Have you guys talked about what songs you plan on doing? Might be a good idea, that way you have a week to work on them.

We actually did. Some stones tunes, a bit of AC/DC, stuff like that. I'm practicing big time.

It's been delayed two weekends. :( His schedule got full this weekend and mine is toast for the next.

Way to go! Can't wait to hear your report.

You know, you will often see people post here and ask how they can get in a band, or find someone to jam with. It almost seems like a big mystery to many. And I can see that.

But you just have to do something. Go down to the music store and post an ad "guitarist looking to join band, or guitarist looking to jam". Or go down to the local Open Mic. Or in your case, you contact that bass player down the street.

So, there is no definite answer for this. But one thing is for sure, YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. It doesn't come to you.

You have shown a good example here. Just do ANYTHING you can to find someone to play with. Sooner or later something good will happen.

Or as a friend of mine used to say, "even a blind hog finds an acorn once in awhile" :D

I can't wait to hear the results!
