Being a successful working musician is more difficult today than it's ever been and it is more important than ever to stretch every dollar of your investments in gear if you're going to make such a career profitable. In this video we'll talk about the basic skill of instrument cable repair. You don't have to be an electronics guru to be able to use a soldering iron, and salvaging broken guitar, instrument, or speaker cables is something that can and will save you hundreds or thousands of dollars over your lifetime as a musician or sound engineer, and it could mean the difference between a great performance or an impossible one.
