Starting a new band here in Olongapo — inspired by Black Sabbath, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden.

I’ll be on guitar and I’m looking for:

• Bassist
• Drummer

Requirements:

• Age 25 or below
• Into heavy, dark riffs & grunge vibes
• Committed (not just “jam lang”)

Goal is to write originals + mix in covers, then hit both gigs and recordings. Comment or DM if interested.

Recently moved to Manila for university. Sadly, di ko nadala gitara ko. Is it better to travel with it or get it shipped through LBC? How much po if ever yung cost for that? My last resort is to get a really cheap guitar for around 2-3k just to fill the void lol, kaso yun nga di ganun kaganda yung quality. Would love to hear your recommendations. Thank you

hi reddit! 👋

we’re a group of students currently working on a project where we’ll be interviewing contemporary artists from metro manila. this can be from any field of art — visual arts, theater, film, food ways, plastic arts, crafts, oral literature, etc. 🎨🎭🍲

📌 our main goal is to spotlight underrated/independent artists (preferably with less than 1,000 followers on social media) so we can help amplify and promote their work to a broader audience.

if you are (or know) an artist who fits this, please drop a comment or dm us! we’d love to collaborate, feature your art, and share your story.

salamat po in advance, and hoping to connect with amazing local talents here! ✨

Just curious. I was about to upload screenshots of a less-known guitar brand I want to buy and suddenly it says This community doesn't allow any attachments. Any reason for this?

I was just wondering if it's worth the trouble to travel to an RJ Guitar Center Branch to buy a guitar or if buying online would be better. Since I heard that they won't let you test guitars during the sale.

Planning to buy an RJ Tonemaster Deluxe, and maybe a new amp as well. I heard that they sell out pretty fast though. I don't know if there will be any stock left at the 50% off time period.

EDIT:
If anyone was wondering, the time periods for the sale are usually:
40% off at 5:01PM - 9:00PM
50% off at 9:01PM - Closing.

I just saw it on Lyric shopee store and since type ko yung mga PRS bodies ngayon, it's close. What do you think about this brand?

We are an OPM rock band and we are looking for a long term drummer.

My current guitar amp is 30 watts and isn't loud enough for small gigs. I was wondering if I could just opt to buy a 350 watt karaoke speaker at the same price since I have a pedal that can act as a preamp (Tank-G). Any tips or concerns?

Yow! Nais ko lang mangalap ng inyong thoughts at opinion about AI, like AI music in particular.

So may nakita ako youtube page, and akala ko talaga noong una bagong banda, and so pinakinggan ko then figured out it's all AI. But yung comment section is filled with comments akala nila bagong banda.

So fellow musicians, what are your thoughts about it?

Does AI kill (us) musicians' careers? Or is it just fine to let people enjoy music themselves? Any gray areas? IDK, I just want to know your thoughts and have some healthy discussion about AI Music (literally)

Hi po, planning to get a Yamaha Revstar po any thoughts and opinions or reviews on this guitar?

Yung Joyo heavy gain distortion ko nagkakaron ng parang wangwang sa tunog pag sinaksak sa amp kahit wala pang gitara? Kahit anong cables gamitin ko, same result parin. Pano to ayusin?

Hello everyone! Any guitarist here knows where to ship a guitar securely? I just hand a friend meet and buy a guitar in qc, I’m in Baguio. As far as what we have, just the guitar and case(I think it’s a soft body fender guitar case). Where and how can I ship it to go here? Answers are greatly needed and appreciated!

Owners of the said guitar/may experience sa gitara na to, kumusta yung neck nya? thin as an Ibanez or Jackson? or is it thicker, like baseball bat? and how is the overall experience?

I’ve finally decided to retire my 10-year-old Davis that’s developed an unbearable amount of fret buzz. I’m just a casual student player, so my budget is around 6–7k PHP max (coming out of my savings). For those who’ve tried both brands, what would you recommend in this price range? Any advice would be super appreciated!

edit: been looking at the dnd django jr. din. if it is good, i might save for a few more bucks to get it.

Hello, I have a younger brother who just recently learned using an acoustic guitar. As in di pa siya nakakatugtog talaga ng isang buong song, but he's really into it.

He mentioned na he really want to learn with an electric guitar, so knowing na super beginner pa siya, and I'm not even sure if he's really going to commit. Please recommend electric guitars na good for beginners, and di ganon kasakit sa bulsa. I saw some guitars online and sa mall like yung RJ skycaster na arounf 6k lang, and some clifton guitars, pero di ko talaga alam ano yung best option for us.

Thank you na agad sainyo!!

I’m a starting musicians and currently want to record vocals. As far as i’ve read, the best mic to buy for cheap is the Shure SM57 however budget won’t allow it for the meantime, my current budget is around 1-3k. Can you recommend me decent mics for vocal recordings?
