Ep. 92: Leverage Your Guitar To Get Great Gigs!

Why do some people get great gigs and others can’t get a feature at an open mic? In this episode, we argue that your guitar playing is in fact the gateway to consistent and better paying gigs. Picture this: You’re a songwriting guitarist who can play solo or accompany a singer, are playing covers and originals that keep audiences energized and paying attention. Why? Because your guitar playing is truly capturing the vibe of the songs and moving the set list along. Plus, people you don’t know are coming to your shows AND you’re getting hired on a consistent basis and are the go-to person for their yearly great paying opportunities. That’s what Brian Belonzi has done. He was able to  lessen hours at his day job and start taking on more consistent and better paying gigs, all due to using his guitar and song knowledge to present professionally. Brian's not just a live performer - he's also an accomplished songwriter, having written music for both artists and sync placements on TV shows like CBS's "Young Sheldon" and HULU's "Cruel Summer." And as a guitar coach at SFG, Brian specializes in the Songwriting for Guitar methods. He's passionate about sharing his knowledge with aspiring musicians and helping you improve your guitar skills. Tune into this week’s episode and get inspired to leverage your own skills to write better songs and perform better live.
