How's it going guys. Just joined as a high bandwith member this morning at like 1 am. Anyhow...I'm pretty much a self taught guitarist thinking about making a living playing music. One option apparently is working as a proffesional studio musician. I was just wondering if any of you guys had worked as one before and if so what kind of stuff what be vital to know as far as music theory goes. Any tips would be also welcome...at the moment I'm totally clueless. I've only been playing for 3 years, but I'm really getting into some deep study about music theory and I even bought a keyboard to learn how to read music and such, and eventually plan to translate that to being able to read music on both guitar and bass.

Anyone have any experience as a studio musician? I'd love to know what someone wanting to get into that field would have to know. Thanks guys.
