Earning Money with Guitar playing

Now that you’ve learn the basics of the guitar, how to play notes and chords, and how to purchase the right guitar for you, why not try to earn a little money with your new hobby! There a few ways to do this.
You can consider forming your own band. Look for people that are around your age that share the same musical interests. If you go to a music seminar you can find potential band members. You can also consider looking towards school music programs, music stores and music teachers in the area to find potential band mates. You can put in an ad in your local paper but this could be expensive. A better choice is to post a flyer in the music store in your neighborhood or just talking to others. There are internet bulletin boards where you can advertise for band mates.
You can also consider giving lessons once you become an advanced guitar player. You can advertise in music stores and in the local newspaper. You may want to print a flyer and include your contact information, where you are, the hours you work and what you charge. You should also indicate what level you teach and what music genre you teach.
If you love music and enjoy playing your guitar you might want to find a job working in a music store. If you become employed in a music store, you will meet other musicians such as yourself and you will gain knowledge about the guitar and various music styles. You may learn about paying jobs for musicians. Another important thing is that your will meet musicians in your town and learn from them.
A great perk that you receive when working in a music store is that you get an employee discount on guitar gear. You will have access to new items and find out what in new and hot in the world of guitarists. You can learn a lot from customers so you should listen.
