Description

Want to play solo as more than a hobby? Take some tips from a thirty-year veteran. As the music scene changes, more musicians are working without a net, performing solo. Working solo can be a tough job for the guitarist-vocalist. In Twenty Frets, No Nets, Advice for the Solo Guitarist, Fred Adams, Jr. lays out the lowdown on a sometimes tricky facet of professional music. In the fourteen chapters of Twenty Frets, No Nets, you'll find tips and strategies on things like: how to build a pleasing repertoire, how to manage management, how to market a solo act, how to control the crowd, how to avoid entanglements with the IRS, and other issues that can bedevil the solo performer. Written with humor born of experience and illustrated with "war stories" from thirty years in the trenches, Fred Adams Jr.'s Twenty Frets, No Nets provides a road map for the beginner and offers a few new tricks for the experienced performer.

Author Biography:

FRED ADAMS, JR. began playing the guitar at the age of eight and has been playing professionally for over fifty years. He has worked with "just about every kind of band, group, orchestra, and ensemble," and of course he has worked as a solo act since the eighties. Adams has written for Guitar Player Magazine, including "Man Does not Read by Tab Alone," the Guest Editorial for the magazine's 20th Anniversary issue. When he's not gigging in Southwestern Pennsylvania venues, he writes fiction. His novels Hitwolf, Six Gun Terror, vol.1 and vol.2, and C.O. Jones: Mobsters and Monsters have been published over the past two years by Airship 27 Productions, with more to come. "How would I characterize myself? I live in perpetual terror of boredom." Twenty Frets, No Nets is his twelfth book.
