  • The hemisphere! it knows Charlie doo wop. he's just rounded up some cattle in a lime green shell suit

  • What a fucking pompous asshole.

  • a good friend of mine sent me some small us currency as part of a birthday present, i thought it was awesome. maybe that's just me.

  • you're pissed just cause they basically gave you 2 lousy fucking cents? take your punk ass to Africa, Iraq or Afghanistan, you should be lucky you're even getting money, I'm sure the starving and homeless kids from the countries I've listed would be more than grateful over one fucking penny, hell they wouldn't even need your money, you should go kill yourself dude.

  • its the thought they even stopped and looked at u

  • what a fucking prick.

  • Rule number D! WTF

  • What a prick. 

  • Ungrateful little cock shit! Good day to you, you little bull shitter!

  • that's a little harsh, there are some good people that just sing on the streets... don't be ungrateful...

  • hehe my counting skills just went out the window! lolz

  • Just want to say you're a embarrassment. To all musicians. Good day.

  • doesnt it bother you that you have more dislikes than likes?

  • your a fucking wanka you busk for the music not for the coin

  • Dude, stop busking. Your'e not busking 'cause u want a lot of money, you do it for the music!

    And just be glad that man gave you money, your singing is NOT good....

  • You know nothing! Busking's about the music, not how much money you can make. Sure some people do it because they need money but why d'you think they chose busking? Because people like music. Stop complaining and enjoy the actual playing! Twat.

  • nob head

    

  • so you suggest not being a stand alone performer cause i'll make a nub outta myself! Your the nub shithead..i do it all the time and get loads of money..ohh but wait mabey thats because im an attractive girl.....stfu you know nothing little boy

  • Did you seriously suggest people pick violin for busking?

    Do you have any idea how long it takes to learn to play the violin and get good enough at it to perform?

    Y-E-A-R-S.

    I played in for 12 years solid, took a few years out and when I tried playing again it was so difficult I put it away again. It's a monstrously hard instrument to play.

    It's not like guitar where you can cheat your way to competence by learning a few cords and strumming your way through the greatest hits of Status Quo.

  • stop doing your hair! no one cares how red it is!

  • you know dude you're not even that good haha i mean you're decent but really your originals need more work and you need to get your voice waaaay more in tune but well the pont is you should be a little less of a busker or writer that just looks for the applause and be more of a musician and street performer

  • Umm... so stay away from a girl that you believe is attractive? according to you they're gunna be 12-14, the world isnt perv's and wat perv has the money to give

  • Ever heard of foreigners who are out of money?

  • @PhyleTheMan23 ...or locals who'd been given foreign money in their change without realising and threw them in along with a fistful of other coins?

  • what a fucking tosser

  • definitely the number 1 most annoying human being on youtube.

  • Homo....

    

  • why do i want to headbutt you so much.

  • Just a few things.. I have never in my whole life seen someone so full of themself. You're a people person? I highly disagree, I wanted to break your face through the whole video. Also, busking isn't all about the money. It's about the joy of performing to strangers. I've performed on the street more times than I can remember, and only a few times I've actually left my guitar case open for donations. You're not even a musician, I watched your "Love Song", and it sucked. You're just a poser.

  • busking was never about the money kiddo.

  • i thort you were going to be the sweetest kid in the world then you opened your mouth :/

  • well hes a sell out

  • give him a break, english obviously isn't his first language

  • @fbocfbocfboc are you kidding? he's obviously british

  • Respond to this video... my bad australian but still..

  • Your a twat. That is all.

  • @RGF1994 Don't you mean "you're"? I mean if you're going to use proper punctuation, at least spell correctly

  • awww dont hate on the canadians...they gave me and my friend 20euro for playing 2 songs ^^

  • i will never ...and i mean never like you or your ep

  • fuck man don't hate on Canadians! maybe that all he could give you, i'm not saying that you have to be super thankful but you don't need to be a little bitch

  • TELL ME WHERE THE BEACH IS!

  • Fuck that 1 cent donkey!

  • this guy is awesome: FTW!

    

  • STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE

    

  • I Like Your Accent ;)

  • He complains about having to thank people for giving him money, why busk then ?

  • what a cunt

  • You fucking basterd....be a little more grateful u little shit!

  • Yo thanks for the tips dude, sorry for the lame comments youre getting, I thought it was helpful. And hahah! A frikin penny that must have been just to mess with you because you can't buy anything for a cent, not even in America.

