I work the most dangerous street in Canada near downtown eastside Vancouver. Videos are unedited, played with maximum soul. Who knows what's going to happen? I meet nice people & lunatics. No one else on YT posts 2 hour improvised solos. I get better the longer I play. It's a form of meditation, getting into the zone! I recently survived a serious brain aneurysm without any paralysis, so I'm on my second life.

The fact you're vilifying some random dude for youtube impressions simply because he wasn't able to socially engage with you is rather gold medal winning. I find most of your content centres around this toxicity rather than anything to do with playing guitar.
🤣 vilifying? this is reality. I’ve been making videos on busking and street idiots for years. where have you been? you know nothing about my content. I have 2500 videos, 99.9% are all about guitar. this video you’re complaining about has six minutes of solid guitar work in it so you don’t even know what you’re talking about. You didn’t even watch it. the fact that you excuse moronic public behaviour tells me all I need to know about you. do you know how RU-vid works? it all centres around click generation with drama, confrontation, and negativity. have you browsed what kind of videos get millions of views? wake up. If all I did was post guitar videos I’d be getting 5 views per video. Some of us need to pay our bills. Do I tell you how to do your job? my suggestion is find another channel and stop trolling.
Maybe he thought you were going to ask him for a filming fee? Guy at 2:55 seems to be enjoying you, but he has headphones on so who knows. Maybe they amplify surrounding music? 👍
Every day on the street is WTF day in the moron olympics. I should be handing out medals to all of them. I'd need about 25 medals per day in bronze, silver and gold. This guy wins the gold. Watch him. If you can achieve his skill level, you might be getting your own medal on youtube.
Every time I thought about busking I would remember the indifferent people in your videos who just couldn't break their routine for 5 fucking minutes to stop and listen to you. If I want to play to no one listening I'll go into my studio. Thanks for enduring these bung holes to bring us your music.
Yeah, it's an extreme patience tester no matter how you slice it. I'm back now to doing studio jams where I don't have to deal with this crap, but still lots of encounters to come! Going to call it WTF Wednesdays!
@@BirdWhisperer46 legally not possible. I’m not an American citizen. Getting even a basic music license for a weekend to work in US is difficult and very expensive.
She felt ashamed to give it.. But she did it!! Similar to your first performance.. It takes courage to walk up and toss something in.. Be grateful it wasn’t something bad.. Hopefully more people will mustard up the courage to toss only good things in to your case ❤️
@shatnershairpiece Can you please upload the original viveod with the audio unedited like the audio in this video. I saw the upload of the full video and you cut out the background noise. I wanna hear it with the background noise. Please🙏😉.
You dont like Brothers in Arms that is your personal taste. One of key elements of good mental health is boundaries. That means if I dont like something it is not universal, it is subjective. You dont like BIA its your personal taste. But if you maintain that this should be universal review then this is called arrogance. It means you consider your knowledge superior of all others who gave this album good review. You play guitar well but you are also arrogant. I like BIA and for me its one of the best from MK. Les solos and much less notes but very tasty ones.
@@OneSupreme08 the whoo hoo song is widely disliked, even by MK. In Ds forums, of FANS, it is continuously graded in polls as one of the worst DS songs along with Les boys. MFN is also a close second in worst Ds songs in polls. BIA is INARGUABLY the weakest DS album musically. Nothing to do with arrogance. 😜 All to do with facts. I can go into very detailed musical reasons why BIA is worse than the other albums. My knowledge and opinion is based on a 55 year musical education in guitar and music that you do not have. I have also outplayed Knopfler many times on many songs and that is the opinion of MANY of my viewers who prefer my solos, and clearly say so in comments. Again, not arrogance: facts. I don’t get millions of views on my improvised versions of sultans of swing for no reason. SALES have zero to do with quality. One of the saddest facts with Ds is that they became popular with their worst album. Also has nothing to do with notes. All Ds albums were sparse on notes as MK plays that way all the time. It has to do with song writing quality, band Quality, production quality, MK laziness, radio sheen, MTV pandering, as well as outright banning of MFN in some countries for 10 years due to offensive lyrics. That makes MFN another song MK will not play anymore. all these things contributed to making BIA a very weak, and also very dated album of the 80’s. The earlier albums do not have any of these issues, or at least not as often.
@@shatnershairpiece He played Walk Of Life live on his solo tour, I was on concert it was 2013 tour and that song was one of highlights of the concert. I also was playing on the street around 10 years, but mostly I was playing my own stuff as I am not fond of repeating what others have already played, so I am not fan of covers. Also when you say I ahve outplayed MK its simply not possible cause he wrote the song. Trust me unoverse is very fair, if you would would vreally deserve that you would have been on stage and play to thousands to fans cheering at your playing. There is some component which you cannot outplay and that is personal feeling which only MK have. Technical performance is just one component but you cannot overplay the orginal artist no matter how good you play even if you play like Paganini. You are arrogant thats who you have problem on street with those fools. You should be grateful to play so well, never compare yourself with others but you can be only grateful and humble that God gave you talent and health and hands which can play so well and makes people happy. Never say I play better than so and so is it not enough to just say I play guitar well, why to compare. You have to learn humility thats why you play on street in this life. My final. Also what I have wrhote in my first post about BIA I will not repeat again and everything else also, I have alread said what I want to say and you can represent thousands of facts, polls opinions, number of people watched your videos etc. Good luck and be more humble you dont know everything.
I think that someday someone is gonna come looking for this guy. Someone who needs a very talented guitarist. This an insane that a talent such as this is not being heard by the masses but I see that it is peaceful. Keep on playing, friend. Too much talent not to keep on playing. Good stuff, Thanks.
thanks. I appreciate it but I think the days of anyone looking for guitarists is long over. in almost 20 years on RU-vid, I have never got a work opportunity related to guitar playing. even with videos hitting 8 million views. no sponsors, no studio offers. nothing. I do it for myself, and for those who get some therapy out of my jams. I have a few dedicated fans.
It seems a kind of tradition to me to listen your jams year or two after ...In fact I return to it every time and then(and highly recommend to all you do it, folks ).You'll feel it's purity and meaning right for yourself .It's somewhat very personal that you have to pass to others - just for loving 'em,caring about 'em,wishing 'em all the best.We need this man,his music,his personality to be with us...
god I wish I wasn't such a useless man... I'm fine now, getting a job and actually studying (university). When the time is right, I need to donate something... kindness is such a simple, beautiful thing. I owe this to him for cheering me up and inspiring me in grimmer times. Thanks shatnershairpiece for sharing! We owe you
Your title obviously drew me to it, but, I would have thought something like WTF, she made my day" or something humorous would have done better. subbed, liked, and black belled.
35,000 views in two days is exceptional. by far, the best views I’ve had on a video in a year. positive angled videos do not get views. on youtube, always go for the negative to get views. it is the ONE truth I have learned after 18 years and 3000 uploads.
The frogs and forest creatures who hang out around the lily pads certainly got a rare treat. And I don't blame you one bit for distancing yourself from weirdo-land!
