She is equally interested in both the recording engineering program and the Music Video, Film and Television program and will probally take both eventually. Which should she take first? Which one has more jobs that pay more money? She is only interested in going to the musicians institute in hollywood california.
She should ask the money question at the institute./
Alright I’m a big Satriani fan and am wondering what others musicians have a similar sound to him. Obviously no one can sound exactly like him, but just in general. I’ve already listened to Steve Vai and Eric Johnson so. Any input would be much appreciated thanks!
Paul Gilbert is great. both his solo stuff and Racer X.
John Petrucci’s solo is good too.
Buckethead is another awesome guitarist and is very prolific.
Get some G3 vids they are great.
you could try Yngwie Malmsteen but he is more classical based.
Just out of curiosity… How many popular musicians write their own music? And I don’t mean the lyrics- composing the actual song. In other words, is it common for bands or artists to have songs written for them by other people?
It kind of bothers me that stars like britney spears are just handed the music track and lyrics, and make millions of dollars from it. IKD, just my opinion.
ususally, bands compose and write their own songs but the pop singers are too good for that and pay someother people to do it.
its complete shite of course, considering that the majority of thehuman population listens to the people that dont write or composetheir own stuff.
argh.
i hate this generation.
I’ve noticed that in music today, it’s VERY rare that an artist will already have some ideas for their music videos and album artwork.
For example, I know that Kurt Cobain would already have fully developed ideas for Nirvana’s music videos. How often does that kind of thing happen in today’s music? And can you list some bands/musicians who still do this?
I know that Green Day still make their own music and everything…but, I think this days almost nobody cares how will the song sound, they just care how will they look on the music video just like Beyonces and Lady Gagas song Video Phone…Try to listen first just to the song and then see the video…The song is awful, but the video!!!
What do musicians like Marilyn Manson, Trent Reznor, and William Control use for making their own music? I’m in a punk band but I have my own songs that are slow and more Nine Inch Nails than punk. Something where I can make beats and add different effects and add my voice. Not hip hop though. Thanks!
One of the good beat making programs is Sonic Producer. You can make all kind of beats really easily and it’s not expensive. Check this site.
I think there’d be a good cleanup in the Performing Arts question section if we got a purpose musicians questions forum. What do ya’ll think?
You are right on!! I am sure it’s coming soon if Yahoo is paying attention.
I’m puting together a website with a friend, and we want to interview bands / bandmembers as they pass through town. Also we would like to request phone interviews through whomever is representing them, and publish them on the site. These are NOT huge names, or people you would hear on the radio. More cult following type musicians from the industrial genre. What kind of certifications, licenses, or anything do we need to acquire to be able to do that?
I’m a journalist major in Chicago- this stuff is hard work but definitely worth it. You don’t need any particular licenses or anything. You just need to get in contact with the band- go to their website or whatever and see if they have a manager or someone you can call. Some smaller bands will list phone numbers for booking purposes too, so you could try that number. Most small bands would love the publicity and will probably be pretty open. You then just need to set up interviews with the band and be up front that you are considering publishing the answers to your questions.
