I want to be a band members so badly. I don't want to die without experiencing performing live. I don't want to have regrets when I'm old that I didn't do or fight for the things that really made me happy.

I'm 62 and starting a band! Been playing for 2.5 years, but practice daily and am getting better. Started playing out at a nearby pub, and was accepted to play with this loose goose outfit. It's a blast! Gaining confidence in the meantime. I have a vision and am going for it. So, do it, and don't wait!

“tomorrow is too late, you should start today.” me watching at 11:30pm: T-T

This is such a sweet and accurate video. It is not embarrassing to be a beginner because there are so many other beginners out there! more so than there are professionals. What is most important is just starting somewhere, imagine how awesome it would feel to be in a band that starts as beginners, and progresses into experts.

Got my bass this year on the 4th of July….got in a band just searching around OfferUp they said come in to the rehearsal spot showed I can keep a grove and I was invited the next time and ever since played two shows and writing new music….this is a dream I’ve had to join a with great musicians and I did it….I still think about how I suck and the rest of the members are so much better than I am….but those are my insecurities and that’s it, I’m so happy performing with them. Everything is true. When you are new at an instrument GO PLAY WITH SOMEONE BETTER you will fly so much faster.

i started crying (happy tears) at the beginning because you described my situation perfectly :D

i started playing in a church worship band, it has been a great place to learn and play with awesome musicians.

Thank you so much. Now i have the courage to look for a band starting today. I am 31. Vocalist. Beginner. India

I was playing lead guitar in several bands for 21 years total. I have spend around 12500 DM (that was roughly $7000 back then) over the years but we never made a living out of it. It was just a hobby. Being a professional has some serious drawbacks. Being on tour means sleeping in a different hotel room each night, being on the road for hours each day and unless you got an army of roadies you have to pack all the stuff until deep into the night after playing your butt off for 2 hours. I did that a couple of times and I hated it (not the cheering audience of course). Regardless, after all it was the best time of my life. I am 63 now and all what's left are memories but I don't want to miss them . :) To make a long story short: Do it by all means but don't have your expectations too high or reality might bite you in the ass.

I wanna sing in a band but I have no connections and I’m afraid of everything 🤣

we love a queen that shares real tips

I can’t wait! I have been practicing and learning and practicing and obsessing for years now over my first gig… i very much can relate to John Mayer when he talks about playing alone in a room just preparing for that moment. I learned how to improvise to get my chops up. The moment that I’ve always been waiting for is rapidly approaching. I can’t wait. I can’t wait to see how my moment is going to hit the eye rolling haters who scoffed at my dreams the whole way. Their eye rolling fueled me. It gave me goosebumps when you got goosebumps. Thanks for inspiring me a little more. Appreciate you.

I am 14 and love metal and rock Nobody else around me likes rock music…but I have friends on discord who want to be in a band and we kinda did this thing where we chose the part we would be if we lived in the same state…I am rhythm and backup vocals, friend 1 is vocals, and friend 2 is lead guitar…we just need a drummer and a bassist…we all love kiss, Motley Crue, Megadeth, Guns N’ Roses, and a bunch of other old bands.

This is a great video! Love how motivating it is. One thing I will say though (as a guitarist for a rock jam band myself), you cannot just go into a band immediately and learn the instrument at the same time. You really should have about a year of experience with your main instrument (and maybe others). If you lack this experience, an issue may arise where your bandmates want to play more technical and advanced things, but you are be unable due to a skill gap. Also make sure your band is all on the same page about what you want to play because if half the band are country fans and half the band are Slipknot fans, there will likely be some arguments. Basically, what I'm saying is its ok to be a beginner, just make sure your band matches your skill or it may get awkward pretty quick. Love it!

I joined a band at 9 playing keyboard and singing wen u get closer to your band mates u will see its not that bad

Thank you for your encouragement and for taking time to make this video😊

Dear Sadie, I heard your song at the song talk podcast - it is AMAZING! - and now, your supportive encouraging video - thank you so much! You really talked me out of my heart (is that proper English?) - it's for already a year that I keep on thinking and saying I want to be part of a band and I never started the initiative, but you are so right - I have to start and do the first step! Thanks for kicking me in the ass! 😉

Bang on advice! I appreciate your genuine and sincere voice.

You’ve inspired me. Thank you for this video!