  • i love getting stuff like that, you should be grateful for every penny you get!

  • It's not all about the money you know man, if you think it is your in the wrong buisness

  • hey cool video

    I want to start earning money from busking , i love singing so it will just be fun at the same time

    What should i do if i only sing?? Should i use backing tracks or what??

    Ty

    Poppy

  • I lost interest at tip number d..

  • wtf are you talking about. why am i watching this bullshit, what are you the "king" of busking? with a group of 19 year old groupies with your original songs? you think you're the shit don't you?

  • what the fuck does a twelve year old faggot know about about busking anyway

  • Soooo.... I should try to be twelve... awesome...

  • Lol.

    

  • i would preform for pleasure and enjoyement than just getting loads of money.you seem way to focused on the amount of profit you make.

  • it's not about money! play, have fun and if you get a bit of bread then thats a bonus. You talk shit.

  • what a load of bollox you talk lil one 0_o i bin busking for over a year now and i make a good livein its all down to the music u play and how good you are

  • nice

  • No smoking sign? Busking outside? It's a public area and you cannot expect to have any say over whether people smoke or not. They cannot be expected to control which way the wind blows. Also, the baby above giving out advice all based on his busking debut on holiday. At least wait until you have been doing it for a couple of years before you think you have anything of value to offer. Don't play near females he says. Don't play near ANYBODY. Get your own area away from any other performers.

  • This guy is making too much of a deal out of money, you dont busk for money, if you do, THAT is when you should be playing a violin etc.

  • You're mean

  • CANADIAN CENT WIN

  • the name of your EP should be "Fag Diaries"

  • youre such a dip shit lol

  • Hahahahahahhh what a faggooottt!

  • You don't seem like much of a people person :L A bit stuck up

  • So another tip would be to make sure that you have a no-smoking sign. (: This is good information. I'm going to be doing some busking this year so this really helped me.

  • do u have to have big balls to be a good busker? do u?

  • loool

  • my friend in the uk got 30p but they are 9 or 8 lol

  • i think alot of buskers do it for the joy and buzz they get playing to the public getting a few loose change is just a perk the good ones anyway,the stingy barsted was probely paying you to fuck off...lol

  • Great advise, and with the 1 cent I can understand someone giving you nothing or a decent amount but something like a penny just shows that they are trying to get rid of some excess change. It's kind of rediculus, I would be happy with a quarter but a penny

  • i'm gona murder dis cunt...wats with that twitch at 3:09

  • this guy is bent, i'm gona murder him

  • I go busking with a friend, and I would be so excited to find Canadian or American money in my guitar case! Wow! You don't see a lot of it around here. Maybe you should think more about the things they are, not the price. Busking's fun. I just love singing in the streets. It's not all about how much money I earn...

  • Your a Faggot..

  • Don't beg for money! Unless, you are poor. Do it for fun, and if people think your good enough they will tip you naturally.

  • I'm Quite an accepting person and a generous person but one Canadian or US cent is like an insult because they now you can't get them exchanged or anything but people look in your case and nearly laugh.

  • You're a huge faggot. 

  • didnt know you get get $20 coins! :/

  • Chuck Norris is coming through your computer and kicking you in the location

  • Get some confidence, never accuse people of not being generous enough, and as a woodwind busker, you can still stop and talk to people to thank them.

  • tip number d hahahaha

  • LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

    I PACK PICKED A PARK!

    LOL

    ADULT KIDS ADULT WITH KIDS LOL.

  • LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

    I PACK PICKED A PARK!

    LOL

  • uh, groupies? but gr8 tips tho i made $70 in Washington D.C. XD

  • Hey Sebastian, I loved your vid but consider this:

    -People work at jobs they hate to give you money to do something you love.

    -When people stop and stare at you it's because you have entranced them - FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THEM AFTER THEY STOP!

    -You always get less than you give, so think about how you can give more

  • Anybody else wish they had a "hangdrum"?

  • hey little guy , been a full time busker for 17years , and I can confirm that this is all great advice, but maybe you should use the same persona you use on the street to make your video man because you are just coming across a bit mercenary .

    little tip pace your music to the pace of the street they can throw money without breaking step. and make eye contact , they have to acknowledge your existence.

  • @leafgordon70 Good tip about the eye contact, I've been a bit edgy about that whole thing, don't want to creep anyone out.

