3) Become friends with bigger bands in the area
4) Write songs
5) Practice, practice, practice
6) Mooch off the bigger bands for gigs (openings, later sharing headlines)
7) When people like you, do some gigs of your own and let smaller bands mooch off you for gigs
8) Release an album, and let the world fall into your hands.
9) Be rich and famous

That's how I hope it works anyway. We're up to about step 5 or 6. I'll let you know if it works. Anybody can use my guide for free.

I meant a book, but alright...
