Book excerpt: Secrets of The Electric Guitarist You play guitar. You love guitar. Now learn the REST! Secrets of The Electric Guitarist offers solid gold advice about being a great overall guitarist and musician, and the music business. Rick Stack provides an insider’s look at the world of a working musician, with practical “how to” steps, about playing in a band and performing, writing and recording music, buying music equipment, and health as related to being a musician. The book will keep you entertained with stories from Rick’s musical experiences. Are you ready to begin your journey of being the most complete guitarist and musician you can be? Shredding out cool riffs and licks is awesome, but there is a lot more to being an amazing guitarist as a working musician. You will learn all about starting a cover band, original band, being a band leader or a sideman. You will also learn the best way to run rehearsals, get great gigs, and tips on how to get your performing game rocking. Discover how easy it is to get started writing your own songs, and with Rick’s help you will get a clear road map to the recording process, with making home demos and going into a professional recording studio. You will gain insight into having effective and efficient guitar practice sessions. Learn health related advice to stay in top form and not get injured. Are you unsure what 6L6 tubes are or what scale length is on a guitar? Find out all you need to know about music equipment, so you can get amazing tone. Anything you do beyond playing as a hobby is going to require some knowledge of the music business. If you would like to be (or are already) a semi-professional/weekend warrior, or full time professional musician, you will want to know the secrets that will allow you to navigate the music industry with confidence. And how about making money? There is a myth that musicians don’t make much money. Rick dispels this myth and gives you a clear plan of attack to make your music career flourish. Secrets of The Electric Guitarist is a reference to use any time you embark on one of topics contained in the book. This is also a fun read for “guitar nerds” who love all things guitar. It took Rick over 35 years to learn everything in this book. You can learn it all here!
