Worst thing that ever happened to me: we had band practice and no one showed up. Literally none. No drummer. No vocalist. No bassist. So i sat down and practiced for 2 hrs. Quit the band after that. The thing is, that we really had potential, and we weren't half bad, but when you can't get your shit together and aren't ready to sacrifice time and energy on practicing then you might as well not be in a band. Cool vid though, cheers man!

That happens to me a lot. I'm the drummer of the band and I arrange practise sessions because no one else would if I don't. I always inform all my band members at least 3 days before the practise session, I give them the date, the time, the songs we're gonna play everything. And I remind them of the practise at least twice a day, I call them, message them or join our discrod to remind them. And they always want me to delay or cancel because they are tired, they don't wanna come or they forgot or some dumb shit like that. We can't practise often for that reason,They are all very talented in their instruments especially the bassist. We are very cooperative, we are always on the beat our harmony is pretty good but they are so unwilling to practise. I can't call us a band anymore we are more like guys who just sometimes go to a studio and play stuff. And our bassist went to another city for school so we are so split up right now. Hope I can find a band for myself next year when I move.

To expand on tip number 6, amateurs practice till they get the part right, professionals practice till they can't get it wrong. One exercise my jazz professor and I would do is to take 5-10 guitar picks (coins also work very well) and line them up on the space in front of you (desk, stand, piano, anything works). While working on a lick at say 100 bpm, he would have me play the lick. If it was up to his standard, he'd move one pick to the right. If I got it right again, he'd move the next pick/coin over to the right. Yet, if I missed the lick or something wasn't to his liking, he'd slide the pick from the right side, back to the left. Once I had all picks on the right, he'd kick up the BPM to 115, and we start the process over. This is a great way to visualize your practice, and to practice with purpose. Just my two cents.

Me and my band are very consistent with practice, every Tuesday between 7 and 10 pm. We'll go through all our songs once, then we'll work on anything we agree needs work on. We'll then take a 5-10 minute break for us smokers to have a cigarette and a drink, then we'll jam for a while, see if we can work on some ideas we've all brought in. Then we go through all our songs again. When we pack up and get ready to bugger off home we'll do a "what sucked? What rocked?" thing, where we talk about what we could work on more or what we collectively think is ready to play in front of people. We are a very structured band.

My current band has no singer but in my old band we had a guy who singed some stuff and the our current bassist was in that band too and he made back vocals and he was pretty damn good at it.

I've been trying to start a band with some friends. First practice: one person (lead guitarist) came and we made a tune that's almost memorable and probably could be recorded as an instrumental. Second practice: no one but me came. I spent the time trying to figure out my dad's loop pedal to solo off my own riff. Didn't work. Third Practice: Keyboardist and our friend who thinks he's starting a rival band (with no one in it and no songs) showed up an hour late. We couldn't even sound remotely musical until the guitarist left, but the keyboardist played something by the Piano guys and I played this old fiddle-song on bass and it worked amazing. And i taught him guitar even though neither of us play it. Fourth practice is the day after tomorrow. Wish us luck.?!

BTW, we just had the worst band practice ever this past weekend. Our drummer called an hour before to say he would not be showing. We told him we were going and he was welcome to show up when/if he wanted to. Once we got to the practice space, we found another band there shooting a video which was supposed to get over in 15 mins but suddenly, they came over and said they needed another two hours. They had also taken all the power strips and the drum kit outside the practice space for the shoot. Left with no way to plug in and the practice space in a mess, we just walked out. The drummer never showed and we all agreed it was time to get rid of him. So the plus side is we got rid of our weakest link :)

It's been sort of difficult as a band in the start-up stage to find and agree on goals and organize our time. Sometimes we get together to rehearse a song we've already put together but then that ends up turning into and unplanned writing session and then we have myself and the bassist trying to learn parts from each other and the drummer has nothing to do. This video helped me realize the importance of discussing what we want to accomplish in a session beforehand and doing our best to stick to that plan so that we make the most of our time together.

