I did not know where to put this because I didn't want to annoy people by putting it in a regular discussion thread. I am a kid, basically, and I have a band. However, I'm having a lot of trouble getting off the ground (i.e. playing shows...). Because I'm young, I can't play in bars, or clubs like other starter musicians, it's been really hard to get a gig. I was wondering if there were any GMCers that could give me advice on how to get started. HERE'S an old thread with the same question. And hopefully you'll get even more answers now that the forum has grown This post has been edited by MickeM: Jan 22 2008, 12:34 AM -------------------- My bands homepage

Try applying for demo band contests and high school gigs..Thats always a good start !
And be patient because at one moment (now) it may look difficult to get gigs etc but in a near future and when you get to know the right people it will be very easy and you will be gigging all the time..Just practice hard and stay focused on your goals and they will be fulfilled.. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I'm not sure of your age but if you really want to get in the bars
then use spare time until proper age to upgrade skills,your own and band's of course. Along with that,as many said above,try applying for some school contest,record demo CD, play at your friend's party,options are endless indeed. Just play,gigs will come as natural thing,trust me,but PLAY. -------------------- Youtube

Take your time man, gigs will come, and if you really practice and play hard, you will be playing bigger gigs that you could ever think of

Perhaps rent out a hall? I know that's what my band is doing. We went a hall for one night and invite everyone we know in town with a small entrance fee Now that IS a good idea -------------------- Youtube
