and idea of how i can find if peoples looking for one
by the way im in england
It's not that uncommon to just find people you don't really know. Black Sabbath was started out of a yellow pages ad I think. It may have just been Ozzy though, I think he put in an ad for himself as a hard rock singer and Sabbath called him.
But yeah, he can put up flyers or start going to the guitar center and just playing guitar for a couple of hours. It's sort of an investment. A bunch of musicians will hear you just jamming in the lobby, and if they like what they hear they'll probably try to start a conversation.
I can't really think of anything else. Myspace and Facebook I guess. If theres any clubs around that play lots of live music you can put up flyers there too with contact info. Flyers with contact info is the best thing I can come up with. It's sort of hard to just find musicians because they don't exactly always propogate that they play instruments. It's somewhat of a luck thing.
Thats one of the reasons I want to go to a music college. Networking.
