Just starting out

You might of just bought your first instrument, or looking for a first or last band. Either way, you havn't started out just yet.

Basically before you rush into a band make sure you know ehat the consequences are. If your taking this as a serious career maybe? Or even just as a hobby.

Anyway lets get started. this guide wil be broken down into small parts for easier reading.
First of all, Practice like crazy. You need some sort of talent or experience before even attempting to go for it, i'm guessing you already love music as your reading this guide.
Get a private tutor,read books watch videos or even ask a friend.

Once you think your ready gather a band or group. Be careful who you chose as your band mates, you need to work things out together learn each others techniques. Being in a band is about teamwork! Why do you think alot of bands split up? And one thing, don't head on stage pissed. It doesn't help, But this is later to come.

I'll leave it up to you to start the band, you know best about your abilities and no one is right minded to judge that. Once your ready move onto the next step.

Writing songs & covers

Got a band together? Worked things out ? Well if so let's move onto writing or covering songs.

Firstly, Be unique don't try to follow another bands footsteps. Else you'll never make it trust me. Insperations are fine, a bit of courage is healthy for you and your musical sidekicks.

When choosing to write a song, keep it simple but affective. this can be difficult you cant scoop up a smash hit overnight, but eventually good lyrics will come to you. I'll show you the structure of a good and bad song;

Bad lyrics:

" I walked down the road, i got run over by a car.
I carried on walking down the road, but i was dead"

These lyrics will be imposible to make into a song, also it doesn't make sense.

Good lyrics:

"Now i know, memorys are hard to go
Feeling like fire
Breathing low."

This is the right structure of lyrics, this is a verse. the chorus is the main riff of the voice. Such as "Tears don't fall, they crash around me" this is quoted from tears dont fall by bullet for my valentine.

This isn't a very good guide, fairly vague etc. and most the stuff you posted in your toc isn't even covered. on top of that I won't bother checking but the wording makes me think you leeched it from somewhere.

 

One word Myspace! On the first day our band made a myspace and we just started out we had someone already asking us to play. lol Myspace pretty much right now is a very good way to start out and get heard.

 

My brother had a myspace for his band. He got pretty big...
