Hey guys and gals. I was browsing through some of the Jazz Guitar groups – Jazz Guitar Society – I belong to on Facebook and came across this post by a fellow Jazz Guitarist by the name of Alex D’Önofrio.

I had never chatted with Alex before, nor were we Facebook friends -apart from being members of the same FB group – but I liked his message and asked for permission to reprint it here, which Alex graciously agreed to.

Now, keep in mind that this is Alex’s own opinion and what works for him specifically may or may not work for everyone else generally. However, his six points will no doubt resonate with you all, especially if you are a working musician or considering going down that road at some point.

So…without further adieu, here’s Alex!

Hey all,

I have been super lucky as to have found success …
