Hello,


I'm some-what new to playing and I'm looking for a guitar buddy. Someone to practice with through zoom.

Hi From-Oklahoma,


That's a great idea and I wish you the best luck with finding someone.


Keep in mind though, that 2 people cannot play music simultaneously on Zoom.


It just doesn't work due to the fact that the technology just isn't there yet. There is delay, the the music of one person does not line up with the music made by the other person (if you're trying to play the same thing at once).


With a Zoom buddy, you would have to take turns playing something - and maybe then each of you can give one another feedback or suggestions. 


Or, one of you can mute and play along with the other person, but neither of you will hear anything but your selves.


Still could be a good way to practice though, and have some fun doing it along with a buddy!


Can't wait till people CAN play TOGETHER on Zoom!


Best of luck to you - Lisa
