Guitarist looking for a band in the US (show, bands)

marta92 · 10-08-2008, 01:28 PM

Well, I'm from Spain and I'm 15 years (almost 16! haha) but I've always wanted to live in the US.
I started to play guitar about 2 years ago and it's the thing I like the most, I never have enough. I can also play the piano and people around me say I can sing (I don't think so, but well I can sing backup vocals I guess...).
Now I'm still studying, but when I'm 18 I'm definetely gonna live in the US. I don't care if I don't have a wonderful job or stuff like that, I want to live the way I want (music, music and music!!) and I want to reach my goals (or try to do it), not spend my life with a stupid regret, thinking about what would have happened if I had tried to fight for what I wanted...
I'd like to be in a band here (in the US), playing the guitar (and sometimes the piano). I like music like Green Day, The Used, MCR, Fall Out Boy...
Ok, I know that almost all of these kind of bands are formed by boys but.. why not a girl playing the guitar??!! haha
Sooo.. please tell me what you think about it (but please don't say I'm crazy cause I'm sick of hearing it from my family) and know that... hmm... it's a thing very important for me, it's my life and I'd do anything to achieve it.

Thanks!!! xx

finding a band to play in will be easy.

getting through immigration will not.

Try that sight. I have used it and it worked out well. Met a few very good guitarists.
