topics are taken from my book, How to Make a Million Dollars Playing the Guitar. Each section
contains several short monographs. They are all directly related to helping you learn how to
make a good living and achieve lasting success in the music business. I have kept them brief
for easy reading, but they will give you a feel for the work, joy, challenges, and rewards you
have ahead of you.

These articles will give you useful information, but to really understand how the entrepreneurial
guitarist thinks and what steps you will have to take, you will need to buy my book.

By reading the book will you be able to explore the topics in depth. You will learn the
information and understand the processes needed to earn a million dollars playing the guitar.
