Got to to look the part to fit the "Packaging" right? But the good news is, you'll end up looking great! So take plenty of press pix and what not so that once off the road and back to regular eating/living, you can have some killer pix for the demo/press pack. Assuming of course you can get a ripping six pack abs set in that short of time. God knows I couldn't. Branding is a B**TCH but hey, whattya gonna do eh? When Nightwish replaced Tarja, they tarted up the new gal to look just like her, died her hair and everything. When Ben Moody formed a band after Evanescence, he ended up hiring a singer gal that they tarted up just like Amy Lee. I"m sure if I got called to join TYR ( yeah right) they'd want me to get hair extensions and get on steroids. Todd Well that's the thing! I have been thinking a lot about the whole situation and I get it! It's like you are coming to a restaurant and if their food pictures are all nasty you will not eat there you will go somewhere else! If you are playing with celebrities you have to look 150% so when people see you they like "Man I want to look like this dude!" You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Well, that's one way of putting it, but when you join a team you also have to follow the rules so it would only be fair to do things this way. If you decide you want in, of course!

In here the great compromise done by musicians is to perform in cover bands and totally obliterate their musical personalities. I have A LOT of friends being tremendous musicians, but not having written anything worth noticing just because they didn't give themselves enough time to finish a product in its entirety. Too bad..

It's not news for me but being a good guitar player is not enough what you guys think about the situation and what would you do? Alex if I may; This is something you may approach peacefully and quietly, your best is all you ever have and you have no less, it is enough. There is no catch, time is neither short nor long, it is what it is. The hair and tats piece of cake. If your 6 pack needs diet and effort then do so. Do not falter or hesitate, envision success now and apply your self with consistent focus and meaning now. Follow your plan, you do know (intuition) what to do! Don't worry about being positive, do not worry at all. Think of it as being So. Have Faith. Relax, enjoy, succeed! I am very excited for you, be well You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
