How to Play Guitar - The Truth About Forming a Band

We learn by doing and the best way to learn guitar is to play in a band. There is only so much you can learn from a teacher or a book; the trick is to thoroughly apply and test your knowledge and skills before adding new information.

What better way to accelerate your guitar playing than forming your own group or joining an existing one?

Since most players frequently end up in a group without too much thought about how they got there or where they are going I thought it might be a good idea to present some of the musical 'facts of life' about forming or participating in a band.

Problem #1 - The band practices endlessly but never seems to be going anywhere

Solution - Start with clear expectations. Before you commit to a musical group ask questions: find out (a) what style of music the band plays or intends to play, (b) what are the band's goals, i.e., to perform live, record a demo, go on tour (c) what are the time frames for each goal?

Don't be afraid to ask questions it will ultimately save you a lot of wasted time and money and aggravation?

Problem #2 - Certain band members are always missing band practice

Solution - Be brutally honest, because the group is only as good as it's weakest member ask yourself... is player 'X' in this group because they are a dedicated musician committed to the group's goals or are they in the band by default because the group needed a bass player and 'X' was the only person they knew; so the group members convinced 'X' to learn to play bass?

I mentioned earlier that a band is only as good as it's weakest member; the trick is to make certain the weakest member is never you; keep your eye out for the weakest member and notice if there is any sign of improvement over a four week period, if not... move on!

By constantly working on your musical skills you keep your options open and pull opportunities towards you.

Problem #3 - Personality clashes

Solution - No band can function when the members are not working in harmony. Regardless of how talented a player is, if you cannot get along with them on a personal level, musically you won't work either. You have to be friends first before the music will work; top musicians care about and support each other... if that's not happening... leave!

Problem #4 - Disputes over who owns equipment etc.

Quite often a player is in the group for non-musical reasons most of the time these people have little or no talent but because they own the P.A or have a van to move the equipment or their brother has a recording studio; all of a sudden these musical light weights are directing or influencing the band's future.

Solution - Always make sure you own your equipment... when it comes to community owned equipment, forget it. It's every man or women for themselves.

This problem is compounded and more obvious when a group splits up (and they do, often) who owns what; who is liable for the equipment payments, who has the responsibility of paying the recording studio account for past recording session, CD mastering?

Once the group has disbanded no one wants anything to do with it or it's financial commitments... but someone has to pay; make sure it's not you!

Problem #5 - Buying equipment for other band members.

This is a trap, many times group members rally together to buy some piece of equipment for a band member who appears to be financially disadvantaged or who is at least lagging behind in the equipment quality department.

Solution - Never do this! If they aren't committed enough to upgrade their equipment they aren't committed enough to be in your group.

I remember back in when I was starting out how my brother and I were so keen to have our group sound good not only did we foot the bill for our own equipment and the group's PA system we also started to by good quality cymbals for our 'lame duck' drummer.

Long story short, once we finally woke up to senses and disbanded the group the drummer sold his entire drum kit (expensive cymbals and all) he quit playing music all together... it's a pity he didn't quit earlier, it would have saved us a pile of money!

Comments: There's heaps of positive musical experiences you can have in a band, it's an absolutely invaluable learning curve, there's nothing like it.

I've focused on the not so obvious traps involved in forming your own band... the common theme is "knowing when to leave".

Keep your energies focused on improving your musical abilities, after all you only have control over one person... YOU.

Look for the musical stagnation signs and head for the door. It's unrealistic to expect other people to be as dedicated or devoted to their craft as you, it's important to not sit around treading water waiting for them to catch up... it won't happen.

Now it's time to head back to the practice room and more guitar playing.
