Rhett... trust me on this... start practicing your singing privately every chance you get... in the shower, singing along with the radio, in-a-low-voice along with your band, sing along with your guitar (like George Benson), etc... every single chance you get. Then learn and practice doing harmonies. - I was always just-the-guitar-player too and thought I couldn't sing. I also played pretty complicated guitar work, and thought it wasn't possible to play that and sing simultaneously... Then after doing all the above recommendations and getting my pitch nailed I realized I actually had a great voice (I bet you do too) and it turned out singing and playing at the same time wasn't hard at all. - Rhett, if you sang well, along with your already great guitar playing, you'd be unstoppable. -- Great look, great guitar playing, and great singing... talk about a triple threat! - Just sayin' bro... I think you're more than a sideman.

@TomerBusidan 4 года назад

I love this channel and Rhett but gotta give a thumbs down here. It’s a 14 min video, and the actual content is from 8:30- 10:30. And that content is not insightful. How does he get paid? He gets paid a guaranteed rate every show. Some tours provide a per diem for food. Some folks save their per diem as much as possible, eating cheaply, to save up for gear. That’s it. That’s all the content in this 14 min video. No mention of, say, saving receipts so you can write that food or gear off on your taxes. Some good shots of their tour but look elsewhere for the finances of touring.

Finally I also enjoy playing at Senior centers, coffee shops, rest homes.etc. Most of this last group I play for will be paid venues on a case by case basis.

Well first the band goes from vans to buses then separate bus for the band and gang. If the name gets a hit or two then the name gets their own bus. Then after no hits for a while then its back to everyone on the bus and you hit the fair circuit. County hit isn't like a mainstream hit money wise. That is why tour buses are leased because when the money runs out it's back to the van.

@ronshawver6880 5 лет назад

Matt Robin Do you think that’s because the commercial channels cycling through new music so quickly doesn’t have a chance to become a classic. Or because the songs are sort of forgettable. This same argument can be made against hip hop. Those two genres have the shortest shelf life.

Like he mentioned, I’ve seen some openers for bigger bands or early day festival gigs, that I go for the headliner. Then if I see a band I really liked open or on one of those early festival slots, I’ll possibly buy a ticket for a theater smaller gig when they roll back in town the following year. A lot of younger bands don’t understand...but unless you are a cover artist or wedding band, you gotta hit the road. However I do feel bad for bands that do house shows at art gigs and cone out negative majority of the time. But I guess if you do it long enough you’ll grow a small crowd and break even.
