Once you learn the guitar, is it easier to learn the bass, mandolin, and banjo?  That's one of the topics we cover in this interview with musician Ryan Tilby.  

Ryan keeps a studio in St. George, Utah and tours the country and the world playing music. 

He is a winner of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival band competition and has played Telluride, Merlefest, FanFest, RockyGrass, and many others across North America and Europe.  His music has been featured on Duck Dynasty, The Discover Channel, and Outdoor Photo Adventures.

He has played for Capitol Records and Stone Angel Music.  He studied jazz guitar at Utah State University.  He's released a solo album titled Sacred Guitar and toured with Ryan Shupe & the Rubber Band.

Ryan and host Ethan Millard talk about the music business.  Ryan shared some advice for young musicians.  He strongly feels that in addition to music skills, musicians should develop strong communication and personal skills.  You have to be ready to network and build relationships that help you find work.

Ryan's first love was the banjo.  That was his first instrument.  His parents wanted him to play an instrument so they fully supported his decision.  

He knew he had a career in music when he was in his late teens.  He spent two summers playing in a bar at Yellowstone. That's when he really could see his future success.

There are a lot of ways to "make it" in the music industry.  Lots of people think you have to be a well known pop star, but there are innumerable hard working and ultra talented musicians out there who make the world go around.  You'll never see them on MTV, but they're out there composing and performing all the music of our world. 

It's still been a lot of hard work.  Ryan is married and has three children.  He's proud to say he's paid every bill he's ever had... with music.

The Musician's Studio is hosted by Ethan Millard.  Each episode features a working musician discussing their craft and the music industry.

The instruments and styles are different, but the love of music and the life long commitment connects each of their stories.  The musicians also share advice for young musicians looking to find their place in the music world.
