Passive income: NO

Earning passive income as a guitarist is challenging and rare. Most guitarists earn actively through performances, teaching, or session work. To make it passive, one might create and sell music or loops online, requiring initial effort in production and marketing. Automation can involve digital distribution platforms, but significant passive income is uncommon. Few reach this level; most rely on active income. Myths include the ease of earning through streaming, which often pays little. Realistically, passive income suits those with a strong online presence or unique content, not beginners or those without a niche.
