At your age and level of experience, I would ask around at school - talk to your music teachers, etc.
Stay in school, get a decent education, about 0.00001% of all musicians make a living doing nothing but music.
Rock on!

Thanks! the only problem is that i'm doing online school in order to have a better chance to get a part time job. I posted some notes on bulletin boards at local music stores, but nothings come up yet. hopefully something does! plus, many people my age dont listen to this kind of music sadly, but maybe something will turn up soon!

You should play whatever you can get! Experience is Experience! The lead guitarist of A7X played Jazz growing up. Other genres give you a different sound and feel

Tons of Metal bands in Phoenix and some are quite good. Hit craigslist.

i know what you mean tyler; its just that i dont know that much jazz or blues songs. if you give me some good songs to learn ill try them out though. i definitely appreciate the genre and diversity

and i know many metal bands here in az, but all of them live in tempe! but ill be sure to try craigslist. thanks.
