I lost at the second video. I don't feel bad for the players not having an instrument anymore, I feel bad for the actual guitar, which is weird because it's an inanimate object.

[@n1w4]

As much as I adore the '-does pop better' and SSF stuff, these kinds of videos are amazing for your channel imo, you're a great personality and getting to know you better is really entertaining.

[@149CreepingDeath08]

That trumpet thing will always get me

[@Malkil75]

Really appreciate your performance tips that really apply to any venue where there’s a band and audience. I remember playing a coffeehouse gig with musicians and we performed a piece which I also was very familiar. I have never been comfortable with soloing but I had spent a good amount of time practicing this piece and had some confidence playing a tasteful little acoustic solo. When I began playing I looked to the drummer and he nodded and said “yeah”. When performing with a band you are part of a team and need to be able to communicate with each other. His approval was what I needed to relax, enjoy the moment, and feel it. The moment was amazing and the response was so nice. Performance etiquette is one of the least talked about facets about being a musician and really does separate the genuine players from the douches. Thanks man.

Mike! Big fan of your channel. The backstory to that clip at 4:49 was at a show in my local town. The frontman is named Nathaniel Kinsey and that guitar player had actually planned for that whole thing to happen. He left the stage and there was a car waiting for him outside and he bolted

Try not to laugh challenges are the only challenges that are not Bullshit.If you dont want to headbang sing or dance along to something or whatever you dont have to.But it can be hard to hold your laugh inside.

[@konaaukai5541]

I can agree to that. I still like the try not to sing challenges because I love singing, and they're genuinely difficult for me when they don't consist of pop music nonsense, rap, or hip-hop. You are right, though. They are kind of bullshit, and the same songs make it into nearly every video. Makes them easy after a while, and not worth the time.

Hey, man. Awesome video! That advice at the end was super inspiring and useful to me! THANK YOU! I've been playing thirteen years and I can't read music and don't practice a huge amount. I also have my own style and try to feel what I play but those words of wisdom are super good. I'll take them to heart. Being yourself when playing is one thing but it's better to have some solid understanding of your instrument and a healthy respect for your fellow musicians. Keep up the awesome work, dude and Happy New Year!

$15??????? Jim Dunlop makes straplocks that are like $3 (I'm guessing, 'cos they cost £1.50 in England). I've been using these for 20+ years and I never had a guitar spin fail (and I did a shit load of these when I was young).

Musical performance is a wonderful hobby and passion. Thing is, some folks don't listen to themselves and can't judge themselves. They think that just the act of performing is everything, that it's enough. It's NOT enough, you have to understand what sounds good, and whether or not YOU sound good. Having the 'guts' to get up and perform in front of others means nothing if you can't see yourself through their eyes or hear yourself through their ears, or are too afraid to. The two worst aspects of egotism...selfishness and fear.

Speaking of open jams and insane guitar players, years ago i was in a band and we had to host an open jam at the club we were playing on a Sat. afternoon. This dude comes up to our guitar player and asks if he can use his guitar. He's like, weird but OK. Be careful though. So this dude gets up on stage, starts pulling these Pete Townsend moves, playing like a spaztic maniac. What we didn't notice while he was playing was that he sliced the tips of his fingers off and left about half a pint of his blood caked in to our guitar player's guitar. Hilarious and enraging at the same time.
