my friend is an incredibly good lead guitarist and I am decent but not as fast and would be the rhythm guitarist if we started a band..

you can do wrist curls to increase the strength and staminia of your wrists, by tying a weight to a broomstick with rope and rolling it up and down slowly 10-20 times a day. for accuracy you can begin working on a lick with a metronome at about 100 BPM or slower, and then learn it at one speed until you have it perfect, and progressively speed it up one step at a time until you can play it at tempo. musically, being a rhythm guitarist is about time and attitude, as with any rhythm section (referring to bass and drums). you want to try and follow the soloist's solos by following dynamics and stuff. also be alert, play the right chords at the right time and know where you are in the progression.

What you can do is, get people from all parts of the world.\nTell them to record stuff and send you. Then you can compile everything together and there you go.\n\nI can do as a dj/synth/guitarist for your band....think about it...

If you're in a band but you never play, then you're not in a real band.  Real bands practice (usually) a few times a week, or even a month, but if you don't play together you'll never get better or get any good gigs.\n\nWriting your own music is a plus, but some people just don't have that ability, I suppose.  But just because a band copies the style of another doesn't necessarily make it a "poser band".  It could be a tribute band, or just a band that has been heavily influenced by a prior band.\n\nBeing a poser is being something or someone that you're not.  If you love and live the music, it doens't make you a poser.  I think you would be more of a poser if you played a certain kind of music and tried to put forward a fake face, even though you knew deep down that your heart wasn't really in it.

alright, true story. watch the movie pcu, the part at the end where the tour bus stops to pick up gutter, the driver of the bus with pfunk is named louie. i know this dude. he is george's good friend, plays in the band. (the only white guy) but he is usually wearing a costume hiding his white skin. anyways, we were talking last month about george. he plays alot of instruments, he only ever recorded piano parts on parliment/funkadelic records but doesn't play anything live. it prevents him from dancing around and he says everyone in the band can play everything better than me so why should i do it.

it depends on the music you are going to use and what skills you are good at. if you put them in a routine then you should be good.

A real friend would like you for who you are and not what kind of music you listen to.  Friends don't always have to agree on music choices to get along, but I'm sure there are people who like The Beatles.  (I'm one of them)

Well, I personally feel that they shouldn't.  But they have been togetther for quite a long time.  Some band members might feel that its time to move on and find better pastures or find new challenges.  There might be few who might be thinking of starting  a solo career or may be having other commercial or private interests.

Nirvana is pretty good, and it's cool that you like them enough to learn alot of their songs. My recomendation, learn the more popular Nirvana songs, and your favorite songs, and then branch out to some other artists. If you ever play guitar for your friends, I am almost positive they would rather hear a variety of music rather than just nirvana over and over again.

I hate to say it, but I think that you are out of luck on this one.  The music industry generally does not accept unsolicited material.  One chance you might have it to approach a local band or musician and show them your work.  Good luck

in a jam session you usually just follow along with what the others are playing. you have to have good improv skills. just work on some riffs and start playing them and the others should just fall in behind you. when they play something you just fall in with them and play along. it helps if you know the songs the other people play, so if they start playing something, then you can play along. get an idea of the songs they usually play.  goodluck!!

I think it would sound cool, as long as you can keep the electric guitars and drums from drowning out your acoustic guitars. Use mikes or pick-ups for the acoustics, and go for it! Rock on!!!

i play the guitar, and i would loooove to play in a band. (i'm seventeen) it's kinda hard to find musicians my age around here though, so i've never really been in one

bass players and drummers have the unique ability to write their own ticket in so far as being able to pick up a gig pretty much anywhere. I'd make the decision based on one of two factors.\n1.Which band has better dynamics in so far as band memebers being personable? No one wants to stay in a band with people they hate.\n2.Musically which band is writing better material? Even if the folks in the other band are cool and the music sucks or their playing skills aren't up to yours you're eventually going to realise they are holding you back and quit.\nDynamics and personality are a big part of the picture so decide which is more important and if you can have your cake and eat it too so much the better.

As lead guitarist in a church band, I was heavily influenced by Jimmy Page of Led Zep in my younger years. Isn't it amazing how God can take something worldly and turn it around for His glory? I even play a sunburst Les Paul in church through a tube amp. To God be the glory.
