These books literally changed my life and I might even go so far as to say gave me my life back.

Effortless Mastery taught me how to "set the rules so I always win." Is practicing for 1 hour 6 days out of the week or practicing for 1 minute every day better? 6 hours vs. It will teach you how to reprogram how you think about yourself to make success not about results but about the process.Įffortless Mastery- Kenny Werner: A fantastic book by one of the best jazz pianists of our time. Mindset- Carol Dweck: Have you ever thought to yourself, "I suck." Or, "I'm just not good enough."? If so, this book is a must read. However, where the 4 Hour Chef focuses on getting someone from 0 to great, the Art of Learning focuses on taking someone from great to the best in the world. The Art of Learning- Joshua Waitzkin: Like The 4 Hour Chef, The Art of Learning is all about the meta skill of learning how to learn most effectively. This book will arm you with the ability to grow faster not by focusing on becoming efficient but rather by becoming effective. Sure it takes a ton of hours to be great at anything but 10,000? Not a chance. The 4 Hour Chef- Tim Ferriss: I actually don't agree with Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hour rule. The War of Art- Steven Pressfield: This book tackles OP's steps #1 and #2 and makes them your bitch. I'd like to piggyback on this post with a few books that I've identified as being the most powerful tools for becoming a healthy artist. Trying to run a label with no product revenue stream is just not worth the hassle and building that with anything other than product sales requires financial backing which I don't have and/or want the responsibility of anymore, because if it goes tits up in the real world, I ( as the label owner ) am the one who has to deal with the bankruptcy shit. Apple FTR had access to absolutely bucket loads of cash.Īs I said though I make all of my income from live sound ( especially corporate work ) putting out my own music and doing the odd oldskool gig.

I'm quite happy to not run a label any more - no more burning money and time I don't have ( on merchandising, radio pluggers, guerilla marketing teams, street teams, server costs, management and all that other bullshit you still need to do with a staff you can't afford to pay ) the "amazing ability of that technology" isn't free in business once you take it away from being a hobby. I mean what you're talking about is a 360 deal with the artist for merch, touring, royalties and publishing in order to secure those "alternative" revenue streams, and as a small independent label then no artist in their right mind will accept a 360 deal from you and I don't blame them.
So I take it from all of this you're actually running a successful label and have managed to make this transition without the sales then? And here's a free 6 week music theory class that just started: Take a I - IV - V for example and try adding more chords in between.
I spent a lot of time learning about chords and totally neglected melody and rhythm.ĮDIT: Just wanted to say that you can take simple common chord progressions and spice them up/make them your own by adding other chords in between them or substituting out chords.

I think melody and rhythm is more important, but chords and harmony can help bring a melody to it's full potential.
Learning all of the melodic minor modes is helpful for this.īut most of all, don't get to hung up on chords. Learn chord-scale theory and know which scales/modes can be played on what chords. (Example: the difference between a C major triad and a C major 13 (#11) chord or a C7(b9 #9 b13) or the difference between a C minor triad and a C minor 6/9 chord). ("I Remember" does this a lot)Īlso there's a big difference between using basic triads and using 7th chords with lots of tensions. So if you're in C major, you can add in any chords from C minor, C Dorian, C Mixolydian, etc. It's where you can use any chords from any parallel scale source. Learn modal interchange (borrowed chords).
