Possible to form a band this way?

My friend who plays guitar has band members he has never met in person who he put out ads for on the internet. He now says he has a band? Is that really how it works.....how do you practice and stuff when you are scattered all over the country and you are only 16 so you can't just go where you want? Thanks



I know people that have formed bands by meeting on the internet, but they played together in person not just playing and recording on the internet. Not to say it isn't possible, I just wouldn't consider that a real band, seeing as they aren't "banded" together.




I know alot of people that form jam bands over the internet. You record your parts and send them too eachother. It just takes an understanding of the recording process and a maturity in how you create the music.. Of course playing shows and the whole camaraderie of the band is probably missing.




That's not gonna work out. Sounds like your friend is a little desperate to be in a band.
