💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
If you're interested in learning how to get music gigs as a guitar player and how to make money playing guitar, then this video is for you.
For many years, I played a ton of gigs on the guitar to make a living.
I’ve always been teaching, but for a while, I was making a good portion of my money from playing music gigs.
I learned a lot along the way.
For this video, I share my top 10 tips for how to make money playing guitar when you get music gigs.
I do make a distinction between gigs and shows.
If you're playing a show at a venue and you want your friends to come and watch your band, that's a whole different deal.
I'm talking about gigs, like playing background music at events.
I explain the tips in that context, but all of them will apply to almost any kind of professional music gig that you want to do.
Make sure you watch until the end because the main takeaway is very encouraging if you're interested in playing music gigs at all!
I hope you enjoyed this lesson about how to make money playing guitar and how to get music gigs. Let me know what you thought in the comments.
Thanks! :)