If you or I gets asked to play something differently, be willing to try it. Humility goes a long way in helping to sound better. Pride will cut things short.

Oh god yeah, my god damn partner in our little singer-songwriter duo. We were writing rather proggy acoustic stuff with a lot of rather complex arrangements for such a duo. Problem was, we had a lot to practice for, simple things like playing together. I insisted we played the complex patterns to a metronome and talk about rhythmic cues so we were aware when to play how. Yeah, his idea was to just get together with the acoustic guitars, just doodle in a nice campfire-like fashion and just go and jam. He didn't learn his parts, we were never advancing in our session and he became increasingly pissed because his idea was "to have some fun" but leave out the work-part. We're still good friends but yeeaaah, although he was extremely talented, he was never really in the mood for work, I became a frustrated ass-face in the process. BUT he was so kind to give me the rights to all the materials/the parts he wrote for me to work on them alone. We remain good friends and he realized his focus in life is on something else. I still give him credit for the parts he wrote because they are beautiful and tasteful as hell.

I had a band once, once. The drummer was bad for playing while people were talking. Communication is always key, the band I was in was doing like... Post grunge, punkish sound. One day the lead guitarist was like "let's do hair metal songs". Rhythm guitar and drummer agreed (no singer quite yet), so I left the band saying if the rest of the band wants to play hair metal go for it, it's just not the sound I thought we had for the band. And i wanted to play music I wanted to play in a band, with people that wanted to play the same music. Then like a month later rhythm guitarist leaves and said he just couldn't get into the hair metal stuff. And he joined another band. A year or so later the drummer and I were talking and he said he just agreed to the hair metal because the rhythm guitarist agreed. So if would have talked this out instead, we could have come to a complete agreement... By kicking out the lead guitarist. The three of us practiced a lot without him, we had a nice sound. So communication. Lots of it. Tried forming a band after. No one I knew or anyone who my friends knew wanted to play the music I did. Luckily music wasn't a career for me.

List things that bug my mind and decide to ignore them, how am I feeling, what am I excited for, what am I worried about in about the rehearsals, how confident am I about the songs, have a cigarette or two. I don't know is this a bad thing to come early, but it usually keeps me sharp and calm on the rehearsals. (Backstory: Not used to play with others, little bit social anxiety)

I'd also add to the list that during a rehearsal session there should be divided sections for the current session's purpose (let's call it this way, i.e. going through the track-list for the upcoming show) and for jamming and whether the latter are necessary. Sure, starting a spontaneous jam and playing an improvised 10-minutes song where everyone has a lead part in the genre not matching the general band's idea is fun, but hey, we've wasted 10 precious minutes which we could spend on actually going through the main material. And also, no half-way smoke breaks. Finish first, then go on a break.

I also remember one Periphery concert when Spencer and Jake were both off their games; Mark's had this "WTF is going on with these guys" look for a few songs while Misha just sort of zoned out.

Saw twisted sister open up for someone it was horrible all you could hear was the bass over everything so I went to get refreshments and check out the paraphernalia of the next band and to my surprise😅 a bunch of people did the same.

ive made my own self produced album which i will probably never release. i want to start a band but i’m afraid nobody else will like my “genre” or style. i was raised on led zeppelin and kiss but i also love and appreciate every genre there is. i’m terrified they won’t want to join because of the music style i make. every kid i know at my school that plays an instrument are very stuck inside their own head and won’t open up to playing things they don’t like. literally i know 4 guitar players who will not play anything other than heavy metal. heavy metal is great, i’d love to do some covers but i want to experiment and play other genres

To which I'd ask you the question: so what if nobody else likes it? No skin off your nose.

Not open to new people joining cause when one practice goes well he thinks he owns the world and will think he is on another level as well I am on another frontier basically saying " we don't need another person we got this the 3 of us and jt makes me shut down when I have to raise my voice to get my point across any advice
