Tfw you wanna start a band but theres no-one to play with around where ya live

>tfw you wanna start a band but theres no-one to play with around where ya live

tell me about your musical struggles

>tfw your daw doesn't want to accept the dope vsts...

in my town, theres 3 different reactions you can get if you ask literally anyone if they want to start a band
>you need to have a degree in music in order to write music, dumbass!
>Totally! We can spend like, 2 minutes writing songs right after we spend the entire day playing video games and doing nothing relating to music!
>no

>tfw everyone in your area wants to play shitty metalcore or pop-punk

>tfw you wanna start a band but you're ugly and so insecure that everyone notices it

>tfw there's a huge shoegaze, post-punk, and math rock scene in my city
feels good

Ride the trollies you'll be a star

Become one man band

I can play and write but nobody likes me so i'm screwed

>have a group of mates who play instruments
>want to start a band
>tfw when you all play the same instrument

>play drums
>can't impress girls no matter how good you are

Same.

i could. i mean i can play all the needed instruments. fucking watch me.

I just wanna make a swing band but everyone wants to make it more into a rock/punk group, they took a swingy piece I made and turned it into a funk rock piece

>Friends/grills come over
>see your drum set
>"what songs can you play user?"

weird, usually the bang bang wants girls to bang bang

When you wanna do loopy hypagognia like The Skaters/James ferraro but none of your friends share the same ideas about a r t m u s i c

Where?

What towns have the most emerging and varied scenes?

I know that feel senpai

>it's festival season
>all your friends have a horrible taste in music and decide on the one with the shittest lineup

This realest of struggles holy fuck this is accurate

>tfw enjoy learning and playing guitar but you cant sing at all
And I dont mean I have a weird voice, its just nasally and my tone is all over the place

But you'd have to get them to the kit first to show them the bang bang

tfw u have everything except a bass player

This, then you can slowly make a band once you get famous.

>tfw you have everything except a drummer
>tfw everyone and their mother wants to play guitar

what you can truly to do is yawn
when you yawn you exhale The air in a certain way

try to yawn and do a note at The same time

and put your voice more in The throat not in The nose

so do that I dont know if I explained myself

when you sing you exhale The air like you yawn

Breathe, take a deep breath before you sing.

...

HIT ME UP SON OF FUCK IM GOING TO SHRED THAT SHIT ALL OVER THE PLACE

just go to a music teacher

where are you from op
let's start a band

anyone want to make an anco tribute band? I look and sound like noah and am familiar with the vst versions of all the synths they use and play all the instruments they do. pls let there be an avey and geo out there

Want to be in a band but all your friends who play either are in college, poor, or adhd and can't sit down and practice without wasting the day away
Or all 3 at once

Help

>tfw want to make The Roots 2.0 but everybody is snide and rude when you tell them you want to rap over live instrumentation

western PA??

>band has four bass players

>tfw in a band but ur shit at writing music so the material end up being so-so since u dont have the same idea of whats great as your bandmates

>tfw i think i might have written the modern day yesterday a few days ago but im too shy to show anybody

> finally find others interested in jazz and not just video game music
> musicians assemble!
> me on double bass, someone else on trumpet, new girl on piano, other guy on guitar
> nodrummer.exe

Northern NJ, close enough

>Band is growing
>When we get together we always make good fucking music
>The Universe makes it harder to have time to practice
>I'm impatient as fuck so it just bums me out when we can't practice

still join them but bring in your own patrician influences and gradually mold their sound into an interesting fusion, giving your band a unique appeal

...

tfw you cant greentext

>my friends from high school are muscians but I was to lazy to ever learn how to play an instrument

Anyone know what the scheme's like in Philadelphia? I'm going to be moving there in the fall for college.

>tfw u never had the experience of being in a band in high school

>tfw all of your friends are too racist and mean to start a youth crew band

I am as hairy as Geo but I'm more on the Avey-Deak side of instrumentation.

The scene in the 401 is supposedly noise rock, but I haven't ever heard of or seen another noise rock band other than Lightning Bolt perform. Anywhere outside of Providence is just fucking shitty open mic bars and they're all filled with old white dudes in biker gangs playing nothing but blues and 'classic' rock.

Fuck this state man.

