Hi All,
Started playing at 11, 31 now, also established as an Audio Mastering Engineer working around my normal job in the Chemical Industry. Got a few grades and qualifications too.
Plan to start teaching in the next few years, I've started getting things down into pdfs using Sibelius.
Style-wise, mostly Satch and Vai, playing along with backing tracks.
my website:
www.shayneberry.net
is going to start seeing more guitar/teaching tabs on it so it will double as a mastering service website, with a guitar teaching off-shoot.
What I would really like, it'd be so helpful:
I've got the whole "virtuoso" artists catered for, and my theory knowledge is complete, but it would be a huge help if people could throw in some names of who the main artists are in different styles / genres.
Eg, Gary Moore and Clapton are big Blues Rock players, (you get the idea). I could do with getting a collection of Music, Backing Tracks, Music Books of many different styles, from the big artists, and learn a few of each, so when I start to advertise as a teacher, I can use slogans like "learn your favorite style, play the songs you wish you could" etc (again, you get the idea). I don't want somebody to arrange a lesson, say, "I like Jazz", and not have anything to use as a starting point. At the moment i've got enough time to listen to everything and get familiar with it all, so hope to prepare well.
So, sorry about the essay: Could people please throw a few names and styles my way?
Many thanks,
Shayne

Hi Olly,
I've been Mastering "professionally" for just over a year (I use the word sparringly as it'll never allow me to leave my regular day job). But it does bring in "treat money, so the work is very welcome".
(Before that I was working for free to gain trust from clients).
But, I think it's time to start teaching, the hourly rate from the teachers I've spoken with seems worthwhile. So these my evenings "me time" is split between practicing and preparing.
Great to be part of the forum, hope I can offer some help as well as receive it.
