LEARN THE MUSIC is a recipe for success straight from the mouths of the experts, namely, those who found success for themselves within the cutthroat music industry. Featuring interviews with patron saint of intelligent rap Talib Kweli, garage punk sensation The Donnas, and country music princess Jessica Andrews, the stars give the scoop on their practicing habits, as well as how they started their bands and got to where they are today. The Used struggled to fulfill their ambition, with tales of how they were pitted against bouts of homelessness and drug abuse making their story particularly poignant; Texas power pop quartet Bowling for Soup round out the bill. Audiences can also learn how to play songs from these artists, receiving instruction on bass, drum, vocals, and guitar on songs such as "Sucker Punch" by Bowling for Soup, "There's More to Me than You" by Jessica Andrews, "Maybe Memories" by the Used, and "On the Rocks" by the Donnas. Also included is an interview addressing how to become a successful DJ. [More]
