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!

Just play the notes that are there.  If you know chords, you can add them with your left hand and improvise.  Add harmony notes to the single notes for riffs or variety. \nA single note tabulature can be a starting point using that melody to create your own music.

Just think creative and be urself when writtin a song, just write about what u do or about a relationship going wrong

U LIVE IN INDIA!! See if any of your friends have drums, you can use to pratice with. I would love to be in a band I would be the songwriter and singer, but you probably don't live in Ohio. Just ask your friends, if there interested. If not post flyers around school.

Coming from someone who is in a rock band:\nGet a job! lol The easiest solution to your problem. To get a successful band going you are going to need a lot of money, and dedicated members who are willing to invest money into it as well. Just to give you an idea, my band just released our full length album this month, and it cost us over $5,000 to get it recorded and produced professionally. That doesn't include promoting and whatnot for our CD release show.\n\n Once you get something together email me at xxneonzombiexx@hotmail.com and I will show you how to get a cheap website that looks great!\n\nBrandon Zahn\n-(Guitar)-\nReflection\nwww.reflectionband.com

first create a mixer.  then create a drum machine and makes suer it's plugged in correctly by flipping around to the back.  Now play with the drum machine until you lay a fat beat.  Your started.\n\neverything else is reading the manual and experimentation.

I agree with what everyone eles said it depends on how good you are and how famous you may become.  Seeing as your well experienced with the instuments, all you have to do now is get someone to hear you play. someone that can help you out

HI MUM! If I could be the drummer in any band I would drum in Blink 182,  Alkaline Trio or the Ramones.

Just follow that dream.  Get together with the most talented musicians that you can find and get a band going.  Start practicing.  Write your own songs.  Play locally.  See what happens.\n\nDon't put all your faith in music.  You'll probably want to keep a day job to pay the bills.

Write music and practice.  Have a vision for yourself first... then you can bring people into it.  Post ads or check flyers at music stores.  It's going to be trial and error for awhile to find the right musicians.  You'll know when you find the right ones.

umm.\n\nWithout downloading a software makes this a very tough question.  I do believe I might have an answer though.\n\nyou can use MySpace.com   if the band has a MySpace page you might be able to download a limited amount of songs from there.\n\nyou can also do this.   streamline (play) the song from the internet.  Through Yahoo! Launch or whatever & just record the song.  but that still basically requires you to download a software unless you have a Voice Recorder.\n\nThat's the best I can think of.  Sorry, about not being able to help you any more than that.

drummer is always the hard part. It takes a few months to get decent at guitar and like 5 years to get decent at drums.  Most slackers don't stick with it. when you find a drummer thats at all good, treat them like gold.

yea-if you've got the style and personality, and have good songs. i'd suggest being the rhythm guitar player though, not lead, if you're okay. find a killer lead guitarist, bassist and drummer and you're set. just promise you won't sound anything like simple plan.

First things first...simply agree to be in a band, and practice together until you feel you are good enough to record a CD! The, when you are, see if there are any local recording studios in your area (often colleges and universities will have them..) and hire one out for a period of time to lay down a CD! Then, get copies of this CD, and send it out to as many record companiies as poss.
