Living of the music

[Martin Spaans]

I guess the most guitarists here have a job besides the music.
Are there guitarists here who can make a living out of it and only concentrate on music,
real pro's.

Not I, not yet.

You should check out the first question on this page though, kinda give you an insite to being a pro: http://www.lesclaypool.com/ask/archive/12.shtml

No matter good you are, no matter how well practiced you are, it seems like theres never a time where someones throwing lucrative offers in your face. For the most part it takes a lot of sacrifices to even to get to a semi-comfortable level of success, and being at the right place at the right time. Its important to just keep a healthy train of thoughts and remind yourself why you're a muscian to begin with. Which comes to the question that I think a lot of us should ask ourselves every now and then, and that is :Could you record an album and not release it or let anyone else hear it and still be satisfied with it?
