I’ll show you where you can sell your music, how to sell your music, and ways to work with people to get more consistent and repeat gigs. I started from scratch, I didn’t know anybody in the business – I didn’t have a social media following and I didn’t have targeted ads. Now I’m getting daily sales and gig requests online with over 100+ commission jobs finished. I’ll show you how I cut through the over-saturated market of online commission and library music, I’ll show you real examples of how to pitch and get more gigs, and we’ll cover a bunch of options for you to explore and find what fits best for your music business.

I’m a Media Composer and Performance Musician out of Southern California – I have composed and orchestrated for short films, commercials, mobile videogames, and audiobooks.

Truefire Andy Wood's Practice Sessions: Melodic Morphing TUTORIAL

Truefire Andy Wood’s Practice Sessions: Melodic Morphing TUTORIAL

Learn and Practice Melodic Soloing with Interactive Practice Sessions
At some point or another, all improvising guitar players find themselves in the proverbial rut; tired of hearing themselves playing the same go-to licks and scale runs in the same old go-to positions on the neck. Sound familiar?

Andy Wood’s Melodic Morphing edition of Practice Sessions is designed to bust you out of that rut and develop into a more tasty, original and multidimensional soloist.

”Guitar players need a multi-pronged melodic strategy consisting of ear twisting harmonic tweaks, attitude-loaded lines, and lots of slippery, melodic pyrotechnics.

In this hands-on course, we’ll focus on building your soloing techniques and improvisational skills by working on 8 melodic morphing techniques that I personally use all of the time.”

Andy will kick off each study with a breakdown of the melodic idea or technique and then he’ll perform an example over a backing track to give you a feel for how it sits in a groove.

”We’ll start out with a demonstration and practice session to get flat 9 triads under your fingers. Slippery, Slidey lines are a huge part of my sound, so we’ll dig into some of those in the second session. The third session focuses on a flat five triad flavor.

We’ll dig into some country twang with hybrid picking in the fourth set and then we’ll evoke a little Eric Johnson-style pentatonic pyrotechnics in the next. We’re gonna bend it some like Hendrix in the sixth.

We’ll add in soulful, melodic vibes take the focus in session seven and finally , we’ll work on some descending sassy licks to add some attitude to your playing!”

You’ll cap off each soloing study together with a hands-on practice session. Andy will roll the track and you’ll trade back and forth as he guides you through the core examples followed by several variations and embellishments.

Working regularly with these “practice sessions” is the key to having command of all 8 melodic morphing soloing and improvisational approaches.

You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.

Truefire Stephen Mougin’s Solo Factory: Bluegrass TUTORIAL

Truefire Stephen Mougin's Solo Factory: Bluegrass TUTORIAL

Truefire Stephen Mougin’s Solo Factory: Bluegrass TUTORIAL

Learn How To Craft Memorable Bluegrass Solos
Most bluegrass songs share similar 4-bar chord progressions for the first half, second half, or even both halves of the song. Learning a vocabulary of 4-bar phrases that work over these common 4-bar progressions is the key to learning how to create your own bluegrass solos and improvisations, and the key to learning this versatile vocabulary is Stephen Mougin’s Bluegrass edition of Solo Factory.

“When crafting a bluegrass guitar solo, it’s very important to reference the melody of the song you’re playing; however, you’ll discover that the same core melodic ideas can be found in many songs throughout the bluegrass catalog.

In this course, we’ll work in the keys of G, C and D — the most common keys in bluegrass. In the first section, I’ll show you twelve 4-bar phrases for the first half of a solo. In the second section, I’ll show you twelve 4-bar phrases for the second half of your solo. In the final section, I’ll show you how to glue one first-half phrase to any second-half phrase to play an authentic-sounding bluegrass solo on any song that shares those chord patterns.

Using a capo with these 24 phrases, you’ll be armed for success at your next bluegrass jam session — no matter what the key!”

Stephen will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.

