With the internet, this has made finding groups even simpler. There are numerous web communities that come together to chat about music, give guidance and share information regularly.
The great part is this has eliminated the issue of distance. Folk from all areas of the world can now take part and join discussions being hosted on these communities.

You'll be learning new music, jamming with people constantly and will keep you responsible for your practice. Nothing can incentivize you more than having people depend on your practice.

So just be absolutely sure that you are a good fit for the band and vice versa!
