My only worry is how I'm going to make a career out of doing the thing I love. Is it even possible to make a career out of knowing/playing guitar? I mean, other than the possibility of getting famous, how else can a guitarist get paid for his craft? Can someone shed some light on this subject? All the music career websites I've found were not very helpful. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Building your own studio and producing might not be a bad thing to do. In the end each guitar player is a producer for himself so why not record and produce other bands/players?

I believe they hire you just have to be in the right area. And have a backround for it. - John You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
