There is always a place for something new! If you came out with a CD i'd buy it! I'm always into something new! I love country and Rock, Your style (evenescense) I really like that kind of stuff! Not so much Rap it gives me a headache sometimes! If you've come out with a demo tape that is pretty cool but if you feel your good and you get good reviews then go for it! Try it! Nothing says that you can't try! You tried to make a band and you have one now don't you? Good Luck and hope you make it! I'll be sure to get your CD =) Just fill me in when it comes out if I don't see your music videos lol =)

There's Metro Music at Bank St (between clemow and pretoria) They have good products and good support even though they're small. Songbird Music is just off Bank St. on Gladstone Ave. (They sell used equipment, but be sure you know what you want before you go in there. I once had them tell me one year after I bought an $800 guitar that it wasn't worth $200 when I tried to sell it back to them...they're thieves!) There's also The Folklore Center on the south side of the canal. They have an excellent choice but they tend to be a bit more expensive. My first choice would be Metro Music.

There was another question about guitars and every girl said she thought it was super sexy. I play guitar, drums, piano and can sing. Piano can be sexy it you know how to play it correctly.\n\nAnd Miss China Doll, what is a rock bank because I want an account in that!

So, your skill is awesome, eh?? ^_^\n\nMaybe you can teach me a thing or two, btw I try to find someone who can play a lot of musical instrument and have a great sense of music. I don't want to be cocky, but I'm 18 years old boy and I know a lot of classical music. I've been playing guitar for 3 years and I have made a lot of songs. But I don't publish it, and mostly I forgot it after 6-7 days. ^_^\n\nBut I want to find someone who have a great sense of music, because all my friends know how to sing, to play musical instrument, but doesn't have a sense. Just play it like a copycat, and honestly, I don't like it....

I am with ya. There really is nothing left to do. I will be going to the Highlands to go fishing, but that is all I can think of. As for the nightlife....there are not any good live bands to go see anymore! What part of our lovely armpit state are you from?

Get a Taylor or a Martin, those are the best acoustic guitars, go to http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ and look for acoustic guitars, they have a ton.

I recently found a band called Ka'Nal.  They are great, and I know that there is a live show available for free download on Archives.com.  They incorporate sounds from a lot of different cultures.

Being a good friend. They're few and far between. Almost anyone can do the others that you listed with little to no effort. (Yes, that includes playing the guitar)

1 When did you decide to be a rock musician?\nWell I've always loved rock music and playing the guitar and drums is like breathing for me, I just can't live without my music.So when i was 15, i started to form my own band and then when i was 17 we job discovered at one of our small gigs in a small london bar.\n\n2 Describe a typical day?\nGet up, breakfast, get down to the studio and record some songs for our new alblum, write some more songs and then design an alblum cover. Plan the next tour, and concert.\n\n3 Is your job dangerous?\nNot really, so fans can be a bit crazy, but apart from that it's cool.\n\n4 What are your plans for the future? \nWell I plan to keep on writing my music, playing with my band and going a few more tours and concerts. And I've been thinking about doing a PHD in Physics.

My band uses a site called Gigmaster to look for jobs.  It has a bunch of bands and their styles, pictures, etc. and you can find ones in your area that look good and ask them for quotes.

Definitely stick with it.  Glad to hear you're starting with acoustic; alot of people start with electric and I think it robs them a little.  Acoustic takes a little more to play because the action of the fretboard is greater and bends and hammer-ons have to be done more crisply.  I learned with tabs you can find on any of hundreds of tabulature sites.  Once you get the timing down you'll pick it up.
