Are you ready to sharpen up your guitar and business skills so you can work more? ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Can you walk in to any audition with exactly the right skills to get the gig? Can you nail your tracks the first time when you get a session? Can you do what is required of any gig? Do you know how to find work other than reading Craigslist or local ads? If you have a day job, do you know how to get a tax refund from your music career? Do you know how to get the same sounds in a large venue that you get in a club? Can you sight read if that is what is required? If your answer is no to any of these questions, I can help. There is only one reason musicians don't work: You need ALL of the right skills. "Best new guitarist in a decade"-- Rolling Stone Magazine (a long time ago) "New York Guitar Guru" -- The Village Voice Whether you need to improve your rock and blues soloing, understand real jazz improvisation, play classical, develop right hand technique or fingerpicking, learn more practical theory, need to work on sounds, or just want to develop new styles of playing I offer the skills required of professional guitarists. You have to be ready with the right skill set for any gig you find. I started teaching as the Syracuse University referral guitar instructor when I was a student in their music program, I now teach one full day each week because I enjoy it. Music is hands on. Quality performing and recording experience are the most basic requirements of any music teacher for translating musicianship into practical and marketable skills. Moreover, as a music industry professor and agent (after an accident that didn't allow me to play for a while) at a major NYC talent agency, I can teach the business skills to be a full-time working musician. MY QUALIFICATIONS: Performing and recording credits as the guitarist and/or musical director with many Gold and Platinum award winning household name rock, r&b, and blues musical artists ranging from Paul Schaffer, Ben E. King, The Hollies, Foghat, to Joe Cocker headlining everywhere from Entertainment Tonight, HBO, USA Network, VH-1 to Madison Square Garden to PBS or the Time-Life Video Series. Doctorate Four years traditional music school (Classical Guitar Performance: Syracuse University, I was also the referral guitar instructor for non-guitar majors 1973-1976 while a student). Special Studies Program at Berklee College of Music, and private lessons with top jazz guitarists including Sal Salvador and Jack Wilkins (not to mention what I learned from classical guitarist Elliot Fisk). Full-time Professional Player (telephone to ask where you can come see me perform any week, where I do sessions, find out what cds and videos to purchase at your local music store). I have taught at twelve major Universities and colleges including the State University of New York, Syracuse University, and Volunteer State Community College, including several Music Industry courses when my schedule permitted. Reasonable rates without any hidden fees. I provide all of your materials for free including top quality instruments for you to play during your lesson. joeysixstrings.com Toll Free: 1-877-JOEYSIX No text.
