The Musician's Survival Guide
Want to be more successful in the music business?
I'm an artist, guitarist, songwriter, producer, etc. When you are a "DIY" musician, you wear MANY hats. Music has been a passion of mine since I was a kid and I jumped into the business as a profession right out of high school. While my friends were in college, I spent that time traveling the country as a musician. I was working for a band with a couple #1 hits & several Top 40 songs and learned a ton about being a working musician. But, this was just the beginning.
I've been a working musician ever since and have watched the music industry get very complicated in a short time. So, I decided to document as much as I could about my journey in the music industry to give you some guidance so you can chase after your dream. I created The MUSICIAN'S SURVIVAL GUIDE to do just that... help you be more equipped to chase after your dream.

The Musician’s Survival Guide consists of ten individual guides written & developed by yours truly, CJ Lambert. These guides collectively make up the Musician’s Survival Guide. I explain many essential topics & techniques in such an easy to understand way as an effort to help guide any musician to success. Every musician’s measurement of “success” is different. So, each guide is developed in a way to cater to the professional while including the details for a beginner.
After spending several years touring, writing, and recording with some heavy hitters in the business, I had a sudden urge to document what I have learned over the years. My main objective was to provide the passionate musician with the tools and knowledge in order for you to consistently be at the top of your game. As a result, The Musician’s Survival Guide came to life!
The guides included are:
- How To Write a Song
- How To Record a Song
- Microphone Placement Techniques
