Acerca de esta escucha
This audiobook highlights tips and tricks learned over two decades of real-world experience as a touring guitarist. For bands and musicians who are not signed, don’t have managers or agents, but are willing to do the hard work and pay their dues to take their show on the road. From advice on how to properly pack a trailer, to the various ways to place a microphone in front of an amplifier, this audiobook includes a wide range of topics, and is sure to have something for musicians of all experience levels.
Major topics addressed include, but are not limited to:
- Planning the tour - from how to choose which cities to visit to how to pack your trailer or van.
- Promoting the tour - from how to write a press release to how to maximize your social media use.
- Gear and supplies - from how to set up your guitar and which effects work best live to where to place the mic in front of your amp.
- Life on the road - from the best gas stations and how to deal with boredom to winter driving tips.
- Putting on a great show - from how to fine-tune your tone to a room to how to get along with your bandmates for optimum teamwork.
- Merchandise and revenue - from how to get creative when it comes to choosing your merch, to crowdfunding techniques, to tips on making sure you get paid by the venue.
- Connecting with fans - from using social media marketing creatively to general tips on in-person interactions with fans at the show.
About the expert: Brandon Humphreys has been playing guitar and singing in semiprofessional and tour-support bands for more than 20 years.

With student loan debt piling up and no lucrative gigs around the corner, Scott Bradlee found himself in a situation all too familiar to struggling musicians and creative professionals, unsure whether he should use the little income he had to pay the rent on his basement apartment on the fringes of New York City or to avoid defaulting on his loans. It was under these desperate circumstances that Bradlee began experimenting, applying his passion for jazz, ragtime, and doo-wop styles to contemporary hits by singers like Macklemore and Miley Cyrus - and suddenly an idea was born.

Bob Mould stormed into America's punk rock scene in 1979, when clubs across the country were filling with kids dressed in black leather and torn denim, packing in to see bands like the Ramones, Black Flag, and the Dead Kennedys. Hardcore punk was a riot of jackhammer rhythms, blistering tempos, and bottomless aggression. And at its center, a new band out of Minnesota called Hüsker Dü was bashing out songs and touring the country on no money, driven by the inspiration of guitarist and vocalist Bob Mould. Their music roused a generation.
