Learn To Play The Guitar - FREE Guitar Videos

Last week I had a conversation with an independent music producer that lacked live instrument skills.

He had created several hot tracks in Pro-Tools but was missing the critical piece.

The guitar....yes.. the guitar can make or break a hot song.

He tried several times to locate a professional guitar player in his area but did not have any luck.

After getting frustrated he reached out to us for a solution.

We told him that he should consider doing the guitar tracks himself even though he was not the best guitar player.

After a few minutes went by he finally gave into the idea.

So we suggested he check out Free Guitar Video.com

They offer over 90 Free Online Video lessons and tons text only lessons. The videos are designed to help new musicians understand and play the guitar faster than most programs on the internet.

The second website we suggested was Workshoplive.com.

They have over 50 professional music teachers, 3000+students, 2,200 lessons and 16,000 interactive videos.

After giving him these suggestions he signed up with both websites and no longer has a problem with creating guitar tracks for his music.

If you are struggling to make your guitar tracks sound professional, I would suggest you check out these websites.

How to make rap beats like the hottest music producers in the industry

Many independent music producers struggle to create rap beats and r&b beats that have a commercial sound. Often times this is because they do not have access to the same instruments, recording studios and professional musicians that the major music producers use.

To overcome this and achieve a quality sound, independent music producers need to study the arrangement and mixing styles of many major music producers and in order to do that you have do research.

Below are (4) helpful steps every independent music producer should take if they want their rap beats & r&b beats to stand out in the crowd.

1. Check out YouTube to see if there are any video’s posted of any major music producers creating rap beats and r&b beats. I’ve located a few videos that might help you out.

2. Locate the hottest musicians in your area and ask them to play or do overdubs on your rap beats and r&b beats. Although there are a lot of good keyboards on the market that sound great, there is nothing like the sound of a live bass guitar, lead guitar, organ or trumpet.

Producers at Mix Me Entertainment bridge sounds between live and digital instruments on 95% of the tracks produced.

3. Go to your local colleges and universities that offer music and media courses. Ask the professor or students to mix your rap beats and r&b beats for course credit. Often times this will cost you absolutely nothing and you will receive a quality mixed product.

4. Go to a major recording studio in your area and have a professional engineer master your rap beats and r&b beats.

Also if you want to take your rap beats & r&b beats to a new level you should invest in music lessons for guitar or piano. If you find it difficult to locate a teacher in your area there a many online sites that offer lessons.

If you would like to check them out, I’ve listed some of the top sites many music producers use to increase their production skills.
