I guess the most guitarists here have a job besides the music.
Are there guitarists here who can make a living out of it and only concentrate on music,
real pro's.

No matter good you are, no matter how well practiced you are, it seems like theres never a time where someones throwing lucrative offers in your face. For the most part it takes a lot of sacrifices to even to get to a semi-comfortable level of success, and being at the right place at the right time. Its important to just keep a healthy train of thoughts and remind yourself why you're a muscian to begin with. Which comes to the question that I think a lot of us should ask ourselves every now and then, and that is :Could you record an album and not release it or let anyone else hear it and still be satisfied with it?
