Welcome to the forum. It's always good seeing new members.

[AmericanDream]

yeah, this place is cool, unlike any other forum ive been on, im on maaaaaaany, this has free lessons and all that jazz...

so where can i get tips on starting a band, theres only me and a guitarist, acoustic, but she will learn electric.

were both taking a course in highschool, guitar ensemble, they said it would help us in our band, were just starting our band now, her and i play together and play for hours making up anything...
but its not ever very good.

So where can i get tips on starting a band or making songs and getting tabs, i play by ear mostly, but we use tabs for help

If you need more members ask the owner of the local store if you can put up a flyer with information about the band you're starting. That's usually what people do in my hometown. I think I've seen this subject discussed on here before with more advice than I can give, so you might want to do a quick search and see what turns up.

Once you have all the members you think you need from my personal experience a good way to start playing as a band is to do a few covers until everyone gets comfortable with how everyone else plays. After that is when you start writing original stuff, when the band reaches a certain degree of unity and organization.

We have an entire forum section here for songwriting. For tabs my favorite place is here (http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/).

You'll want people who are motivated and have the same vision as you; otherwise you'll get hardly anything done.

Welcome to the boards btw. :)
