true for bedroom players, but u can actually make moeny with guitar playing and even live from that, become session or studio guitarist or give lessons or become endorser for equipment or make good music which sells or play many gigs with a good band.just to name some possibilities. besides this, if ur very good u can do a solo career or u can make a living from playing acoustic concerts and writing instrumental songs. so its not f... impossible.
@guitar789 True. i actually compose music for TV (that's a BMI check), as well as do solo gigs at wineries. When I said 'Impossible' I should have said 'really difficult'. The video is just some goofy idea i had the seemed to blow up overnight, ha
Didn't I just fix ur guitar? Kinda trippin cuz I was just looking for something entertaining while eating lunch .... saw the title and had to click on it ... then I was like wait a minute - I just worked on that guy's guitar ... what a small world the internet can be ...
@jjkenny1967 HA. yess you did, this very guitar. this video went viral over the weekend, it has almost 600,000 views on another channel. i did it a year ago as a joke
The music business has become a do it yourself business - i see youre holding a BMI statement, so, you do know what youre talking about - humor aside - Nowadays if you buy a guitar you better buy a computer and software to start 'cataloging' all your ideas from the start whether you end up selling tunes for licensing or just becoming a better writer/player its all part of the territory
No, you are wrong. Look me up on I-Tunes and then click on the books link. I wrote a short e-book on how I made money playing the college market. I'm not saying it's easy and you'll find yourself hating motel rooms. But the gigs pay well, the audiences are respectful, and you CAN arrange your schedule so you have enough "off time" to stay sane. Plus, it's a great way to build a following that purchases downloads and CDs. Good luck! - Larry Whitler
@Thousandyearsofchaos Yess, but then it usually last a few years and people decide you're not hip anymore and move on. I'm quite to optimist aren't I? ha
But most of them can't do this one thing. So I'm about to show you the hardest thing you can do on guitar. ( 0:20) Make actual money. It's fuckin' impossible. Can't do. - something like that. I'm also not natvie english :)

and maybe you dont need money likewise the othres say why would u need $ because u need slots in ur bed? man maybe you need to practise more then go on stage rooock and thats the way to get girls on your tail:)))
Haha I was skeptical when I clicked this video... but he's right. Even if you do make a little money playing gigs you'll probably barely break even with the expense of amps, guitars, strings, travel... it's impossible to actually make money
Not gonna lie.. That was pretty fucking funny. I was ready to say "shit i can do that"... but touche... that is something i haven't done. Well played, good sir.. well played.
It just depends on what kind of music you play & were you live. I live In Houston TX.If your in a Metal with originals your not going to make shit. But my friend is in a Metal cover band covering Old Metallica,Megadeath,Slayer,Anthrax & Pantera tunes & they do pretty good. The Cover bands that do country do extremly well. My old guitar teacher use to make anyware from $500 to $2500 a gig.
Making money with the guitar is more of a business skill rather than guitar playing skill. Although it makes it a whole lot easier if you play really good.
@LegendsofGH ha, yesss. there's a lot of players who can do insane but mindless speed licks, lots of videos on youtube called 'fastest player ever' or 'insane shredding', and yes, they are fun to watch, but they are a dime a dozen. yet players like keith richards are the ones who make millions of dollars. for some it's not about money though, and that's cool.
Well, you can actually do money whit music. It's hard to make money with your guitar when you're still thinking that one tomorrow you can be the new rockstar of the moment. But we live in an era where there's a lot of important schools and institutions for musicians, where you can graduate like a college and you can teach in other schools.
Making a living with music is next to impossible because everybody wants everything for free. Ever since the industry changed - name one megaband (like Led Zeppelin, Van Halen etc) without label support?
@johntg123 True. There's ways to do it.... I make instrumentals for TV and do film scores, others teach. But as far as being an ARTIST who does their own music, it's quite hard. You pretty much have to live on tour. It's more about ticket sales and merch sales than album sales. Going the indie route and self-releasing works too, i have lots of friends making money that way.... not 'house in the hills' money, but more than i expected
I used to be really disillusioned about not being able to make money from music. I felt better after I subscribed to lots of musician's advice sites, know I know exactly *why* I'll never make money from music.
before the video started thinking, should be just a beard who likes Vicking metal and is talking to itself, but you underestimate you face is really good
HA. I'm glad to see you all like my stab at humor everybody. Be sure to check out my ACTUAL music... for fans of awesome guitar rock, in the style of Hum, Failure, Helmet... click the link in the description box above.... you won't be disappointed
@LUVable1500 click the link in the description box to hear my album. i'll be doing some regular videos too, with me soloing. i have ones of me singing on my channel though
@Toddity76 u r reli good.the only thing is that i dont like the kind of music u play.but still there r other ppl who like that music.hope u go far with this
That's so true! It's quite impossible for 'bout 99.99 percent of us... me & my band included... that's pretty fucked up considering we're definitely not made for a normal job... which just keeps you bored 5 days a week... year after year... hell no!
@Toddity76 oh ok, thanks answering my comment, you know maybe you should try playing voodo child from jimi hendrix or stairway to heaven from led zeppelin those are really good songs
