How to make your Rock Band famous!
1. Find a drummer. Drummers are hard to find; however, you can't just teach a guitarist or a bassist to play drums(they're very different instruments). If you absolutely can't find one, it might be wise to become one yourself.
2. Buy or rent a guitar and it will make the band much easier. Even if you don't play guitar for the band, you'll want one to write music for and as a back-up if the guitarist forgets his or doesn't have one.
3. Find a bass player. Nowadays, bass players are becoming harder to find. However, if you can't find a decent bass player, get a guitarist to learn to play bass(they're very different instruments, but the bass can be played like a guitar).
4. And of course, you need a singer. not everyone thinks they can sing, so make sure they can sing. But of course, you need to find a good one. If someone can sing choir music, great, they will probably be able to be a rock singer, although it isn't a prerequisite. Also try to find someone who has a lot of personality. People will not be interested in a singer who never moves and never shows any emotion.
5. If desired, get a keyboard player. A good techno breakdown, or choir barage is a good addition to a song. If you can find one who can out-shred your guitarist, nab him. Keyboards add depth and an epic feel to your songs.
6. You can either choose to write your own songs or play some of your favorites. If you play other peoples music you are called a cover band. Cover bands can be good cause people want to hear their favorite tunes live and won't have to spend a fortune to see the real band play it. Keeping this last point in mind, it is wise for bands who write their own songs to also learn a few popular songs because doing so will greatly improve your chances of getting gigs.
7. Choose songs that band members will like. Don't pick songs that are too old or not catchy enough.
8. Practice, practice, practice. There's no such thing as TOO good.
9. You have to start booking gigs. The first thing you do will not be making a CD. People have to find out about your band and also have to like it.
10. If you do get a following you might want to start putting your own songs into your gigs. If people really like these songs consider producing a CD.
11. Make a demo CD. Don't worry about making it too complicated. Just send the demo to nearby records and see if they're interested. Don't get too sad if they don't like it you just have to keep sending it to people.
12. If you do manage to get a record deal CONGRATULATIONS!! You just have to hope that people will listen to it.
13. If people do start listening to your CD than you have to follow it up with something similar and better. Make it seem like you've gotten more mature. Not alot just a little. People always like that stuff.
14. Basically follow this cycle for a while. At one point you have to do something REALLY different. Big bands like Led Zeppelin and Queen got their biggest hits from doing songs that were way out of the ordinary(Stairway To Heaven,Bohemian Rhapsody).
