The NFT guy was my favourite. Ignoring the NTF thing, I never realized that all you had to do was to get TEN THOUSAND people to pay 100 dollars. If only I'd thought of that.

[@coryman125]

Bit of free advice: there are 10 billion people in the world. Nobody would care about losing a single penny. So just ask everybody in the world for a penny and you've instantly made 100 million dollars :) it's that easy, why isn't everybody a millionaire?

[@martifingers]

The explanation of NFT's was not really correct - they don't give you any rights over the digital file - only the "right" to be associated with it. "as described recently by one of the original NFT creators Anil Dash in an article for The Atlantic, "[t]his means that when someone buys an NFT, they're not buying the actual digital artwork; they're buying a link to it." ("NFTs Weren't Supposed to End Like This," April 2, 2021)" This is from a Reuters article called "What are the copyright implications of NFTs?"

[@cohnjena2573]

well, if kanye could sell his album on stem players for 200 dollars each, and make something like 6 million dollars, it is entirely possible. if someone with a big enough fan base made 10000 NFT's and sold them for 100 dollars each, you are bound to have 10000 fans that wont mind spending a quick 100 bucks. and that is an easy milli for them

the NFT one is hilarious. NFT's are a scam, and on top of that, theyre dying. People have finally recognized they were a scam, even though it was obvious throughout their conception

What part of NFT is a scam? The part where you have digital signature of ownership that's by definition 'non-fungible', or the part where you make a big deal about it and market is as some non-tangible non-fungible, but somehow fungible product people will buy for loads of fungibles and even tangibles to have them as fungible non-fungible digital object that you can fung for even a bit of tang?

I'm sure a bunch of people are commenting this, but: That background vocals trick will HEAVILY depend on the mic used. Sounds like you have a REAL awesome mic, that is able to pick you up quite easily at a distance. I mean, I don't know, I've never tried this myself, but my gut feeling is that it would actually work better with a weaker mic.

[@samuraiguitarist]

It's actually a bit deeper than this and the original video the guy does a great job explaining it. But you get a different tonal quality depending on how close you are to a microphone through something called the proximity effect. If you record yourself a bunch of different distances it kind of sounds closer to multiple different voices

[@kronabus199a]

@@samuraiguitarist there’s a video floating around of Michael Jackson using this exact technique

[@reaganharder1480]

@@samuraiguitarist You also get more relative room sound when you're further away, since the level of the room reverb going into the mic will be mostly the same no matter where you stand, but the level of your voice will get lower as you get further away. Also if I understand correctly proximity effect is considerably less (if at all noticeable) with omni-directional mics versus cardioid. But the majority of mics are cardioid so most mics will have proximity effect.

[@tobins6800]

Queen did something along the lines of this for Bohemian Rhapsody.

Technically, you’ll just get lower dB vocals as you gradually step away from the mic. There might be other benefits to be gained from this, but I’m oblivious to those. Please enlighten me.

"Stop looking for shortcuts" is the best advice I can give to anyone doing anything. To be blunt, shit takes time. Be patient. Everyone sounds bad at first, there's too much expectation put on people who play instruments to be amazing even within the first two years of playing. You don't need to worry about being good or developing your own style, specifically for guitarists out there here's from one noobie to another: CHORDS, CHORDS, CHORDS. And then, SCALES, SCALES, SCALES. And then, PLAY, PLAY, PLAY. Learn your favorite songs, try making a song of your own and then never show it to anyone because it's likely to be terrible, and keep making songs, and keep making songs, and keep ma- you get it. As with everything in life, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Don't stress, you may feel like you're taking too long but it's just the fact of our nature, we take years to be great at something. I'm the best damn janitor you'll ever have because that's my favorite kind of job. My music sounds terrible, but I'm still learning. Save everything you make even if it sounds bad, it's nice to have a look at your early days, trust me. Curb your ego, make stuff. You won't get anywhere if you don't keep making crap and learning from it. Hell, some of the best things I made were from intentionally making garbage, and it turned out to be my favorite song I've made. You want a real cheat? A real shortcut? Make music you like, don't try to be popular. I love listening to small artists who just make what they like, they do really awesome and interesting stuff I never hear in popular music.

