Being a guitar player is not about making money.If you think it is,stop right now and go back to that day job you hate.
Music and guitar playing should be a journey for you-- your band and your fans.Create value and give fans an entry into your world a world of purpose that fills time and space with your own way of playing that never ends.Knowing that,your artistic integrity will stay with you until you die.
Don't be a traditionalist either.Approach guitar playing with different phrasing and riff sequencing that challenges your playing.Play both original and cover tunes your way,not just to be different,but create your own guitar style in a so-called idealistic style all your own.
Your playing should also take other musicians and fans to a euphoric place that can only blues and old rock can give.
Better players will gravitate towards you--if your textural stylings are heart felt and have elements of a true guitar
guru.A real player also learns from others and experiments
in jams and rehearsals like crazy.
Playing music takes you to a world world of possibilities
not road blocks.The world where only true players like
you shine.
Much success to all players.
