What Happens As A Session Guitarist
Музыка
The words Session Guitarist has always been a magical sound to me. When I was younger I would always wonder what it's like to do a session and be a session guitarist. Let me share my experience.

Mike has been playing the guitar since he was 12 years old, and from that first moment his love affair with music and the instrument began. Fresh out of school at the age of 16 he attended the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford and completed a year-long Diploma course.
After finishing the ACM his life as a full time musician began, playing in numerous bands and touring up and down the country playing iconic venues such asThe Shepherds Bush Empire, The Astoria, The Underworld and London’s Jazz Café. He’s also been fortunate enough to support industry legends Paul Weller, Blondie and Katie Melua.
Mike’s session work has led to his working on a variety of projects - from performing with stars such as Ricky Wilson and Diana Vickers, to appearing in many TV shows and adverts. Mike loves being on stage performing, but is equally at home recording in a studio - where he has worked with Alex Von Soos (All Saints, Seal, Atomic Kitten), Mike Horner (The Prodigy, Shakira, Bloc Party), and Mike Chapman (Blondie, Suzi Quatro)

Thank you Luke. Yeah it hasn’t liked me for a while tbh. Any help sharing is always appreciated.
I absolutely love these little snippets of a day in the life as a session player. I hope they help to inspire young people to get involved in session work. Thanks for another great video Mike. Cheers!

Thank you Liam, lovely to hear you enjoyed it.
Lol - I'm old enough to remember when CDs were something you had to do because record stores weren't allocating space for LPs. Also old enough to remember when "sessions" weren't going over to someone's house to record on their home studio. We just called these "jams".
Mike, you need to do one of those KZread streaming concerts again. Those were so fun!

I used it on my gigs over the weekend. Still use it a lot. I think I didn’t take it as I saw the list of amps the studio had so thought I would just use theirs to save time and less lugging about! Haha
Good grief, Mike. I still remember swearing never to get one of those newfangled CD thingies cos they would be a flash in the pan like Phillips 2000 video discs. Guess I had the last laugh, lol. Awesome work as ever ;-)

@@MikeBradleyofficial YES you should defenitly do one of those. 😁
Great video. When they hire you for a session like that are you specifically hired to do singing as well? Or is it strictly guitar playing and the singing just happens when you’re there?
@MikeBradleyofficial

Depends really, it’s always good to be able to say yes so if you do get asked to sing I can pull it off.
Hey Mike, @1:46 how did you develop your speed?

Thank you for asking. I just play a lot, and always try to make sure my playing is clean, if it sounds sloppy slow, it will be sloppy as you speed it up
I was told session musicians read sheet music, is that true? Did you read sheet music?

Good question, and the answer is no. Check out my recent video with Tim Pierce and he say's the same.

Good question and no you don’t. It’s great going to a school as it makes you work on your skill as a player, but the main thing is meeting other people and playing with other people.
