Fingers cold. Still a bit chilly to be playing outside, but they soon get warmed up with this classic from 1976. I improvised a couple hot solos at 3:25

Normally I get very little interaction with people. Most are walking past. Once a day someone stops to listen. With a wireless guitar, I can just walk over and say hi!

This guy offered me a frap at 6:18. I appreciate the gesture, but sorry, I don't accept any food or drink items that can be tampered with.

I should sell t shirts with this question on it. If I ever have a band again, I will name that band 'Are you playing in a band?' Either that or 'Why are you on the street?' I always enjoy talking to people who stop to watch, but I have had to explain this hundreds of times over the years.
Want to tip and make up for the apathy I see everyday on the street? Support this channel and my original music:

Power trio flashback! This was around 2016. My last band was a power trio and we did all instrumental jams. We were called 'The singers on tour' because I got tired of everyone asking 'Where's your singer, man?" We are jamming 'Cheap sunglasses' by ZZ top. The bar was the Comox bar and grill, that ran from the 70's up to around 2016, and was then closed for good to be replaced with a cocaine factory. That's Vancouver for you!

Yes, William Shatner did a blues album with Ritchie Blackmore. He "sings" on it. Why wasn't I the first one hired? I know Shatner has subbed my channel so I expected better. I've promoted him for years and this is what I get?
Here's a 24 minute blues/soul jam from July 30/21, and I play two different guitars, switching them out during the solo. I spent 2021 recovering from my brain aneurism and did not busk that year. I hit the street again in April 2022. This is dedicated to one of my fantastic patreon supporters, Scott. Hope you have a great new year!

Nothing like playing improvised funk with a drummer on charts. It's heaven! If JB was alive the fine would be at least $537.
Recorded at Heritage grill in 2013 .

I'm selling everything. 45 year collection of near mint vinyl. Don't have the room, can't handle the weight, and it's not getting played. Time to pass on the grooves to those that will play them! Before I sell, I wanted to go over each album and the memories! I have begun to sell locally this last weekend but I'm willing to ship.
This is N to R and is 30 minutes long, You can contact me at shatnershairpiece@yahoo.com if you are interested in buying anything. My prices are average discog prices. I have two more videos to go after this one and then I will be done with the history of my vinyl! Full list viewable here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/63170187
I'm an unemployed musician. If you can't send a buck, please like, sub, watch the ad, or leave a comment.

This was one of maybe 3 people (and always women) I met the entire year busking who had the balls to dance in public while I played and not give a damn what anyone thought about it. Very rare. Kids dance easily as well, but that's because they're not adults yet. For an adult to dance in public, that takes a major alteration of years and years of social programming. This girl was like the last of the hippies, here on a time travel vacation from 1967. The song is 'wonderful tonight' by Eric Clapton. Two other women that danced spontaneously were 60-70 years old. Never saw one male do this, unless he had mental issues.

1) Street playing is not all fun and games and dancing kids. Doing this for 7 years. I regularly face not only verbal abuse, but physical assault as I work a few blocks from downtown eastside Vancouver. I'm surrounded by addicts, drunks, and people who should be in mental homes.
2) I'm unemployed. All live music including busking, is banned. I lost all work last year and received ZERO compensation. I had a very bad year in 2020 and only recently came out of a depression.
3) I make ZERO from youtube no matter how many views I get. I was demonetized by Google years ago as part of their culling of small accounts. Class action lawsuit was initiated. I don't run ads. And more importantly, even if I did, most of my videos are instantly copyrighted and auto monetized by record labels because they are COVERS. If you see an ad, it's the record label collecting. If you liked the performance, please think about supporting me on patreon/paypal tip/bandcamp.
4) I'm a musician that writes his own music for 20 years. Check out my bandcamp page to see what I can really do with a guitar. 500 albums of original instrumentals.
5) It's a lot of unpaid work to post these videos all the time so please try to help me keep the channel going. Many thanks to those that have supported me! It means a lot!
6) I get asked this 100 times a day so here's the answer: I play on the street and not in a band because all the clubs closed years ago. I used to lead many bands from 2006 to 2018. That's all gone. It's also a lot more hassle, and less money, to run a band than play by myself.
7) I get asked this 100 times a day. "Why don't you try a better spot?" THIS is the best spot. How do I know? I've tried all of them. This spot is even better than Granville Island which is all tourists.
