Okay, so you’ve banded together some of your friends and have decided that you’d like to make some music, and perhaps even play a few gigs. How you proceed depends largely upon what your long term goals are. If its low key garage band stuff with an occasional party in the mix I say do whatever gives you the most pleasure. But if you have higher aspirations of regular paying gigs, the first thing you are going to need is a plan.

Start with 3 set lists.
1) Songs we all know
2) Songs some of us know
3) Songs we all want to learn.