>start band with friends
>one of us wants to play indie folk, one wants to play doom metal, one wants to play "what AWOLnation plays
>we break up

>friend asks me to play guitar in his band
>accept
>turns out that I'm the only one who can play an instrument

>jokingly ask to start a band with some friends
>we actually start playing together
>none of us have musical backgrounds and are worse than the shaggs
>have a great time anyways
feels good

Same struggle. Most bands nowadays are either edgy prog metal or emo shit. Nobody wants to play my genre ; -;

>tfw solo

>wants to make a specific genre band
what faggots

Any montrealers wanna start a band?

>in a band
>we haven't decided the name
>the other two members don't play their instruments as often as i do
>i've literally made entire songs before on my own
>try teaching them to the drummer in our band, who just picked up drumming not even a few months ago

: ^ (

>Know you have musical talent
>Have no doubt you could make some amazing tracks
>Have crippling depression and lack of motivation
>Can't stay motivated enough to learn any instrument/ software
>Will never make music

>tfw have musically talented friends
>have all instruments needed
>all have the desire to start a band

now we just need to actually decide which direction to take it in and write some legitimate songs

>in a band in high school, kinda suck
>make better music by myself
>move to Kanada for school
>no access to drum set and no friends that wanna play music
kill me

do shit to fix your depression like prescribed medication, therapy and meditation

i used to be hopelessly depressed but i started with meds and therapy and later started meditating, feel like 85% better

>want to start a band but I can't play any instruments or sing or do anything at all that requires talent.

this is what I'm trying to do

#2 is actually the most accurate thing ever
You forgot eventually "breaking up" your "band" because nobody can decide what genre/style to play

its not too late

>want to play in a band
>all your friends are better than you at their instruments and you'd probably hold them back

>credits on the album:
>blank plays guitar
>other guy plays drums
>user has a bass

>Spend a year perfecting my setup to my own taste in my niche little apartment
>Moved to house last week
>Music studio room I set up is in basement for noise
>So much fucking EMI
>Country radio plays through amp when I hit my Wah pedal
>Fucking 60 cycle hum when I crank even just a tad

Gonna hit the store tomorrow to get a power box, that should help with some of the buzz. But idk what to do with the radio signal being picked up by my Wah. Is there a way I can shield the inductor?

I'll save you some time.

You didn't.

What kind of music do you like to play? Just switch it to whatever station that plays it and it'll be like a double-music pedal.

Move to philly

Holy shit, I feel most of this entire thread

>like Cuban jazz
>want to learn to play the bongos
>don't want to be "that guy" who plays the bongos

I play a lot of repetitive krautrock, Swans esque stuff. And I would rather be able to use my Wah pedal without top 40 country hits being played through my amp. It's not subtle either, it's loud as hell relative to the volume

>depression is real
>taking zogpharma shit
wew lad

?

>swans esque stuff
>wah plays top 40 country
So great, you have a pedal that switches your music to something better.

just get a shitty guitarist and have them play root notes f a m

arctic monkeys started with no musical background (none could play an instrument) and look at how that turned out

Damn u got me good xD

Shitty?

>band has 4 drummers

We blue man group hell yeah

multiple platinum albums and millions of dollars, even if you put out shit music that's pretty good

Probably for the better tbqh desu senpai
F. A. M

>join a band
>"songs" are basically us playing ad lib over the same chord proggression for minutes
>too shy to tell them we should get some order and make actual songs
Fuck me uppp

Jimmy Norton?

>tfw nobody interested in playing jazz fusion in Southern California

Jazz over programmed beats in 15/18 boss, ezpz

>Country radio plays through amp when I hit my Wah Pedal

please post webm or something, i'm in stitches

If you let me sleep there I'll play in your jazz band friend.

I want to write, but I'm banging too many groupies.

Then actually learn to play the bongos. There's a hell of a line between a'slappin da skin with a semblence of rhythm and actually playing bongos with groove and articulation.
Own that shit.

Literally feel this way about my depression 100% of the time and end up in the same boat as Also I have no friends, the only people I ever exist around don't have any music taste, my entire city is devoid of culture and my amp is broken.
At least I have my job at mac donalds haha

>Super ambitious band
>Me and the bassist/vocalist delve deep into songwriting ideas
>Drummer doesn't like 95% of them
>He wants us to write a song with him there on drums with shitty made-up-on-the-spot riffs
>Every jam session ends up becoming a shitty improv anyways

Kill me

How far are you?

Kick the drummer

>want to start band
>all musicians in area are dudes
>tfw grill
>say they wanna jam but no they wanna fucc
>kicked out of band no tunes makin for u

We just write without him anyways.

He's probably the best drummer for miles and he's been my friend for like 12+ years

kick your drummer out of the band, obviously