[@duffman18]

Tik tok had the best algorithms of any of these sites. What it ends up showing you is completely unique to you and your tastes, and so if you can only see crap on your feed, that's because you have a taste for eating shit, a poo palate. It's entirely your fault if the videos you see on Tik tok are all awful. It really doesn't take long at all for Tik tok to learn what you're into and show you appropriate accounts and videos for that. It's a bit like all those guys who complain to their Facebook friends that ads on Facebook snd elsewhere keep showing them ads for gay porn and gay dating sites, only for people to respond to them and point out that ads are customised to what the person chooses to seek out, why sites that person chooses to visit, so if they're seeing gay porn ads, that means they've been searching for gay porn. They're telling on themselves when they then complain about it. But yeah Tik Tok should probably be made illegal. Cos the reason it's so good at determining what you like is because it dives way deeper into creating a profile for you than eveye other app does, to the point where it's arguably a complete violation of privacy, and is dangerous because it's controlled by a state government of a country that's basically the biggest enemy of the west, China. Even though there's an uneasy but solid peace right now because of the huge amount of trade the two countries have with each other, if a world war III were to happen, it'd almost certainly be dominated by the 2 biggest players on either side, the US as the biggest force one on side vs China as the biggest force on the other side. So yeah banning Tik Tok, and banning companies from having their computer chips made in China and forcing them to make the chips in the US instead at greater cost, are direct attacks on china, peacetime diplomatic attacks, but attacks all the same. They won't be happy about it. But every huge war starts with something seemingly relatively minor that escalates as the war goes on into something gigantic, so that soon the war is being fought for completely unrelated reasons to the reason the war kicked off in the first place.

[@MashaT22]

Even the biggest artists can't seem to sell NFTs. Just ask Steve Vai who was made to auction NFT's and didn't unload a single one after several attempts.

Bowie did studio trickery on “Heroes” where as he sang louder and louder, the gates on 3 microphones set several feet apart would switch off, or turn on, so by the end that last chorus where he’s sing-yelling, it’s because the only microphone that’s active is all the way across the studio.

Hi Sammy - The "rubber band can" needs elastics that don't have nylon/cotton around them, as your hair bands are essentially absorbing/nullifying the vibrations/air waves. To achieve the effect in the video, you can adjust the bands around the can by pulling on the sides of each band, wherein the rubber will grip the side of the can and somewhat hold its tone for a short period. Thanks and hope you have a great day.

[@mariesyvian8187]

Even then, the original video is lying to people. One band can make 2 different notes, they're all the same length so they should be the same pitch, and they'd sound nowhere near that good

Yeah the 1 band 2 notes is definitely not possible without editing, but 2 strings the same length cam have different notes if they have different tensions, just like tuning a guitar

[@DaedalusYoung]

@@mariesyvian8187 Yeah, I used to do this sort of thing when I was young. This was before the internet existed (and by extension, before TikTok), so whenever I was bored, I had to find ways of entertaining myself. Trying to make an instrument out of rubber bands was not an uncommon activity in those days. And while you can actively change the tension to get different pitches from one band, there's no way to accurately hit exact notes spot on.

[@seedmole]

The idea that NFTs allow anything new for artists is literally insane. For one thing, the way this guy is describing it, it's just a sale of a security in a music business, which is something that can be done anyway without any need for a new fad like NFTs. And if you somehow have fans who would pay that kind of money, then just buckle up and make some damn music for them and sell them that instead. Like how the hell is "just get a million dollars in sales before releasing a single piece of music" advice.

[@reaganharder1480]

If you've got 10,000 people willing to spend $100 on your NFT, go make a Patreon account. Then you get regular income and probably can capitalize on a larger percentage of your audience.

[@CameronSalazar2113]

[@tapirlover1005]

Actually the better harmonica hack imo is just sticking one end of it into your mouth instead of the whole thing, that way you can sorta move it in and out of your mouth so you have different tones. Without practice it's relatively imprecise, but slightly more useful than only having the one note blowing on the entire thing gives you.

[@SplotchTheCatThing]

You know I've done something similar to 11:15 when I've recorded myself as a choir. Varying the angle to the mic as well as the distance and subtly changing my intonation and enunciation between takes creates a surprisingly realistic effect of a bunch of people singing the same things.

