The simple answer is practice, practice, practice! And above all have fun. You know that great feeling you get when you play together? Well imagine that feeling when you get begin to play great together! And when U start getting gigs.

My advice goes like this...;)

Dont have a gig until your realy ready for it, you may only regret and it may put you off.

If your gonna get paid you have to be of a certain ok standard and u dont want anyone drunk booing you!


Try to get in as many practices as you can, work around your free time. Even if two of you practice, its better than nothing!

Put a coule of songs onto a CD that you can pass around to the other members, off this CD, sont expect to be able to play all of them. You will whittle them down until you find some songs which just click.

Some complicated songs are sometimes the easiest and easy sounding songs are hard to pull off as they may seem to shallow sounding.

Pick the songs the *singer* can sing, not just songs you like. And finally...

Play to all your strengths, if two of you can sing - both sing! One sing, one do harmonies, then swap for the next song. If the guitarist cant realy play that song, either get them to learn it, or play a different songs. If some one else is better at playing that bit, swap instuments. Its your team, play to your strengths and help each other out.


Oh, and buy some decent equipment!

Tell me how u get on pls. Email at top: thelozenge@hotmail.com
