    Just wanna let you guys know, this is possible with this advice. I’m a guitarist and a singer and I’ve always been a big fan of Skiffle. I’m British (obviously), and it’s mostly a dead genre here. But I found a bunch of people who wanted to revive the genre. I met a drummer and we made a bass with a wooden box. I also met this guy who can play really good lead guitar. So now we do talent gigs around Manchester, and I’ve never been happier. I’m year 11 (or sophomore for Americans)

    Im a Bassist, I met some guys a year or so ago, the Guitarist is the oldest of us, me and the Drummer are the same age, we don’t have a lead singer though, it’s just the three of us, I want to play more fast paced high tempo hardcore punk, the guitarist has similar wants too, the drummer doesn’t care, as long as it’s music for him, there’s no live music anywhere here, and the only band around is us, there’s two or three local bars that we’ll try to play when we’re all legal age to do so

    • @ShakeoutNY
      @ShakeoutNY  2 года назад +3

      That's rad, keep at it. Definitely consider having someone start to try and sing a bit, I think it may be a fun challenge and you may realize you don't need a singer. Also, I recommend trying to throw a few of your own shows! Your backyard, your school, a park, wherever you can. Never too early to start. Don't stress waiting to turn legal age

    This is some pretty good advice. My friend and I both play guitar while I sing and right now we are looking for a drummer for the band. Its been a bit hard because our old drummer in our old band moved away so now we just have to start fresh which Im okay with its just going to take a bit to get started. Thanks for the advice Im gonna use it to see if I can find a drummer maybe even a bass player. (We might do a sleater kinney type of thing because of the lack of bass)

    • @ShakeoutNY
      @ShakeoutNY  Год назад +3

      Heck yeah that’s awesome!! No videos on that yet but maybe soon. My best advice would be to practice just finding your own voice. A lot of time (especially with beginners) people tend to imitate others and that’s not always the best approach. Learn what your voice is capable of and work on those parts of it. Don’t ever force yourself to sing in ways that you just can’t. I’d love to have a voice like Rob Halford, but the reality is, I can’t sing like that haha. So i dont focus on that. Hope that helps!
