There is no doubt that music is a basic and essential part of our humanity… but have you ever considered exactly how that statement works.
I have just been listening to a virtuoso guitarist called John Renbourn
this piece is seriously difficult to play….. WELL…..
I have tried…
There is an underlying base and an over tune, PLAYED BY ONE PERSON… all deliberate …. but at the same time played with FEELING
It is amazing that an artiste can achieve such a diverse and beautiful sound with just one instrument.
What does that tell you
In terms of Internet Marketing..
The same tune can be copied by many … it is the way it is played that counts…. very few actually compose the tune … many try and replicate…
So long as you understand and feel the music then…. you can play… with practice… first with other’s compositions… then develop your own.
Music is a progressive thing.. now and then a genius moves thing on on leaps and bounds
Very few things in life are truly original
We as Internet Marketers can learn that things are a progression and we can play the tune in our own way
To paraphrase the words of Bob Dylan (Hard rain)
Know your song well before you start singing.
Then you have something to say… the world is becoming smaller because of the www and social media and thus more personal.
It doesn’t matter if your song is not understood initially
Understanding and having control of the instrument and knowing your song….. will sooner or later attract others who know or feel the same.
Music is like our business
There is an overture but within it there are a multitude of sub theams that our listeners can hear… at times we listen to the whole at others we hear just one sub-beat. There is a base line and flourishes all carefully played and blended to achieve the desired result.
But the overriding tune and how it is played… is the thing that attracts or otherwise. Once the artiste has our ears then we will listen to the rest of the tune.
Before you listen to the piece below I think you should know the name of it … hec
Don’t listen to this if you are stressed or on a blogging mission
You MUST not listen to this if you are surrounded by the usual things in life
Listen to it on your own….
get a cup of whatever you drink relax
…then… imagine….
The Hermit
Hi Vince,
Being a musician myself, I appreciate this post very much. I have been playing acoustic guitar for a long time now and have played bass guitar for over 20 years. (shows my age I guess)
But relating internet marketing to the forms of music is something I never concidered before and it makes sense. Hey I like the recording too. He plays well.
I also want to turn you on to a fabulous guitar plaer also. He came to our small town doing a Taylor guitar workshop and I totally blown away. I never saw anybody play acoustic guitar like that. It sounds like at leat 3 guitars going at once. Check out this video and be sure to look at White rose for Heidi. There’s a real special story he tells about it every time. Taylor made him a signiture guitar with a white rose on the headstock.
Here’s the link for it.

Hi Vince,
I am listening to the music as I write this.
There is a scene in White Men Can’t Jump that goes something like, “You only listen to Jimi (Hendrix), you don’t hear the music”.
This can be true for a lot of people, they listen but don’t hear.
IM is the same, they are looking but not seeing.

Thanks for dropping by, you are right, there is another line from hard rain I like which says ” 10000 speaking and nobody listening”. Great to meet you on the 100 challenge.
Vince
Hi Vince,
What a beautiful piece of music. so relaxing, yet so refreshing. My father is a guitarist and he would love a piece like this. I have many memories of him strumming as a child.
I have a few albums of guitar music by an artist called “Armik” his style is Spanish flamenco.
Re the analogy to internet marketing. I completely agree: “Know your song well before you start singing.”
For the last 18 months I have been learning this industry. I have been asked many times to teach yet I am not ready. I do not know the song so to speak I am still learning the versus!
I am a big believer of walking the talk and it is important to know what you are talking about and what you teach.
I hope everything is going fine for the challenge. This has been one very BIG task. I am just about finished my own blogging rounds plus I am doing a tally of people’s comments as I go.
Thank you for the enjoyable music, it has just relaxed me beautifully.
See you back here soon,
Cheers

Hi Abizer
thanks for visiting I am glad you liked the Hermit,
Hi Vince, a fine gem from John Renbourn! His style is so carefree and light. I’ve always thought the best of John and Renaissance and Pentangle, as well as David Bromberg and Stefan Grossman to.
Your analogy of the song and the marketer is very cool and it fits like a glove. When someone asks me what I do, for now I’m going to say, “I play the internet, and writes songs.”
Thanks for the sound check Vince, be well, Steve D.
Hi Steve
AHH another Renborn fan, I do think he deserves more recognition. The other artistes you mention are great too. I have seen him play a few times, and met him once.
I had not thought of “I play the internet” thats an excellent way to look at it
Thanks for your comment
Vince
Hi Vince
Ah. What a nice perspective! Bring out the music in you to play your piece on the internet. Understanding and having control of the instrument is the challenge. Nicely brought out.
Have fun with the challenge.