  • Comment removed

  • i have been busking for about 8 years now and i can safely say it doesn't matter how old u are, what u look like, what u play, as long as u try your best. never call people stingy, the fact they gave u anything in the first place is great.. the world does not owe you a living!

    maybe u should give ur foreign currency to charity?? they collect lots which means they can change it up

  • Comment removed

  • k, I need figure out how to be 12 or 13 again.

  • how old are you?

    And all this stuff you got from 10 days of busking,or you red from somewhere? :-PP

  • How old are you?

    All this stuff you got from 10 day busking or you red from somewhere,like busking world? :-P

  • I can't resist but commenting on how arrogant this kid sounds... OMG.

  • @stanmorephoenix It's good that he's arrogant it will take him far. But, people are gonna sense that IMMEDIATELY and be put off by it.

  • Telling people what instrument to play isn't helping them to improve their busking... Why would you have to play a violin if you're not a people person? You could play guitar, banjo, drums, whatever the hell you liked.

  • @SpacePyjamas Lol, true story... downtown Denver last year I saw a Kazoo Quartet... they made a killing, not the classiest of all insturments. But they put on one hell of a show!!!

  • Alright, I'm sorry but you seem so full of yourself. Some good tips though.

  • hahahhaha shutup you dont know anything

  • I've heard your stuff and it's pretty crappy...

  • ahahha pause the vid at 4:16 :D

  • thanking people for giving you money shouldn't be annoying, it's just polite... you dweeb, tryin to tell people how to busk.

  • any tips for a magician lookin to busk, surely youve seen some of them doing it and can give me some advice as to what draws the crowd for them and what is appealing to the public?

  • xDD That stingy bastard! Candian cent and a US cent! Hahaha.

  • taking advantage of kids? u sly bastard XD BAHAHA, no but seriouly do u need a permate? because i would like to busk with my mate during the summer to make some spare cash haha thanks i would really appreciate an answer

  • @SwanSong2156 it all depends on where you plan to busk, everything concerning street music, art displays, ice cream stands, etc. is dealt with by municipal government, i would recommend asking a local police officer or going to city hall or wherever the municipal government is based out of... and also, try to busk in a public place like a park or town square and if not then always respect the wishes of the people who own the business that you play outside of.

  • Haha great video! Good tips! Check out "The Short Sistars" on youtube who do quite a lot of busking in New Zealand. Have a good night :)

  • So can you just go to any public park or whatever and start playing? I know there are licenses but what are the odds of you being confronted?

  • y cant u tell us were u busked?

  • A few more years before you give advice

  • @sfmag1

    Agree.

  • Great Tips. Thank You & Good Luck with the EP!!

  • to pull it off? try talent!

  • Interesting stuff!

  • the way to make money is to play good music, you sly, ungreatful prick!!

  • what if you are a very good singer :D then you could sing :)

  • Okay, -dont busk near other buskers full stop. -I play Alto Sax and Bow or something when i get a hit. -Playing Jazz Sax , I usually just improvise on a blues scale for hours on end so I never run out of material.-Also I've found busking outside supermarkets helpful, loose change is plentiful and they hear throughout the supermarket before coming out to thankyou for a change to that tacky supermarket music that your draining out.

  • Dude you're really funny.

  • dude don't call people stingy bastards if they give u small, foreign currency i busk a lot and have like probably the equivelant of 12 dollars AUD in foreign currency and poker chips. Make a collection of random shit people give u and remember that any donation is a generous one

  • hay nice video good tips some ive heard before some i havent.. out of curiosity how many songs would you play say in one location and how long for. Happy australia day btw

  • u such dicks

  • thanks dude!

  • Look kiddo I like the fact that you are sharing your experiences and admire you for doing orgional songs but unfortunately these aren't tips if you want some real tips mail me ok I'll try and give you some advice. I'm a 20 year novice so I have the experience and would love to take you under my wing OK

  • you dont need to stop to say thanks, just say it while you're playing, its even better to integrate it into the song, swap some lyrics for thank you and make sure it fits and its good.

  • i'm going busking tomorrow!

    i am not playing an instrument though! i am literally street "performing" cause i am doing magic!

  • Here are a few adjectives that will get you even more money. You need to be... Good Unique Entertaining Original Happy Engaging Funny Expressive etc. If you could be described with any of those adjectives, then you shouldn't have a problem. This kid's advice is for mediocre talents. P.S. It's not about the money, it's about the art.
  • fuck you dick

  • guys, busking is for fun! find some friends to busk with and vary your instruments, tomorrow im going to the mall on black friday with my mandolin and 2 other guitar players, cant wait!

