Following Mary's lead from a few months ago, I posted last week that I put up an ad on Craigslist looking for other musicians... guitar, bass, keys, vocals. I got plenty of responses, but they really lacked the detail I was hoping for. For example, I got one reply that said: Seasoned guitar player here.... let me know if you want to play. Wow, really!
Who responds like that. I mean no info about who they are musically and what they play. Ok, you play guitar... Great. Do prefer to play an electric or acoustic? Are you a rhythm or lead guitarist?
I responded back to several of these people asking for clarification, you know, so I could seed if they met what I was looking for. I might have well been talking to myself for all the questions I got answered.
To those that did answer the questions I asked, I replied back and stated that we should get together and find out where we stand with each other. You know, let's have a beer and talk about what (genre) or who (artists) we like. What our musical influences are, etc.
One guy replied and said that would be cool, and the other two I invited never responded.
Now, I'm in no way implying to anyone that this will become an officially gigging band. If that were to happen, hey, cool. If not, no big deal. I just want to play with other musicians.
ON A SIDE NOTE:
When you get a group of people together to play, where do you play??
I play in my garage, but I don't have the room to accommodate anybody else... and even if I did, I don't have the ability to provide their electrical needs either.
Where do you practice or jam with a band?!?!?
Thanks for reading (and putting up with) my little rant.
