Work - How to make a living
- Wanted to make a living as a guitarist, but since
I'm not Pepe Romero and very few people bother
going to a concert with a mediocre classical guitarist
I decided to do something else for a living;)
Worked in a factory, took a bunch of courses and a
2-year technical degree in petroleum, and now I
work offshore on an oil platform...
Classical Guitarist Info - the web portal
- Started out making the site with a desire to know
what went on in the world of classical guitar.
Lets face it; no matter how beautiful the nylon
stringed guitar sounds, most people don't even
know we exist... so therefore I'm pretty amazed
that there are so many of us 'freaks' out there.
I'm having great trouble updating all the info!
Appreciate any tips you might give me...
