STUDENT NEWSLETTER 4 February
2007
I hope this letter finds you all happy, healthy, and warm. Good sitting inside and playing guitar days. Don't let your furnace dry out the air in your house. It is hard on your throat and really bad for guitars. Fire up that vaporizer or humidifier.
Thanks to the Internet there are MANY ways to market your music and make money having fun at the same time! Check out CDBaby.com or MP3.com . You could be selling your songs on Itunes and get a check every week for life. What is holding you back?
How do you write a song? You will need a Rhyming Dictionary, Thesauruses, book on Clichés, and a book on how to write songs to get started. Keep a note pad handy to write down ideas before they disappear. Song writing is a process that can take a while. Know your market. Get the newest edition of The Song Writers Market http://www.amazon.com/Songwriters-Market-2006/dp/1582973989 . It will show you how and where to market your songs. Also shows what is hot and what is not.
Keep in mind that one hit song and you will be rich. I think we all got one in us. Don't hide your light under a bushel basket!
Money won't buy happiness, but it can rent more than you can stand! Why not try?
The search for the perfect tone never ends. But after years of consideration, trial and error this is my rig more or less. It is not easy to find the original vintage stuff anymore, so this is the new equivalent.