I've been in 2 in my life

This has been a dream of mine since I was four years old but everyone I knew discouraged me from the idea now I'm 40 I just want to record an album just for my personal collection just to know I did something with my idea before I leave this world behind ❤

Oh my Good God , you are just answering the moments that the Universe and my Destiny is talking through you and i on , will follow this

I've been in too many bands because I've been searching for musicians who have their act together. I've been looking for musicians who push themselves and challenge themselves to be their best. It's nearly impossible. What I DID find was extraordinary musicians in various countries who are interested in recording and collaborating on projects. I think we're in an age of multimedia, while the old times of bands like Mötley Crüe and KISS are ancient history. Local bands are fine, but the venues will probably only have 80 people coming out to see a local band.

It's quite difficult in the United Kingdom. I have been trying to get another band together for over a year. The drummer moved away and then the bassist decided to retire. Since then I have met up with a few folks but the attitude has been quite negative. I even faced snobbery for not having a Fender Strat. I have, I just didn't take it that time. It is also really difficult finding places to practice. Even then it is difficult to find local venues to play, even for free. The expectation is that your band is a live jukebox able to play anything note perfect. Of course I like to do covers, but I like to work out new arrangements that fit the band. I like to do original material too, but many new musicians reject the idea. Good musicians are serious and want to get paid. Newcomers sometimes still expect to get paid but struggle to put in the hours to get better. One tip I have share. If you want to join a band or perform live then start practicing standing up. You will be shocked how difficult it is to play standing when you are accustomed to practicing sitting or slouching. Oh! Unless you are a drummer of course.

I have a decent voice I'm still working on it but I'm gonna get my first guitar soon which I will practice alot and study to get really good as quick as possible. And when I have a vehicle after I get enough money at this job, then first thing I'm gonna do is go on apps looking for serious dedicated musicians looking to join a original band, and also go to music stores posting ads for musicians to see aswell. Just need some good chill people that are easy to get along with and work with, and with the same serious music goals.

I've been wanting to join a band for 5 years now and never have joined a band, I've been going to local shows all the time I just never had good luck

hope i can join band

I love your video very very much! love your attitude! I have been in bands since 1991, mostly soul and funk but only recently joined a ska band and we´re writing own songs! I can really really stress what you said: there´s nothing quite like being in a band and playing music - it´s just so f****** special! Keep the attitude and the joy and fun!

I’m not sure about that thing Sadie said about “you can pay to be in a band”, that’s the same vibe as paying someone to be your agent as an actor, when an above board one would see your talents and believe in your ability enough to take both of you places, then they wouldn’t ask that of you, because they’ll already get a percentage of what you earned! (Unless this is like a college or high school band where you have to pay an instructor or to rent out a space.)

Somebody did knock on my door and asked me to be in their band.

hey thank you so much

I was a music major. What I learned was if you want to perform then you need to practice in front of a live audience. My recitals were graded, yes graded. This is where you learn a song or piece and know it backwards and forwards. This helps in performing. Then it is how to work with the sound system, the mic and so on. Have fun with music and it will pour out of you. Go have a chance@

I like this video makes me feel confident

Nice video Sadie. Some good advice. I’ve just discovered your channel, I’ve subscribed and liked and look forward to learning more with you. ❤

God I love this video you put out there your knowledge and passion towards music not to mention you're probably the most beautiful woman I've ever seen is the complete package I hope all your musical dreams come true and you certainly have helped me with my own

I’ve been thinking of joining a band I’m like a intermediate but not good still been practicing 9 months

This is my real dream to join a metal band, but unfortunately we do not have players for this type of music. People here do not listen to this type of music 😔

3:01 that *IS* fucking true tho in my little city there are like two drummers that play punk/metal (music that I play). and yeah these two are already in a five projects each. they're overloaded, they couldn't physically play with me, and even if they won't cause guess what - I'm a no-name, and a really shy one when it comes to asking something a complete stranger

I think this is a great Portal a lot to learn and understand in the life of musicians , here is where i get inspired , i am going to take this up real seriously , thanks

I just have one fear , (can I really learn some instruments , does my teacher know what they are doing) right now I am learning piano from skill share , it would be a great help if you can suggest me any online classes. ~thank yoy~

Thanks everyone for all the kind comments! ❤️ I have just uploaded the video for 2022 motivation for you a musician. Check jt out and tell me what you’re thinking for this year: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i5N2rKx3yq6aZ2Q.html

i really wanna be in a band i really like the arctic monkeys and i wanna make music like them but everyone i know isnt into arctic monkeys or that genre, im also young too so i dont think anyone would take me seriously im tryna write my own stuff instead of having a band but its difficult, music can be so difficult at times

Nice I'm not prepared but I will do it!

Thank you for this.

Merci madammoiselle 🤝

Thank You!

Thank you maam❤❤❤

Great video Sadie!

