How to Make a Million Dollars Playing the Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The best book on the market about making it in the music or entertainment business is Doug Niedt's "How to Make a Million Dollars Playing the Guitar."
Why do I say that? First of all Mr Niedt is one of the world's greatest guitar players, he has been there and done that; just check out his concert, recording or teaching background. Second, Mr. Niedt is from Missouri (the 'show me' state). Like Harry Truman, Doug tells it like it is.
Doug gives you 9 questions to answer, for example, "I can't imagine myself doing anything else." Doug then runs you through how to set up goals, have the right attitude, keeping your finances in check and many more lessons. By the time you are finished with the book, you will have a guideline for success.
One of the striking things I learned when reading the book is that talent does not count that much. Doug explains that there are a lot of famous entertainers who do not have much talent, but they do have an audience which is very important!
Doug's book also has chapters on selling your own CDs, good business procedures, creating a web site etc. Bravo Doug, I recommend this book without equal or qualification.
