Well, basically if you're thinking of starting a band, then tha means that you have confidence, and simply more than basic knowledge. Don't let anyone else tell you if you're not ready or exactly how you should go about this, because you never know when the right opportunities will come your way. Or the right people for that matter.

Basically, you should get together with a bunch of friends, those who share your ideas, and your killer instinct to survive in the fickle world of rock n roll. Basically, starting a band, it's not all about wanting to be famouds, it's about wanting to take yourself to the next level musically. It's all about wanting to take your music closer to reality, and to share important ideas with those who are willing to share and most importantly listen

If I had a fool proof method in finding the right musicians to help you through this, I would tell you in a flash. But the truth is you never know. All you can do is keep and open mind, and search the globe for the right people, the right group of friends who think very similar to the way you do.

Otherwise you'll be wasting your time.