For some reason did not have no luck with Band mix

I want a rock band honestly..

i’m 19 and i feel like it’s to late to become a musical artist

Great video 💥💥💥✌️✌️✌️

I once played band in middle school. And we sucked.

I wanna be in a band so bad,but idk about anything 😢can anyone explain about band?im so curious about that

I just wanna play with some other people! It's not anything much about money, I just want play and have fun =w= tough i can't help but worry id mess everyone else up ~•~ !

This video helped a lot!

What if there no scene and you know that your town will be predominantly against any heavy music. There’s not a single venue that you know of to play in either, bar, clubs, backyards, under bridges. Nothing. Honest question should I just wait till I’m old enough to move to a city with a handful of bands or a scene?

I want to join a band badly🥺😭 anywhere in the world please 🙏🏻 I'm a singer, songwriter and rapper I'm creative as fr🔥 Thank you for this video.

How about how to find a band that will accept you without experience? Just saying. And open mic doesn't always work either.

at my school we have a school band and we were asked what instruments we wanted to play and i said drums and maybe vocals but i don't have a drum set at home

Would love to jam as a Nirvana style band if anyone like alternative rock🤘🏾

Wow that's supreb!! Keep supporting everyone ✨ 😀:)

Can u talk to me about this plz?

hey, beginner drummer in LA if anyone needs one. unfortunately don't have any equipment or practice rooms available tho

How to play bass in our band? Hit us up. (Indiana 2024)

Yeah I want to be in band...

I think I found my Band she is wearing Jeans and Black, She is Beautiful. ❤

I am a Junior in High School and I have been STRESSED about graduation, even though I still have a year Should I spend this time practicing then when I graduate look for bands around? Or should I start now? Because even though I really want to join a band now, I feel like because of my age we would have to wait to go anywhere

I'm learning guitar n piano for 10 years where can I audition?

I'm worried about finding good people to play with . . . people who not only want to play the same music as me and are good at it, but are also nice people to hang out with. I don't wanna be stuck with people I don't like, lol. I also like to write music and want to find someone who would be a good collaborator. I want to be in a band sooo bad but I'm picky with people cuz I just want to hang around nice and encouraging people

This is reslly off topic but where are your shoes from ive been looking for ones like those for a while

Nice

joining a bar band was the best thing i ever done, i just cant take the 2:00 am pack up and drive....we are all DWI why drive? call a dd, ya right...rarely happens....bar bands will always fail...nobody can drive....

I'm 12 and I have made a band buy I am still.a beginner

I don't have a band

Hi Sadie! This is a bit off subject but I really wanna ask you musicians. Do you think it's okay for a vocalist to have 2 different bands (I honestly like D.I.Y. punk, alt rock, even some folk, trip hop and even hip hop and wanna have a band who can do a bit of everything instead) doing originals? I am new to music and it has been really tough for me this past year to just start, find people who get my vision and keep things consistent. I have broken up with 2 bands, and the collaborative relationships that I've had were a hit and miss, people dangling me a record deal when it was just sexual harassment etc. The only 2 songs that I have are really punk-y and normally with other punkettes, to form a band they tend to be really just punk-y all the way, only sometimes they might try a bit of alt rock? To be honest, I'm trying to have just 1 band to focus on or just to have a bunch of collaborators to work with before I get 1 band apart from juggling my day job/s. Or should I just enter so many bands while trying to run my own songs as solo stuff? Or collaborate with as many people, run my solo stuff and find bandmates where we get each other? Also, I'm kinda starting this at a late age and I'm getting worried that I have no progress eversince I created those 2 songs with the band I have broken up with almost 2 years ago. I'm not sure if you get me, but yeah, I thought maybe I should just ask a musician like you. Thank you.

Im thinking about joining the band too btws we can peform togethe!r😁😁🎶🎵 lets hit itt!

I like to sing with someone but how could I find a group of people?

hi my name is harry I've watched your video. i would be interesting to join a band also i would like to open up and express to be in a band would you mind to help me to be in a band

If you wanna start a band you have to be passionate about it, or else it just won’t work..

Swag

If you don’t play an instrument don’t worry. That’s why god made the bass.

Hillarious...lol

Hey , well I just watched the first 1min of your vid where you say no ones gonna ask you to join their band, thats such a negative mindset and totally wrong. all the bands I ever joined, people asked me to join. The offer's gotta be there first. So you're really demotivating people from the first minute (didnt watch the rest)

How to use a rubber band 😏

Sorry not going to watch your video, but I will add that when I want to start or join a project. I look for people with the least amount of experience, because they tend to have WAAAAY more artistical input. The more you know of something, the more limited it becomes. Just my 2 cents
