Musical Theatre Gigs for Rock Guitarists Pt1: The Prerequisites

For the last 2+ years I've played 8 musicals. In this four-part series, I share what I learned about what it takes to get and play musical pit gigs as a guitarist. Here are the major requirements you should meet, if you're going to pursue musical gigs: Be able to read traditional music score (not tabs, not chord charts) Have enough theory to be able to analyze chords Be comfortable playing in multiple genres, particularly rock, jazz and folk Play melodies and leads (but not flashy solos) Have an electric rig with clean and overdriven sounds 00:38 Examples of Modern Musicals That Feature Guitar 1:39 My History as a Musical Theatre Guitarist 2:32 The Main Requirement 5:10 Music Theory Requirement 6:00 Stylistic Range 8:22 Leads / Solos 9:04 Gear / Equipment -- Ari Koinuma 🎸Rock Songwriter, Guitarist, Coach ❤️ Support me:   / arikoinuma   📱 Follow me: Facebook:   / arikoinumamusic   Instagram:   / ari_guitar_songwriter   Twitter:   / arikoinuma   Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeGAyrnP/z Blog: http://arikoinuma.com 🎵 Music released as Aristotle’s Hope: Bandcamp: https://aristotleshope.bandcamp.com/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7Iqqv...
