(Classic Rock) Joe Bonamassa has admitted the long road to success left him "pissing vinegar" with frustration - and he's offered his own advice to those who want to avoid the pitfalls that caught him.

He believes young musicians to shun the glitz and glamour of the mainstream music industry and concentrate on building small businesses for themselves.

"I didn't care how many people I had to rub the wrong way. I've mellowed out now - I'm more Zen and more thankful." But he knows it's not the same for those who hope to follow in his footsteps. Read more here.
