Well, first you have to know what type of music your into, and do you wanna work in a band, alone with a singer, one man band etc. When you decide (supposedly you wanna play in a band), than you must find a band that will work for you. You must watch the band advert on finding new musicians some time, and when you have the chance grab it. Then you can play the shows relatively easily, since you can find a gig that needs a band of your profile.

Well we spent 2 years as cover band.. and now are slowly changing on our own songs.. I think its good to start on covers since you get a lot of experiences (if you are sensitive...) on composing progess of other artists.. so first of all, I would do say.. 15 covers.. especially, if you are beginner band with no experiences on board etc..

Well, it is very bad of course and some covers are welcome on some gigs it depends. Booing is something that a band's fault mainly, either being too unprofessional, or bad contact with an audience, or sometimes the audience simply don't likes them even if they are good, but that is very rare imo.
I think the main thing for you to do man, is to search for a band on adverts or from your friends. And don't get in the band just because it is your first oportunity, talk to band members see how serious they are about playing and gigging, know their commitment and then if you are alright with that then join in. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
