Zero tips in 3 hours plus nasty insults from an old man! (The perfect day!)
This is what I call a perfect busking day in Vancouver! I played my ass off for three hours at the arts show, didn't make a single tip from the public, and then got this old man actually walking up the steps to insult me. This clip is from today, July 5, only a couple hours ago. I could not wait to post it! Highlight of the day! It's usually the old people who are like this. They just are not happy with anything in life. I really hope I don't turn out like this guy. Must be a living hell. He's on private property telling me he'll contact the city when I am employed by the city.
Hey kids, want to be a star? Don't become a guitar player! Here's another hot improvised latin style blues jam with peaks and valleys and buildup and release and feeling and tone control. $5000 worth of equipment, 100,000 hours of practice. Means nothing to these zombie cretins. Less than nothing. I can stand there and just beg for money and do better. I consistently see bums and drug addicts making more than me by sitting on the ground. ART IS DEAD.

One good thing about the blues ,it's made for self expression. No matter how many times I play this, it's never the same take twice.

This is a jam I always try to play at least once per show. Always improvised. This was my first day back on the street since sept 2019. I played 4 hours, made $35. People don't seem to have missed live music. I ripped this hot solo for 13 minutes and not one tip. I should not complain though, a few people looked at me while walking by. That's better than nothing! Another bonus, no drug addicts stole my money. This is the spot where it often happens.
I make these videos now, not for the street tips, which are insulting, but for my youtube audience that actually appreciates what I'm doing. I have also stopped doing straight covers songs as they often get copyrighted on youtube. From now on it's only jamming, maybe around a recognizable song or riff. No more sultans of swing or walk of life. I'm tried of making record companies more money. Doing a cover is okay if it guarantees a great tip on the street but even covers don't get consistent reactions anymore.
I'm an unemployed musician. If you can't send a buck, please like, sub, watch the ad, or leave a comment.

Not rare to see skunks running around here at night but it is very rare to see two baby skunks actually playing with each other 3 feet from a busy sidewalk. This was 10pm, July 31. Don't forget to watch this super high quality phone video on your 70 inch 4k screen for best effect. One day, my wife will learn not to use portrait mode.

This is a studio jam from August 11/21. 90 minutes! Original track. I was stuck at home, recovering from a brain aneurism, and did not busk that year. I have a backlog of 300 home jams that I am now trying to publish. Download from bandcamp link below. My bandcamp page is called 'The six million dollar guitar' for a reason. Not only do I own one of the rarest guitars in existence, I continually jam way beyond human norms. My top speed is almost 4 hours continuous improvisation.
