Left Handed Guitar: Sound Tempest Review

Just an aside from the trials and tribulations of being a left handed guitar player, I've decided to write a review about a web site that is owned by an Internet friend of mine, Andrew. Andrew and his fiance' Jillian are both award winning world and electronic musicians and songwriters. I am not being paid for this nor am I receiving any benefit. I am writing this because I want to. Andrew and Jillian aren't even aware of this post as I write.
The site is called Sound Tempest, sub titled: "Reporting, analysis and opinions on the latest trends and developments in the music industry". The site may seem to be for the more developed musician at first glance, but any beginner can benefit from the articles because they all pertain to the latest trends and goings on in the music industry.
It is essential as independent musicians to keep up with the latest news in the industry as more and more "Indy's" are recording their own material and selling downloads on the Internet. I am no exception. I have come to depend on digital sales.
For the musician who is just starting out and testing the waters, be aware that the waters are full of sharks. His article "How To Detect (and avoid) Music Scams" is very insightful and a must read. If you can navigate the Internet, than chances are that you can effectively use software and hardware on your computer so that you can set up a home recording studio. His article, "Home vs. Pro Recording" gives you an overview of both types of recording. This is very essential if you plan to do any kind of recording to sell your music.
For the composer and songwriter read "How To Make Money From Music Licensing" and "How To Collaborate". Both articles are worth the read. Be sure to check out the link to Zircon Studios. We can all do ourselves a favor by reading Andrews articles. His research and conclusions are things that the novice musician never had access to a few years ago, and that gives us a chance to compete with the music moguls who have held a grip on the industry. The bottom line is, and has always been to give the music loving public good music to listen to.
I promise to get back to left handed guitar stuff in my next post.
