I can play some basic keyboards etc.

Well thats all. If you are intrested contact me and one final note, I love gmc

Posted by: slash48 Jan 3 2009, 03:24 AM

Then I guess I'll join. I'm an intermidite guitarist who likes playing classic rock and blues like led zeppilen, guns n roses, and eric clapton. I don't have any experiance with recording but I will learn all about it as soon as I can, and I'm not the best at making songs but I'm good at covering. I know all my pentatonic major and minor patterns and can improvise in blues though. Thanks for all the help.

Posted by: Viking Panda Jan 3 2009, 04:03 AM

I'll sign up here as well as the rotating board. I am beginner/intermediate guitarist. I like metal, rock, jazz, country, and blues (kind of).

Posted by: Sondre Feb 26 2009, 05:57 PM

I would like to join a band. Beginner - Intermediate somewhere. Guitar, i have been in one collab, started by Emir. I had to quit the last two because of school and vacations but should have some time in the future!

Posted by: IzzyCom Mar 7 2009, 05:45 PM

Hi there,

I'm interested to join a band as a vocalist (intermediate/advanced), mostly alternative rock, or garage rock,

Are there such bands in here?

Thx

Posted by: NoSkill Apr 7 2009, 05:56 PM

Drummer for hire! I have Roland V-Tour Drums setup in my studio. I can play most styles but am least comfortable with metal. If a virtual band is in need of a drummer with a pulse, let me know.

I can happily play intermediate and advanced levels depending on musical styles and am happy to send an audition recording to see if I fit your needs.

Cheers!

Posted by: stevie ray hey hey hey Apr 20 2009, 08:36 AM

Hello, I came to register and to try and reach that level of awsomeness in playing and songwriting that provides you with pride, fun and feeling good about yourself (and maybe some chicks:-) sorry I mean girls


can you record music with an internet band, that might be what I'm looking for. I'm not a band leader, I only join the bandmembers of the round table.

Please everybody talk to me if your interested in worldwide cooperation in working out songs and idea's. I think it would be very nice to have an internet band, but I never knew how to start one...

about me, you can compare me with everybody, but I don't resemble anyone. I don't follow theoretical guidelines because I don't know any (am working on that), but I have many idea's, tons of motivation, I can play what you tell me to play (memorizig is the hard part for me) except for difficult techniques and speed maybe. I don't believe in the use for me personally of focussing on sweep picking and all, need to learn much more important stuff first...

My musical influence:

Jimi Hendrix, SRV, Dire straits, Eric Johnson, stevie wonder, bob dylan, jeff buckley, nirvana, Metallica, megadeth, death, pantera, Acdc, black sabbath, zz top, johnny guitar watson, van halen, randy rhoads, rage against the machine, red hot chili peppers (first 3 albums only), pink floyd, rolling stones, pearl jam, smashing pumpkins, and some random stuff....
and of course every other blues/funk/rock/hard rock/metal song I ever heard and liked. These bands influenced me for playing guitar, writing songs/riffs , writing lyrics, how to behave in daily life, what to dream about, which drugs to use and which not to use, not buying guns, don't use airplanes/helicopters at age 27, never growing old and living a litlle bit of the rock life/attitude when poosible and sometimes when not possible still... But that's what I do...

I got a new hobby since a few weeks, writing song lyrics and writing+arranging full songs (in the past I only got as far as recording riffs or jam loops...

For me good songs have: groove or sentiment/feeling , a meaning of some kind (unless they are about meaninglessness), special moments (fills, bridges) structure and fun (when songs are as perfect as perfect can be)


I will stop now, because I am writing too much and forgot why I am writing this reply


Oh yeh, start a band...


contact me if you would rather go for a combination of luck, feel, fun and anything is possible-ness


my level... undetermined, certainly not the highest, but in some ways beginner, and in some way on the flipside of intermediance ... yeah I took another road... nah I'm just full of crap :-) I'll take beginner, I don't like pulling the group level % down. I'd like to be on the initiative and idea thinking side of productions. I play guitar, I would play bass if I had one. I can sound like one though, but I can't play slapping with a regular guitar... and that sucks, cause slapping is one of the coolest things ever invented. Recently I started exploring my singing qualities, but haven't got great results yet.. But at least I learned to sing and play guitar at the same time, very usefull and fun... for that matter I lack some confidence and practice... but Rome wasn't built in one day, so... you know...





my valuable lesson in life for today:
If you believe you are awsome... you probably suck ass.. but still strife for awsomeness, cause nothing would be more awsome... yeah, think about that... (better don't)

Hi All,


I would like to join a Blues VB or anything to do with Pink Floyd. I would consider myself as an advanced beginner.

Thanks.

I wouldn't mind doing Pink Floyd. I'm also an advanced beginner. I can do synth parts as well.