I've decided you have an awesome singing voice. I already knew this because of your video where you made those three songs (Human Garbage, Double Dinner and uh, the other one that's slipping my memory at the moment) but hearing your "Background Vocals" take? You need to cut out the "Oh, I suck at singing, boo hoo" crap and just make more tunes with you as the vocalist. Not only can you carry a tune, and not only do you have a good voice in general, but you're surprisingly versatile. A lot of people would _kill_ to have the grit that you seem to so easily be able to put into your voice. Don't short-change the quality of your vocal skill, man, I implore you.

I gotta think that the rubber band on the can thing may be worth more experimentation. This probably depends on the can and how easy it is to crush, then on the back side where the rubber bands go around the can, there may need to be something pinching the sides of the rubber bands at different distances causing variation in tension.

People who talk about making money off NFTs all say very similar things to MLMs. It's always like "make these images that do not have any real intrinsic value or usefulness... Then find dozens of people to pay premium prices for that worthless item when we're in the middle of an economic crisis!!" Not defending them, but at least most MLMs involve selling an item that you can actually use for something (e.g. makeup, tupperware containers, essential oils/candles, etc.). It's feasible that someone might think "well, everyone needs at least a few tupperware containers! Tons of people wear makeup! Why wouldn't you want your house to smell nice?" and believe that they could find an audience for these products (because these audiences DO exist, just not on a large enough scale to earn you a living). On the other hand, NFTs involve spending money on literally nothing. Your money would do more for you if you just burned it for warmth, and that's something that the vast majority of the world realise.

I have a question that has been killing me. With solid state amps becoming to popular -- does it even matter which guitar you have if you are only playing thru a solid state? With my Spark, I feel like all I need to do is tweak the amp settings and I can get any tone I want. Am I missing something? So maybe my question is -- if you have enough versatility with your amp set (maybe a ton pedals) does the guitar even matter?

for that guys NFT plan to work and not just be basically a scam you would have to sell 1.25 million dollars worth of records before people even began profiting from royalties...

The magical thinking enn eff tee people use is so absurd. Oh yeah I'll just have ten thousand people buy a receipt for this picture of a duck wearing shoes that I am calling the cover art for my SoundCloud playlist and instantly fund my project. 🙄

Question: Why has nobody yet come up with a mount that attaches a harmonica to a pair of sunglasses? It could even be flexible, to move the harmonica up away from your face when you're not playing it.

[@stella5808]

Amazing, I love your videos!

[@jtnoble321]

Completely lost it at the harmonica lmao

[@lecheparavaka]

That hair is the best in the world

[@crew3025]

[@runningonemptyofficial]

[@nostalgicgaming9336]

HELL YEAHHHH !!!! SAMURAI UPLOADED A VIDEO

[@fozzle6503]

[@RegebroRepairs]

12:30 You did it, you madman. And no, it's his guy that is abnormally big.

[@Bl8der81]

The harmonica part absolutely killed me 🤣🤣🤣

[@batman81022]

9:30 holy shit I'm glad you're okay now that's absolutely brutal and a little bit hilarious too

[@thesausage351]

I have a little bit of money in crypto but I would never buy NFT’s, especially at $100 and especially not for a band or artist I’d never heard of. Maybe I would if there was a bunch of previously unreleased Motörhead songs and the only way I would be able to hear them is for me to buy the NFT, well yeah, ok, I’d probably do that.

[@ideitbawxproductions1880]

9:16 that was a crazy hack... it also sums up what I think of 99.9999999999% of the garbage I see on tiktok. It's a shame you ended up getting covid, man. I got it twice, and it was terrible both times (definitely worse the second time). Also, 11:00 if you want to hear a similar concept in action, listen to Feet Don't Fail Me by Queens Of The Stone Age, more specifically the bridge before the final verse (the "it's calling me" part). Josh Homme recorded several takes from different distances from the mic, and you can hear how the natural reverb of the room changes with each take. It's a really nice effect, and you don't need any expensive gear to pull it off

The harmonica in the mouth is very funny to watch though. If I saw a busker doing that I'd definitely stop and give some change

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

I use the mouth trick to hear what Wah sounds like on different songs. I found out how to do it when I was 6 though.

NFT's were the Beanie Babies of the 2010's. Bunch of people paying ridiculous sums of money for something intrinsically worthless while going full Stockholm Syndrome convincing themselves and each other they were going to be billionaires. The fun part was watching people buy NFTs of famous artwork and then being genuinely shocked that paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for a string of numbers that links to a jpeg didn't mean you also own the copyright to that artwork.
