For some reason, ginger people seem more susceptible to sunburn.

Pick a common style, learn to play it well. If you play an odd style, search bands in the area that already do, and try to join one.

If you don't already have band mates, it's better to join a band rather than starting your own.

Here is my view on how to start a band is this

1) Have great guitarists
2) Find awesome vocalists
3) Dope drummers
4) Good percussions
5) Have 4 guitars

Guitars
Solo
Mi-Solo
Rhythm
Bass

6 Singers.

That would be a great band.

I'm going to college in 10 days. I still really want to do this.
Anything anybody can tell me before I read through the thread again? I think I could probably find some people on campus. I got an email to audition for campus choir....not really my kind of music but do y'all think it would help?

I'm kinda at a loss for you because almost all of my close friends are musicians and we jam all the time... if I wanted to start a(nother) band it could happen at the drop of a hat.

Auditioning with the choir would be a great way to get together with other musicians. Remember, even though you would be singing choral music, there's a good chance that other members of the group are into various genres of music and be willing to play... or at the very least, get you in contact with some "friends of friends," or end up in their circle, which may have other musicians in it. I say go for it. Plus, it would give you some more traditional practice for your voice, which can't hurt.
