Gonna get "Be on time, be in tune and don't be a dick" framed on the wall.

Thanks Rob another great 'Prattle'…..you’ve got to be in it……..Spratt to catch a Mackeral and all that, there’s a little life lesson right there 👍🏻

[@NickGranville]

What if one is a session musician and doesn’t want to be? Ha. Kidding, I love my job even when it’s hard work. I agree with all the points you made in this video, esp the one about cold calling people. I get people doing that all the time. Cheers

Great podcast Rob with lots of sound advice. Younger players need to do an 'apprenticeship' playing the pubs, clubs, weddings, open mics etc. to hone their craft before making a career of playing. On the subject of pay, we had this very discussion on the last gig. We are not earning much more now than we were 10 years ago, and there is far less work around. So in real terms, we are learning less! I am thankful I had a full time job as well as that has now given me a pension, which I could never have funded from music alone.

Love the thinline vibe ❤

Hi rob. Was just wondering what styles of music you were playing when you were up and coming? Was it mainly funk and soul or was it more diverse? Great channel by the way!

Hi, Rob. Thanks for sharing your years and years in the industry. It was great to hear and learning from you. Some of your words gave me some directions of what i have to do. Greetings from Brazil! I hope to see you soon!

Awesome podcast Rob. I really love the intro riff. It would be awesome if you could do a lesson about double stops as it's such a trademark of your playing 👌

[@barryshaw6354]

Hey Rob, great podcast, and super sound advice, take the gig, speculate to accumulate and play because you love it! Your intro jam was fantastic , a lesson on that alone would be gold dust. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.👍🎸
