New Member - questions on exposure

[zerochanceoutshined]

hello!
I'm a singer and I play "okay" guitar... not that good but I feel i could survive a 10 song set of covers with just me and my guitar...
Been looking, forming, auditioning for bands for some time now... nothing seems to stick...

I was wondering if any you have any suggestions on how to get experience in the gigging circuit.
Right now, since I can't seem to get a band going, I'm wondering how to get gigs at bars or coffee houses... I play rock and roll... but since it's just me and no band --- rock music in acoustic stripped down form... I do covers and I have some original material
I really wanna play loud and fast and heavy but can't do much about it

Any advice? anyone who owns a bar who'd like to give me gigs... kahit opening act lang haha

Thanks everyone!!!

Gigging is one way getting your muzic heard...getting a gig could be easy or hard deppending on ur luck too...no connections?..friends in bands that gig?..it usually starts there..kung wala, e di "walk-in" hehe!..prep ur demo & bring ur gear jst in case for an inproptu set audition...o di ba?! gig na!Ü

absolutely correct! also, add more songs.. if u want 2 play coffee shops/bar gigs, have at least 45 songs at ur disposal.. & prepare ur self 4 a tiring 3 sets  after that, make an appealing profile of urself or ur band w/ ur repertoire & send 2 participating outlets hehe

Hey thanks for the words of encouragement guys... yeah soundgarden just kills haha
maybe i am gna do a walk-in kinda thing
as for demo tapes... ant suggestions? should i really get a 4track recorder like a friend of mine mentioned?
coz i was thinking if i used a regular little recorder i'd sound worse than i already do...
problem is i think a 4 track sells for like 20k am i right?

kelangan mo lang ay:

-->PC w/ Soundcard (Full Duplex Dapat)
-->Good Mic
-->Audio Software

Record kana, pwede mo pa i-edit sa PC mo yung voice mo.

lagyan mo ng effects, like reverb, delay, kahit ano...kahit wah wah hahaha!

tanta lang ng tanta!!! Trust me, vocalist din ako...