Hi Vince
What a great analogy. I love music but have never had the patience to learn to play an instrument, something which I now regret.
Learning the ins and outs of internet marketing also requires time and patience, something which many overlook and that’s why they jump from one thing to another without ever giving anything a fair chance. But that’s partly the fault of the guru’s who imply that by using their latest, greatest product you’ll be making a six figure income by the end of next week.

Hi Lynn
Yes you are so right. I agree there are too many get rich quick schemes out there, to master anything properly takes time and paticence. Experience has to be learned, finding the right mentors and partners can shorten the learning curve but ultimatly success is down to the indvidual
Thanks for visting
Vince
Hi Vince,
A brilliantly played piece and thank you for allowing the work of John Renbourn to inspire your post. For you to have even tried to play this piece, you must be a very talented player Vince.
Your analogy with internet marketing is very interesting, as with anything we try to achieve in our life we have to bring through our own personality and talent to do the best we can.
Great to meet you on this challenge Vince and I shall be returning soon.

Hi Vince,
What a melodious blog post! The comparison between music and internet marketing is great. I’ve never though of that. And as Petteri said, many people are afraid to start their own business because they think that they need to come up with something that is completely unique, something that no one has ever done before. Yes this is true when you want to create the next Facebook, YouTube and make millions online. This can happen but for the most people it is easier to create their own information products, build their lists, or affiliate marketing and make their million in a few years rather than creating THE website and THE project and become millionaires from that specific project in just a few months.
Take care,
Andreas

Perhaps it’s a little like the fable of the Hare and tortoise, consistant effort gets you there in the end. Regardless of how talented a muscian John Renborn is … it was hour after hour of practice that enables him to play so well. Making small alteration to existing products can eventually result in something completly differnt
Vince
Beautiful piece of music and I like the analogy you make. But fortunately for me, you can run an internet marketing online business even if you are tone deaf (my school choir teacher asked me to stand at the back and play the symbols!)
I’ve posted a link to this page on identi.ca for you (makes a change from Twitter!)
Hi Martyn
Thank you for the post up, and visiting. I am also tone deaf. You know you can even write music if you are completly deaf… look at Beethoven, amazing really when you think about it… to be deaf and still be a master musician
Hi Vince
Have the tune playing in the background-very nice.
I play (not as well as that mind) so the analogy was not lost on me either.
Good luck with the challenge

Hi Daniel,
Thank for your comment.
There is no point in trying to be different for the sake of it, I think most things are a progression from something else, things tend to be invented to fullfil a need. The thing is it can be like surfing the net, you can start out on one subject and before long find yourself in a completly different place.

Hi Vince,
Nice analogy for relating your music to business. It’s true you can copy music as you can copy a business, but you need to make it your own. It’s like any product you create. You can almost guarantee there is one out there already; yours just has to be better!
Thanks Vince.

Great someone into music too. Music is a very important part in my life. You can compare music to so many things that happen with in our lives.
Be it good or bad. Originality is the key. But if you are too unique many people may not get the picture????
There are so many UK Artists that are producing just cover version’s of earlier music. They are putting there own touches too it. So it is just not copied but for their targeted audience.

Hey Vince,
Thanks for sharing the Hermit with us. I like it very much.
In this world, many of us try to create our own product or own voice, but like what you said,”Very few things in life are truly original” as we are not alone in this world, and and many of our thoughts keep colliding and affecting each other so we can have new creation, example like the 100 comment challenge make us meet and communicate. This is fantastic.
In our life, rhythm are necessary, writing are necessary, and communication makes our music more complete.
Cheers.

Hi, Vince,
Beautiful music. Music is the language of the heart crossing all boundaries and nationalities. It set us all in the same field of emotions. What we do with that is our gift to the world. Your song and my song, all gifts of the heart. What a beautiful and heartfelt way to touch people.

Hey Vince
Great post, I remember going to a classical pianno recitalist many years ago with my mother. I was grumbling under my breath as I was not into classical pianno. Well surprise I could not believe one man could create a sound like he did with just one key board. He made that pianno sing like a whole symphoney orchestra it was one the most amazing live performances I had ever seen. As I said I didnt even like classical music. Hope I havent got off the point but this rings true with what you said that every individual can put their own personal stamp on a piece of music or marketing material and make it their own. I look forward to listening to your piece of music. Many Thanks

Hi Vince, i’ve never looked at that way before but now that you’ve said it I can see what you mean.
I can remember John Lennon saying that if it’s been done before why do it again, look for something new.

