Whether you want to form a band, just jam or compose songs, nothing compares to playing with other musicians. If there are no musicians in your group of friends, here are some tips about how to find people to play with:

• -Place an ad in a local music store like My Music Supply – these shops are like meeting places for musicians, anyone who plays music will need strings, drumsticks or other accessories eventually and when they go to the shops, they will see your ads. The method might seem old school, but many of the world’s greatest bands were formed that way;
• -Go to local rehearsal rooms – these places also have walls where you can place your ads and they are great for meeting other musicians personally;
• -Go to local bars where live music is played – try to find places where amateur musicians are allowed to jam, you are most likely to find some interested candidates there;
• -Look online – social media platforms are great for getting the word out that you are looking for musicians. You can also find websites that specialize exactly in what you need, providing space for ads to look for musicians and to tell forming bands that you are available.
