Yep, sets the world on fire when two musical egos can't gel.

Yep only buddy I still talk with is the guy we never let in the band! Everyone else…GONE!

Agreed. Keep your family, friends, and significant others out of your band. It’s a recipe for drama.

@Evan Baker Yeah, Mr. Baker it's a shame. Let me guess, your learning the old 6 string and your buddy is on the bass. The bass is so much easier, not putting bass player down. It's just when your beginning the bass is easier then the 6 string guitar, until you get into more complicated things like slap playing. Now you know he's not putting the time and effort that you are. So what do you do, gotta let him go. Feelings get hurt. But don't let it stop you. They say to be an expert at anything it takes 20,000 hours. That's alot of effort.

I know. I was the one being invited and got kicked out because I was making noise, not music.

Is it because of different music tastes? Our generation dig The Eagles but Millennials dig Justin Bieber and Brittany Spears.

@@gohjohanoh that’s not true, tons of metal heads my age, only problem is none of them play an instrument.

@@BeezerGutlr oh good. I'm glad that they have good taste in music. They won't play music because it's hard work. If you learn an instrument and try to master it, you know that it's hard work. You have to put in lots of time to get the songs right.

@@gohjohan I’m 14 and I’ve been getting private lessons for guitar since I was 10. I started listening to all kinds of music and landed with extreme metal and even some jazz too. Age has nothing to do with work ethic. If you’re lazy, you’re lazy, if you’re not, you’re not. As for me I’m on the cusp of mastering the intro of prayer position by periphery (highly recommend that song and band by the way). Not all kids and younger adults are the same my man

@@bruhbruh3642 to me age can be a barrier, especially learning new concepts. Took me a long time to understand the music theory. Learning the 12 notes was the easy bit. How they formed to make the chords and scale, that was hard. Same for rhythm. Eventually I had my break throughs after years of hard work and learning from others. I don't have that musical ear like others, so I rely on the music sheets, theory and developing my listening skills along the way.

That actually sounds right up my alley!

rule number one to avoid that fate - never play mustang sally

Crap, I’d even take that.

Start your own band

I'm looking for old sloppy dad band that is very casual

Thanks sincerely! That means a lot and we are all saddened by what’s happening now but hope to bring some smiles as well. Thank you Tim!

What was happening? 🤔

​@@positivelynegative9149I think probably january sixth

Meetup is for old people and weirdos. Nothing worthwhile on there.

Looks like a bunch of worms having a meeting up there lol 😂

A Drummer that won't overplay or bass player that fails to keep Rhythm are a curse to most guitarist & singers until find a Really Good one, then they are the cement you can build something Amazing upon

The biggest reason I started playing bass was because there were a ton of guitarists or singer/ guitarists in the market. Be a good hang, know the instrument, and be reliable and relatively punctual.

@@scottkidwellmusic9175 AND learn the damn songs.

As a guitarist for nearly all of my life, I've recently decided to adopt bass. It's a needed part of bands, and as a dedicated lead guitarist, I play bass with this same mindset. I'm learning scales amd theory, but it's similar enough to guitar that it was a nearly instant conversion. Playing with fingers, has actually started to shape more ability on guitar that was locked away previously, so yes, be more than one instrumentalist.

@@richsackett3423 - now wait just a minute... 🤣🤣🤣

Playing loud makes you sound better. Crank it up and maybe one of the cops who come for the noise complaint will be a player.

I am in the same boat.

@scott Gibbs Nextdoor app worked for me. I just posted about it

For real?

@@bob_right_now392 It’s true. Every Friday, all levels of expertise.

If you'd have said Blueberry edition Red bull, and Fritos with the jalapeño cheese dip, and bang, I'd be a permanent bassist and lead guitarist, rock drumming only(o don't Ringo, I don't Lars, I'm better than both) and some keys. Can sing several registers outside of my speaking voice, which is radio friendly similar to Paul Harvey.

I have the same issue.

Bandmix has been good for me. Craigslist is full of nowhere losers.

Worked for me as well. I found my current band there 3 years ago. We also found a replacement member from there after our bassist left over covid

literally my first thought haha

Technically it’s a 355 but yes it is gorgeous

@@isaacward6998 that one might be "the" 355. 😉

@@joerob3081 what gives it away? im still pretty new to guitar in comparison but the 335s and 355s are some of my favorites to look at

@@notrare_png Diamond inlay on the head stock, Block inlays on the fretboard, And the Varitone switch. Most 335s had dots on the fretboard

Mr.Walley, You, Good Sir are correct. I grew up in a small town. I began learning guitar before I was old enough to drive. Within biking distance, a new mom and pop music store opened. They didn't carry Fenders or Gibsons. In fact they had a sign in the store that read, don't even ask for a Fender or Gibson. I asked the owner why? As I'm looking at guitars I never herd of, and they were not very good. He told me because Fender and Gibsons were way overrated. Even though I was young, I still knew that at that time they were probably the best you could buy(Fender or Gibson). This was some 45 years ago. I think the owner was to proud to tell me he couldn't afford to buy 10 or 20 at a time. Belive it or not, there still open. Guess what, now they sale the overrated Gibsons and Fenders, because now there established and have the credit for them. I actually bought, back in the latter 80s a MIII Deluxe super strat type of a Gibson. I used to go there because they were close to my home to buy strings. And that day I walk in, they had Fenders and Gibsons. I wish I never sold that MIII Deluxe. I bought it for around 400.00. I think after all the time that has passed there probably worth a lot more, but not only that I loved that guitar. Maybe one day I'll run into another one. Have a great day, stay safe.

@@robertwillett4122 the M3 has only recently seen an upsurgence. In the 90's, I once saw one for 600. That's was considered high at the time, but I always liked playing it. Sounded great, played well.

@@caiusmadison2996 Yeah, for what it's worth. That was the easiest to play guitar I ever had, and I'm an old hippie. I've played 100s of guitars, and the MIII is one o miss dearly.

Good point on the minimum purchase problem for some small shops. Went back home a few years ago to where I bought my first guitar and later my Martin. Shocked to see they no longer carried Martins: could keep up with the buy minimum requirements for various SKUs

@@andrewhess2978 Mr. Hess, Good Sir. It's a shame, if I want a expensive gear or guitar the mom and pop stores( which who I want to give my money to) is basically over. At least where I live. I have to travel 30 some miles just to look at new gear. Don't like buying strings from Amazon, because I'm hearing a lot are fake. Definitely don't want to buy a guitar without playing it. Welcome to the new world, as Russia invades Europe. I'm an old hippie, sure do miss the seventy.

Do you need bandmates?

HAHA!! I mean, that sure does sound kinda creepy, David. I say do it. :D

Find comfort in knowing we are the salt of the earth.

The Larry Craig Band 🤣🤣🤣

I live in the Metrowest area in MA. if you are nearby, let me know. I’m a guitarist looking for folks to jam with.

Same thing.. There was a great venue/coffeeshop that had a monthly open mic (appeared on public access, too) but since COVID, they are closed for 4 months, open for 2 months, and now they're open for a complete 12 hours a week, but no more open mics :(

Yeah, faith in the Lord is so stupid. I’d much rather worship fauci, the NHS, government and social justice.

@@smelltheglove2038 Nobody is saying worship Fauci, but you would be an idiot if you think you know more about infectious diseases than him. People who publicly doubt him should show their PhD degrees.

Yes, dvsreed. Mine also, and my bass player sucks. Lol.
