Concert backstage passes are passes that are made for music events and give access to concerts and festivals, for any type of music whether it’s rock, hip-hop, alternative, electronic music, pop, country, jazz, classical, etc …

Concert backstage passes can divided in four categories: All Access Pass: This is the most important pass, as it usually gives access to the show, to the backstage area as well as to the pre-show and post-show parties. Because of its importance, the all access pass is only released to a few people, which include the performers, their entourage, their management, their crew as well as to the staff working at the venues. All access passes are usually distributed by management. • Crew Pass: as its name implies, this is a pass specifically designed for the crew, which is composed of regular employees as well as the temporary help that might be hired to help setting up the stage, carrying the amps and instruments, checking tickets, etc … • VIP Pass: this pass gives access to the performance as well as to the parties. VIP passes are usually distributed to friends of the performers, contest winners and fan club members. While they are usually free, they sometime can be bought as part of some deluxe packages that include meet and greet with the artists. • Press Pass: this pass is given away to members of the press, which include journalists, music critics, freelance photographers and music bloggers.

First off, you have your intro. An intro is just as it sounds, the introduction. Your song can be introduced by any instrument or vocalization. In fact, some songs don’t even have true intros so you can skip this part or make it a short rhythm or chord sequence. You basically are just looking for a start to your song, an opening…going from nothing to something. Next you have your verse. When learning how to write a song, you have to realize that this is the core of what your song is about. These are the lyrics, accompanied by music that help the listener relate to what you are feeling or thinking.

If you are a beginner song writer then remember not to try too hard to make a song perfect. You can write and rewrite but you might just drive yourself crazy because personal standards are sometimes impossible to reach. As a beginner focus on exploring music and ideas. You are learning and learning how to write a song require practice just like anything else you do. If you are having a tough time then as a tip, you might want to take some sort of music theory class to help you gain a better understanding of music.

Let’s get rid of one myth right here! One common myth floating around is that
jazz music is complicated. Some people have the idea that it can only be learned by unraveling the deep mysteries of the inner being like it’s some sort of mystical experience that requires years of learning theories, scales and chords. That thought alone is overwhelming and as a result, we need to refocus our attention to one thing keeping it simple.

Before you get out there and start buying your jazz guitar amps and other gear, consider if you’ll have the time to do the basic things you need to do to learn all about playing jazz guitar. Set your learning and practice habit up for success by keeping it simple and you will reap the results of your investment!
