Hot Tub Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi everyone, I haven't posted for a while, but been loitering in the background, following various threads. Anyhoo, my band need to replace our lead guitarist. In fact, if I see him at rehearsal tonight there's a good chance he'll end up in Tesco burgers. So, where's a good place to find a decent guitarist? We're just a pub covers band, trying to have a bit of fun, but we're losing more gigs than we're playing because the current guy has too many other commitments (young family + baby on the way). Age, male/female, vocals or not, none of that matters. Just looking for someone who's versatile and fairly reliable. Does anyone know anyone, or know of a suitable forum? Cheers!

KevB Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The usual sites to try are partysounds, joinmyband, gumtree, musofinder, bandmix and the like. Try scouting out local jam sessions/open mic nights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Welcome to my world of pain. Would you like the list of the ones that applied for my band only to pull out after the auditions were organised ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leschirons Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yeah see, you've buggered yourself already by using words like "versatile" and "reliable" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charic Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Join my band is probably the best site atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monckyman Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Partysounds has better filters for area and distance etc, but joinmyband is also good if you are prepared to wade through the teenys looking to reinvent metal emo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
