Hey guys,
so i've gotten my first music making contract since leaving the retail/teaching industry a year ago. i always record silly little videos over jam tracks and stuff for fun. and this has landed me the task of making demo videos for a certain budget guitar brand i can't disclose.
i have the idea of doing several styles of course over the different guitar types, from jazz to metal and country. i have a fairly good metal and jazz curriculum so i can handle those, but i want to showcase to the beginner crowd that even a cheap instrument can get you playing and sounding good if you work on it. so on that, i'm planning to sort of emulate known guitar artists that beginners flock to.
it's a personal fun of mine to take cheap guitars and play the living hell out of them :)
so, for rock, i was thinking of springsteen, slash and then i'm a bit lost there.
basically, i'm asking for suggestions of artists to look into and maybe a defining hit or two to get my head rolling on a possible backing track and tone. anything goes really, i'm taking this opportunity to maybe sneak myself into the session world, or at the worst, improve my playing and versatility!
for country there's of course brad paisley to check out but i'm not going too much into obscure stuff.
as an idea, this is a little very quick jazz backing track i wrote and jammed over. those 12-68 strings killed my fingers!
