Old Rockers' Handboo Summary

Old Rockers' Handboo: All the Mature Musician Needs by Chris Maillard

Today's middle-aged people just don't act middle-aged. With their extreme sports and their adventure holidays, they refuse to grow old. Or even grow up. And they love music too; going to see it, buying it - and of course playing it. Written by a long-time musician and music journalist, this informed yet witty book will be an essential read for those thousands of older musicians. Whether returning to music after kids and jobs or continuing a lifelong love affair, this is the book they're been waiting for. Hope I die before I get old? Not a chance.

About Chris Maillard

Chris Maillard is a long-time musician, a professional writer and journalist, and not as young as he was. He's edited and written for umpteen music publications and played in many bands, ranging from fairly competent to totally unlistenable.

Table of Contents

Stairlift to Heaven: Why older musicians rock (gently) and how they often get better as they age. Like soft cheese. Start Me Up: How to join, form, or reform the band. And why playing solo can be singularly satisfying. Weapon of Choice: What to strum, bang, blow, or yell into, and how to master your instrument. Or cheat convincingly. Between the Buttons: The greatest musical gear, modern and vintage; how to use it and where to buy it (no, not Lidl). Live & Mildly Dangerous: Playing gigs, whether you sound like Madonna, Miles Davis or Motorhead. Or all three at once. You Wear It Well: How to dress on stage. And how not to, including several excruciatingly embarrassing examples. Erase/Rewind: Recording your efforts, either at home or in a professional studio. Start that concept album here. If you must. Keep On Running: More practical tips and, er, wrinkles from experienced players. And why embrocation is the new heroin. Plus lots more inspiration and information, from rehearsals and roadies to social media and sound engineers - and why a fruitful jam doesn't have to involve the Women's Institute.
