Ive followed Jared Scharff for the better part of a decade during his time as the house guitar player for Saturday Night Live. After 13 years on the show, he left to explore the next phase of his career as a writer/producer in the pop centered world of LA. 13 years on any gig will teach you a thing or two and Jared has lots to share about lessons learned for other musicians to take note.    Follow Jared on Instagram @scharffishere  Check Out Pearl Lion (Jared's original music) on Spotify  My Links: www.rhettshull.com   Rhett Shull Studio on YouTube   -----My Podcast Recording Rig---- Shure SM7B Mic (affiliate link)   Cloud Lifter In Line Gain Boost (affiliate link)   Rodecaster Pro (affiliate link) Universal Audio Apollo Solo (affiliate link)   ——-Subscribe to Backstage Journal on Spotify——-    and on iTunes     This week's original song submission:
