Subject: RE: Your best musical advice in one post!
TURN OFF THE TELEVISION. UNPLUG IT. PUT IT IN A CLOSET.

1)Make a music room or corner in your hoMe. Furnish and organize so your instrument is handy, on a stand for example. A good chair to play on. Have your tuner or picks or song books or cd player, etc. whatever you use in that area. 2)Buy a music stand. 3)Get yourself a metronome or "Dr. Beat" and count yourself through your songs, learning to maintain the tempo and the timing. SINGERS, WHERE DO YOU COME IN? 4)Organize your lyrics/sheetmusic/chord charts. 5)Unless your last name is Guthrie or Seeger or Tyson or Lennon or Carter or Cash, GET A GOOD EDUCATION OR A TRADE AND A DAY JOB.

Unless you're damn lucky you're going to need it.