Truefire Josh Smith’s Practice Sessions: Blue Highways Soloing TUTORIAL

8 Soloing and Improvisation Techniques for Blues Guitarists
Josh Smith covered a wide variety of key approaches and techniques in his highly acclaimed Blue Highways Masterclass. Throughout the masterclass, Josh stressed the importance of the “head, the hand, and the heart” as the building blocks for honing your skill as an improviser.

In this hands-on course, you’ll take your soloing and improvisational skills to the next level by digging deeper with Josh on 8 of his own most impactful approaches.

”We’ll start out with a practice session for getting double stop licks under your fingers. Triplet patterns are a huge part of my soloing, so we’ll dig into those in the second session.

The third session focuses on expressive bending licks. Hybrid picking is next and then we’ll look at another one of my favorites, sliding licks.

We’ll work on chromaticism — the simplest way to start building connections between licks and chords. The seventh session focuses on repetitive licks, which are crucial in creating a theme in your solos and giving the listener something to latch on to.

And finally we’ll work on open string lines, another great way to add color to your improvisation and make your story really unique.”

What makes this format really special is how you’ll get these approaches firmly under your fingers — you’ll practice each of the concepts together with Josh, in a series of interactive practice sessions.

Josh will kick off each study with a breakdown of the key concept, technique, or underlying approach and then he’ll perform the approach over a backing track to give you a feel for how it sits in the rhythm section.

Learn 8 Key Honky Tonk Soloing Approaches with Interactive Practice Sessions
Holding down the lead guitar role in a country-western band calls for having a solid grip on a wide range of soloing and lead guitar techniques. In this Honky Tonk Techniques edition of Practice Sessions from Matthew Lee, you will dig deep into 8 of the most important country soloing techniques to learn, practice and play.

Matt guides you through detailed demonstration and interactive practice sessions giving you a solid grip on how to play Single Note Lines, Double Stops, Country Bends, Chicken Picking, Repetitive Licks, Open String Lines, Pedal Steel Licks, and Chordal Licks.

”I’ll kick off each study with a breakdown of the specific right and left-hand mechanics involved. I’ll also perform a lick using the technique over a backing track to give you a feel for how it sounds in a musical context.

We’ll start off studying single note lines over a train beat groove in A. Then, we’ll hone your double stop technique to get that country western snap. There’s a country bending lick study in the key of E. We’ll dial in your chicken picking technique. We’ll work on repetitive pedal tone licks…

There’s a study focused on open string lines. We’ll mix it up with licks that emulate the sound of a pedal steel on guitar. And finally, we’ll cap it off with a practice session focused on chordal licks.

We’ll cap off each honky tonk study together with a hands-on practice session. I’ll roll the track and we’ll trade back and forth as I guide you through the core examples followed by several variations and embellishments.”

Music/Video: Histories, Aesthetics, Media PDF

Music/Video: Histories, Aesthetics, Media PDF

Music/Video: Histories, Aesthetics, Media PDF

This book is a lively, comprehensive and timely reader on the music video, capitalising on cross-disciplinary research expertise, which represents a substantial academic engagement with the music video, a mediated form and practice that still remains relatively under-explored in a 21st century context.

The music video has remained suspended between two distinct poles. On the one hand, the music video as the visual sheen of late capitalism, at the intersection of celebrity studies and postmodernism. On the other hand, the music video as art, looking to a prehistory of avant-garde film-making while perpetually pushing forward the digital frontier with a taste for anarchy, controversy, and the integration of special effects into a form designed to be disseminated across digital platforms.

In this way, the music video virally re-engenders debates about high art and low culture. This collection presents a comprehensive account of the music video from a contemporary 21st century perspective. This entails revisiting key moments in the canonical history of the music video, exploring its articulations of sexuality and gender, examining its functioning as a form of artistic expression between music, film and video art, and following the music video’s dissemination into the digital domain, considering how digital media and social media have come to re-invent the forms and functions of the music video, well beyond the limits of “music television”.
