this is the focus topic of September. let's collect all our activities and learnings under this post. at the end of the month, I'll summarize it all and conclude the status quo below. this way each month we add to our topic/shared knowledge library 📚 also we'll do a dedicated focus topic call at the end of each month going through all the learnings 🦦

@Olivier Turner and I just talked a lot about how hard it is to release the very first song. this is the biggest step as a musician! so we came up with the “release challenge” concept. through sharing his struggles with me, Oliver made me realize that I would love this community to also be like a big confidence booster for artists who are about to release their first song. its pretty straight forward, every guitarwaver who hasn't released a song yet but wants to do so gets my full support (and probably from everyone else in here who already have released but know how scary that first step is). I think for this the weekly calls are perfect. we can chat through believes that might hold you back, techniques to overcome those, and the practical steps that you need to talk to release your first song. here are two resources already that may help you. 1. the book "share your work" by Austin Kleon -- this has helped me a lot in overcoming my fear of sharing my process and creative work https://share.google/ZLagRFOPsFdsZpAaE 2. in the attached video, I listed all the steps that helped me to get from exactly that place Oliver described to where I am now. plus, if you have any questions, you can always send me a dm here or (better) post it below so others can learn as well. I believe in every one of you! you can do this! sending you relaxed energy 🦦

let's get to know each other. comment below, sharing a photo of your (current fav) guitar, how you got into making instrumental guitar music, and maybe what you do besides making music. I'm happy to have you here 🫶🏼 PS: oh also please feel free to link your music! PPS: there's also an app of Skool btw. which makes keeping up with what's happening in here a little easier.
