DOn't really know anything about that school, but I heard only good things about it.
Regarding the thing about big rock stars - most of us usually feel that way. But you know it is not like that in real life. After college you often end up in places you never thought you would be. Some people don't even pursue music, and find out they want something completely different, and others do become that rock stars they wanted in some way. So my point is the present is what counts. I suggest you go to that school and be persistant. Work is somethign that eventually always pays off. If you work hard and I mean really hard, then you will get a break eventually. It doesn't happen when the man wants usually, but it will happen some time if you be persistant enough and work very hard to become that great guitar player that you want. If that is what you want - go for it man. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Thanks man, thats great advice. Im definitly willing to put in the effort, I just want to make sure that im as productive as possible and I get as much success as my effort justifies. Being at the right school has a big impact on how rapidly someone can grow as a musician so I need to make the right choice. I would say that in a school you learn some very basics about the job you will do later on, no matter what the school is, and then when you get a job, you learn the trade. So putting the right amount of effort is imo the thing that give you a rapid grow as a musician, not being in a right school. And Musicians Institute is definitely a right school that gives you some very good basics if you plan to do music in your life. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

A friend of mine went to GIT back in the 80s and said it helped his career a lot. He went on to set up GI (the UK equivalent) in the UK before he sold it on and still works as a pro musician. When I spoke to him about it, many years ago, and as I remember he really got a lot from it and might no have gone on and done what he did without having had the experience. He also met a lot of wonderful musicians (including Mike Stern and Frank Gambale).
GIT, Berkley etc however are great provided that you put in as much as possible - if you aren't going to then tbh why bother? Also you need to retain your own self of individuality - a lot of players come out of there as great players but who sound the same. A nice take on it from the sax player Ornette Coleman 'To improvise... [is to] be your self, not what school teaches you'. All in all I'd say go if you can Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
