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... :\

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

I'll give it a shot!

Good man!!!!

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!

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

Cool thanks!!

Nice avatar btw

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

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.

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

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

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

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

yeah sure im in

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

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!

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)

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

okay sounds good and no problem with normal tuning

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

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

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

Yeah, sure cool thanks

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!

Nvm Small dragons is cool

I'll go for broke. sounds fun!

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

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!)

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

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.

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

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

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)

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

sweet

I join the "Cover Bangas"

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

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

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.

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

Yeah I wanna be a member!

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

i would like to be either bass or guitar

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

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

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!

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!

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.
