Steve Lynch (Autograph) | Don't Buy the Ferrari: Real Talk on Money, Music, and Making It Last

What does 50 years in the music industry actually teach you about money?In this episode of Backstage Money, host Jason K. Powers sits down with Steve Lynch, co-founder and lead guitarist of Autograph, pioneer of the two-handed tapping technique, and author of Confessions of a Rock Guitarist. Steve talks about going from an eighth-grade dropout to Guitar World's Solo of the Year, signing with RCA backstage at Madison Square Garden on the Van Halen tour, watching Aerosmith go broke in 1985, losing five promoters in one year doing 80s nostalgia touring, and why "write more songs" is the single most important piece of financial advice he never received.This one is packed with real, hard-won lessons from someone who has seen every era of the music industry up close and lived to tell the story honestly.Follow Steve LynchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/stevenllynchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevelynchofficialConfessions of a Rock Guitarist: https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Rock-Guitarist-Steve-Lynch-ebook/dp/B0CW1PWYK5Follow Backstage MoneyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/backstagemoneyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/backstagemoneyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backstagemoneyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backstagemoneyX (Twitter): https://x.com/jasonkpowersFree Guide for MusiciansDownload A Musician's Guide to Financial Stabilityhttps://1024wealth.com/music
