Music Banter - View Single Post - I'm a solo artist, any ideas on getting out there?

I'm kinda in a similar situation. Guitar is my best, but bass comes easy from that and I can put some backing piano into things.
I think the person above me has it pretty straight, try organizing your songs through computer software like guitar pro. If you have Mac you could try Logic Pro or, for Windows, Cubase (Which is what I've spent the last few hours trying to figure out.)
Organize your stuff there, record some samples and what not, get 'em on mp3 and put your stuff out. Myspace, purevolume, other sites like that are nice.
I've just been going to local venues and I plan on getting my stuff to the people who arrange the shows there and just trying to work my way in. The more outlets you've got, the better.

Pretty much, just what I'm doing. Wish you the best of luck.
