surfpup Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 ...on Craigslist. I didn't buy anything. However, about two months ago I answered an ad in my local Craigslist for a blues/rock guitar player. Turns out the bass player and drummer who placed the ad are both very talented musicians, have no bad habits (they don't even drink) and are genuinely nice guys. Talk about luck! We have rehearsed 7 or 8 times and have 20 or so songs sounding really good - Cream, Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, SRV, etc. There have been no issues or power struggles - just good music making. I've been pinching myself for a while now, thinking it can't be going this well and that something has to screw this up but... knock wood... it hasn't. So hats off to the peeps at Craigslist... I owe you one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 . let's hear you guys when you get something recorded that you think is worth hearing! That shouldn't be a problem. The bass player records all our rehearsals for later analysis! (I tell you these guys are beyond professional). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myspace.com/jessenoah Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have used craigslist with alot of sucsess when it comes to finding bands/musicians, it really just depends on the luck of the draw, some people are legitimate players, and some people are wanna-be's!
