make sure you know what they want(what style of guitarist) and then make sure you know what piece you are going to play.. dont look too flashy.. its a lot about knowing what the band is all about.. go with their flow dont create your own flow. when you get there stick with your piece dont try anything too flashy but use something you know will impress them.. and dont use a piece which has been used to death unless you can play it differently.. as for warming upo if they dont let you warm up there do it at home. just before the audition.. use scales and arpeggios and tear it up to warm up really fast.. even at the audition when checking your guitar use scales and arpeggios to warm up your hand.. stay cool get into the whole thing and be passionate. good luck.. (for punk use stuff from finch.. blues and rock and roll use ACDC or black sabbath.. iron maiden goes well with rock.. do not use hotel california unless you can really make it sound groovy.. and thats hard so dont.. guns and roses you could use but its slightly overused now.. metal use mega death... tough but good stuff.. their riffs are really fast.. and oh yea if you get to use a warm up song and you have a supporting guitarist use grab the devil by the horns.. never fails.)

I vote Neil Peart! He is an awesome drummer! You need to check out his most current drum instruction video...man, it just blows me away. He's the back bone of Rush...the most awesome band in the world! \n\nNot only is he a drummer, but a outstanding writter. He writes all the lyrics for Rush, not Getty Lee or Alex. He writes from the heart, it always brings chills to my spine when I hear a great lyric! He is also and established writter, check out some of his books. \n\nHe is a man who has been through so much...lost a wife and a daughter.

The biggest thing is that you all do need to agree on what genre that the band will be.  That is probably the most important thing to keep in mind even before asking the people to be a part of the group.\n\nI have seen first-hand too many times when a musician doesn't like the music they are playing and it hurts the performance.  Skilled musicians can play various genres, but they typically will have a real passion for certain ones.  For a band to really be good (beyond just having good musicians) you need to have people that really "get" the music.  Without that, you only have someone playing notes and not making music.

KISS will always and forever be rock gods!  They are one of the greatest bands of all times.  Ace Frehley is my favorite...  I've always like the guitar players, and he's just awesome...

Don't look  to form a whole band all at once...you don't even have to have each insturment to have one.  Check out Sleater-Kinney-no bass but they rock!  Some bands even use drum machines to create sounds. Get a keyboard/synth and record sounds while you play the guitar(is that what you play?) Then you'll meet people who fit your style. Good luck!
