My Hero: Demolition Lover Age: 69 Gender: Female Posts: 17784	August 10th, 2008 at 08:46am ^I don't play guitar, but I do play a multitude of other instruments. I don't know if you play guitar already, but all I can say is: Don't give it up when it starts to get hard. I have seen so many people with such potential just stop because it got hard. It'll take hard work, dedication, and hours upon hours of practice, but you'll get better. I don't know really what applies to guitar, but learn all of your scales and chords. Trust me, it'll make your life with reading music, so much easier. If you don't know how to read actual sheet music, I would advise learning how to read it. That'll help too. I hope I helped you out a little bit. I'm sure someone who plays guitar can help you with technical stuff!
Beauty of the Grave Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: 13 Gender: Female Posts: 389	August 11th, 2008 at 11:58am SORRY I WROTE SO MUCH!!! ok guys i need some help...i live in a REALLY small town in Virginia and me and my friend Mary are going to start a band in a few years, we really want to help kids that are suicidal and self-harm, and help people who have bad problems, we also want to donate concert benefits to cancer and other diseases' funds. The only problem is that we do live in this small town and well to give you a clue on how small it is this is an exampe and the truth, we only have ONE stop light and im not even joking about it, so we are afraid that we will not have our dreams of coming true of being in a well known band, we dont want to be super famous but we want to help people with our music because it comes from our hearts and we just dont know how to get a demo ready, or where to send it to like record labels, we dont know where to find a great manager or where to look for a manager or where or who we can contact to get a record label to come to a show of ours. dont get me wrong i love the town i live in but me and Mary just dont know what to do to get people to know us so we can help those who need help and we are not starting the band for a few years but i want to get an early start now. We do have a few people who want to be in the band but some of them dont know how to play an instrument or anything like that. Mary is learning guitar and wants to be the lead or rythm guitarist and i have been in music and chorus since i was like 2 years old not like teaching lessons but like classes in school so Mary and everyone wants me to be the vocalist which is like my dream because Gerard is the one who inspired me to want a band and to help people. We do have a bass player, Justin, he has been taking lessons on bass for about 6 years and is GREAT at it so he wants to be in the band so we only need another guitar player and drummer so yeah..but if anyone can help in any of the questions i would DEEPLY appreciate it. you can either reply to this message or send me a pm...it would probably be better to send me a pm because i can save it so thank you everyone!!!
The Fatality :D Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: 14 Gender: Male Posts: 415	August 17th, 2008 at 05:11am I think it's wonderful that you want to start a band with the purpose to better the world. But, a band is not an entrepreneurship, as most people might think. It's about the music. Well, to a certain extent. If you can touch people's hearts with your music, then it doesn't matter how small of a town you live in, or how many vacancies you have in your band. Sorry, I don't know if my advice helped or not. :$
Beauty of the Grave Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: 13 Gender: Female Posts: 389	August 20th, 2008 at 11:15pm ^^yeah it helped..me and my friends who are starting the band really do want to help the world even if it is just one person we will know we helped that person and i am glad that we live in a small town because if we can make it in the world as a band then other people who want to do the same will know that if we did it then they can too...thanx again!!!

hollow vessel. Demolition Lover Age: 15 Gender: Female Posts: 15621	October 22nd, 2008 at 06:39am Does anyone know of any good websites where I can find accurate drum tabs? I'm wanting to learn a Fall Out Boy song. I can sort-of play it by ear, but tabs would be a great help.

MilitaryFairy Joining The Black Parade Age: 16 Gender: Female Posts: 83	November 20th, 2008 at 07:43pm What should our band's name be? a. High on Airplanes b. High on Paper Balloons c. Currently Deceasing d. none of them?
Jesus Lizard Really Not Okay Age: 17 Gender: Male Posts: 997	November 26th, 2008 at 08:27am Depends on your style. If you're playing MCR, Paramore style pop punk then High on Airplanes would be cool, but if you're into heavier metal stuff then Currently Decesaing may be more your style.
MilitaryFairy Joining The Black Parade Age: 16 Gender: Female Posts: 83	December 2nd, 2008 at 04:37am ^^ Thank you. Our band is more Paramore-ish. I'm thinking of adding an adjective before airplanes...maybe paper?
Ash-Peters Joining The Black Parade Age: 15 Gender: Female Posts: 47	December 9th, 2008 at 01:25pm yeah paper airplanes sounds awesome ^_^ I liked paper balloons simple for the word paper lol xo.
