"Are you serious? How in the world can I start making good money with music using an acoustic guitar--and train for American Idol? And I can do this even if I don't play guitar??"
“The answer is YES! I play live acoustic guitar music almost every week of the year, making good, regular money---and I’m going to show you exactly how you can do it, too--even if you don’t play guitar and can’t even sing! And lots of people are now using acoustic guitar shows to train for American Idol and other competitions--read below!”
How can artists / musicians make money from music these days? As musicians, we’d all love to make our money (and good money) through music instead of some other job but it seems like it’s hard to make it pay enough unless you are in a popular band, you ‘know somebody’ or you win American Idol, X Factor or America’s Got Talent.

Phillip Phillips, American Idol winner 2012, played his acoustic guitar when he auditioned and throughout his performances. How did Phillip Phillips win American Idol 2012? Most of it was that America voted for him because of his singing, acoustic guitar skills, and more importantly, his way of charming the American idol audience using some of the techniques in this book!
To make good weekly music money, all you need is at least one person that sings, and one that plays an instrument. Then, you have an ‘acoustic act’ that you can market to clubs/venues. If you can play acoustic guitar and sing, that’s even better because you keep the money! How much money? Well, if you make $100 a night 4 nights a week, that’s about $1600 a month for 16 hours/week (average 3- 4 hours per live music set). And some people make $200 or...