Hi Barry
I have just been over to your blog, thank you for the helpful advice. It’s interesting what you say about John Lennon. I like the Beatles and their music is a case in point I think. They started off sounding fairly similar to others but developed their own style as they progressed.
Great analogy, Vince. Music is a great relaxer, and a great source of energy too. Blogging both to relaxes me and at other times can give me great energy and enthusiasm, especially if I read a really good post or if I feel I have writtena really good post!
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Terry
Yes it is an amazing world every one of us is unique, there are tried and tested formats its up to us to adapt them
Hi Vince,
Like Jaycee, me too find it difficult to simply re-package the exterior of a product and called it my own. Guess that is the reason why I am way slower than most on my online quest.
I think you put it at best when you said
We as Internet Marketers can learn that things are a progression and we can play the tune in our own way
That’s what happened to me.
It is very tempting to simply jump on the “fastest wagon” and earn money the “easier” way. Yet with the advancement of technology, I really feel we should Create More Unique Value from it rather than the usual copy and paste method. I know it is really a matter of choice for anyone to do whatever they want. But that’s just not really me.
We learned things, adapt it with innovation to make it better. I feel this is a better way for me, though it take a few more steps to reach the goals in my life.
Thanks for sharing this unique piece with me. I am talking about both the music you recommend, and also the music I played in my heart when I read your post, if you know what I mean.
It is really a breath of fresh air.

Vince
Hi Vince,
What a great piece of music,
I love the guitar, it’s so restful isn’t it? Where did you find that music and Is it something you normally listen to?
I find it intriguing how a piece of music can take you back years, just a few bars on the radio and you’re transported back to the past reminiscing about people, places, good times and bad. It can put a broad smile on your face or bring a tear to your eye but there’s no mistaking the feelings it evokes.
As you say, it doesn’t matter how many times a great piece is copied, because each time someone adds their own interpretation which makes it slightly different and personal to them, and the combinations are infinite.
I’ve copied bits of content from other sites, changed it around a bit and made it ‘my own’. So long as you have SOMETHING to work with initially the possibilities are endless!
Great post Vince,
Suzie
Hi Jaycee
It is so interesting how our different minds work from the same thing… To me the tune reminds me of a 14th century Lady of the manor dressed in one of those pointy hats and long sleeved gowns sitting side saddle on a horse. She and her entourage are on their way to the Old English Medieval Church on a crisp Semptember Sunday morning.
Yes you are right music is such a powerful medium…. we both are on the same par regarding the leafy sunlit road
Hi Vince
I googled the “Lady Goes To Church” piece, thanks for referring it to me.
This ‘lady’ sounds pretty harried to me, listening to the guitar music!
I imagined her hurrying along the road, in a crisp blue coat – dressed sixties style. She was tapping a small child on the shoulder encouraging her to keep up, her daughter I presumed, doing her best so that they wouldn’t be late for church, though they were running a bit behind.
Strangely, though John is English, I pictured this lady walking briskly along a leafy, sunlit American boulevard; mother and daughter intent on their journey to a respectable white-painted American Baptist church.
Strange how music can conjure up such images, isn’t it?
thanks again
Jaycee
Jaycee´s last blog ..Internet Millionaire Mishaps – I’m so over it!
Hi Vince
Both ‘The Hermit’ music and your post were beautiful. Your analogy is really breathtaking and inspiring – I loved it!
As someone who loves music and originality, I could really resonate with what you said. In one of my posts I commented, not to offend anyone, but just to be real, that too many of us are copy-catting online. It’s just too boring and uninspiring to market like that, in my opinion.
I have heard, read and seen a lot about PLR products and how with just a new front cover and graphics we can call it our own – NOT!
Even if it is a good product, it will never represent me – not properly.
Even when musicians and songwriters do cover versions – they will always be compared to the original.
Well, as we know, some artists even surpass the quality of the original, and why is that?
Well, it’s because they added their own unique flavour to the mix – because they expressed themselves,a and because the hearers responded to the essence of that person’s spirit as relayed through the music / compostition.
You’ve done that here, Vince, gloriously well.
I’ll keep coming back now that I know where to find you. Don’t stop giving the blogosphere such excellent, original, meaningful and relevant content.
Thanks
Jaycee
Jaycee´s last blog ..Internet Millionaire Mishaps – I’m so over it!
Hi Jaycee
Thank you for your kind words I am very flattered as they have come from such an accomplished blogger as you.
You are so right too much music is just rehashed second rate trash simply broardcast with the sole purpose of making money, the entertaiment factor of the music in the first place has been forgotten. You may like another one of John Renborn’s peices called “lady Goes To Church” It is interesting how the music so suits the title
Nice analogy, I like it.
Many people are afraid to start their own business because they think that they need to come up with something that is completely unique, something that no one has ever done before.
Most of the things have been done already, but you can always add your own flavor to whatever you want to do. The easiest way to get started is to take a lot of influences from the most successful people.
Cheers.