  • "heaps!"

  • @arjunkaul

    ...like on 'Cool Runnings'. lol.

  • LOL

    This is insane

  • Shit your ammo

  • um, dude, look, you seem really nervous in this vid and these arent tips, these are basic laws

  • Dood... I busk aswell... i'm 14... And can earn £90 inside 2 hours... Your talking SHIT! Sorry.... but "don't sit near a girl busker, especially if she's attractive".. that's BULLSHIT! For a start every busker should have there own spot away from all other buskers, regardless of sex or appearance. BTW, i've had 1 cent US dollar coins in my case before... better than nothing dood...

  • SOME STINGY BASTARD! 2 cents....perhaps that's all he thought you were worth. Seems about right to me

  • LOL

  • Good advice, young bro!

  • If your good people will stop listen and pay.

  • ive never wanted to hit a brit more then rightttt now, fuckkkkk me that was like 50% useful advice and 50% stupid as fuck.. like "not beside a girl busker" ... try not beside any fucking busker... find your own spot, or get there first, and if it all leads down to it, dont go for gender, find the worst one ... "the girl gets more" yeah that sure makes sense, breasts and vagina sure do play the notes better... ... if u wanna busk, take watever u have, put ur heart into it and have a good time

  • hes from australia quite blatantly

  • He's obviously not British!!!!!!

  • I think avoiding cute girls is not a very good idea. Instead, work with them. LOL. It gets me money.

  • fair dinkham cobber,i heard surfing with sharks is pretty cool.hope the dingos dont bite,catch you.

  • I've been busking for a few years, it's fun if you're in the right mood. I've gotten lots of recognition out of it, and many gigs. Thanks for the video.

  • U speak like Jonathan Rhys-Meyers...

  • I don't know if you meant to do this or not, but you sound like a jerk. The fact that anybody gave you any money at all is something you should be proud of. Don't expect that everybody has an obligation to give you cash for strumming a few major chords on a guitar. Come down off your 14 year old high horse and learn some humility and love.

    Best of luck.

  • are your eyebrows real?

  • @broganski hahaha

  • "This does not matter enough..." kinda contradicting yourself there man :P

  • good advice i'll remember that oh and also your pretty cute check that ur really cute and right now i'm 12 years old gonna be 13 on october 25 let see is there anything i forgot...oh yes do u wanna be my friend well bye

  • Good advice. I have lived for 15 years in the UK from the procedes of busking. When I moved to Australia I gave over 2Kg of foriegn coins to a charity. Get used to it kid. Worse than that is people who stop, listen for a while, take your photo and dont give you any money.

    My advice to make big bucks, do something different, something people aren't expecting. Oh and try not to become too synical about the general public, I did. You earn more money when you enjoy what your doing.

    Good Luck.

  • YAY Street Performing !!!

  • I would street perform, but you need a license in this state

  • i go busking and made 300 bucks in 2 hour check my vid busking ben by superdude1996rules

  • is this a joke lol david brent comes to mind

  • Just thought I'd throw in a little more to my rant, age doesn't matter.

  • Excuse me, but maybe he didn't have money, which would mean he isn't stingy. Also, you are more stingy than him; it's not like people are required to give you money, so quit bitching if he doesn't drop you $50. Where I'm from, we play downtown, where the most people are, just for fun. Yes, it's nice to make some money, but the point of street performing is to entertain and have fun, not be a whiny little penny-pincher. People will empty their pockets of change for us, and no matter how much it

  • is, we are grateful for the fact that they gave us any. We were there for 3 hours one day, and over 5,000 people walked past us, and we made a grand total of only $14, most of which in change, but the point is, we hade fun! You are a douche-bag for calling that one person stingy, and quit whining about smokers. Is it not legal in your area? You are pathetic!

  • totally agree haha

  • well said hawk i say thanks to every one who gives me money even if its 1 pence or 1 pound,but there are loads of people who would love to give you money but they can so a compliment is worth a million to me,this wee guy busked for a total of ten days not in his home town try and busk where you are known thats a true test of buskin lol

  • people prefer covers, they want to hear the music they know and love!

  • not true

  • some stingy bastard ha ha ha anway bro how long have you been playing guitar ?

    i've been playing for 7-8 years rok on

  • capitalist pig! haha
