I presume Mr Harris is one of those alternate type beings known for acts of super-heroism...?

Some useful tips in there... ;D

One of the most respected session guitar players in Australia is Pete Northcote. On his website he has a very good explanation of how and why its a good idea to act professionally if you want a musical career.

So how do you do it? Succeed in the music industry?

Simple observations of successful people, companies, organizations will show you what the basics of running a business are. Be on time. Dress appropriately. Learn all the songs on the tape. Note for note. And even if you cant play great yet, make sure you sound good. Have good gear. Be a nice, friendly person to be around. Have a positive enthusiastic attitude. Just be professional.

The whole blog is here. A worthwile read IMHO.
