Hi guys! Welcome to my new activity!
If you have decided to make a career playing guitar
Or just want to make a side income. If you want to get a degree in music or figure out how to move to a different country to study or work in music field this topic is for you!
I have done it all! I had a successful career in Russia but quit it all and had to start from the beginning in the US!
When I moved I didn't know English very well and have never been in America! I didn't know how to get gigs!
Six years later I have done recordings with Rihanna, Eminem and Britney Spears played hundreds of shows and worked with great guitar players such as Greg Howe , Steve Vai and Frank Gambale!
And I can share my experience with you!
I will be posting once a week! If you have any questions you can ask me as well!
I hope this will be helpful for those of you who is trying to figure out where to start and where to go I will guide you through!

Im going to a school for music production where you will learn mixing, mastering and everything related, also how to make start a company (for example a studio) and work on my musical skills at the same time. So thats a start. They also invite experienced and in the national famous producers for lessons.
Im currently learning piano too.

Is that enough I have to ask or do you need to learn like 10 different instruments? smile.gif

It's cool that you are going to school! Sound engineer is a very cool profession!

I wanted to make my first post about the most popular music school in the world!
Berklee College of Music
Here is their website
http://www.berklee.edu/
How to apply:
They have scholarship auditions all over the world
Here is the list of all auditions
http://www.berklee.edu/admissions/general/...tion_dates.html

So to apply you need to fill out this form
https://secure.berklee.edu/AI/prospects/

For audition:
When I was auditioning 6 years ago I had to:
- Play one instrumental song with backing track ( I chose Paul Gilbert)
- Play Blues I-IV-V progression
- Ear training one of the professors will play a few notes and a few phrases and you have to play it back on guitar
The whole audition process takes about 15 minutes and than they will mail you the results!

Let me know if you have any questions or need help!
