I get a bunch of questions about gigs but I feel very under-qualified to answer them since I'm so young and inexperienced. Luckily I know plenty of musicians in town with literally thousands of gigs under their belt so I'm grateful they're willing to share their wisdom with me so I can share it with you guys! I'm really enjoying making these types of videos, so let me know if there's anything specific you'd want me to make a video like this on/you have any feedback for this style of vid. Thanks for watching!
Huge thank you to these awesome musicians for being a part of this video:

I work in skilled construction and a lot of this translates into most industries. People would rather work with someone less skilled but easier to get along with than someone really skilled and hard to work with. Knowing the skills of the easy going person will get better with time

“It’s not battle jazz” love this advice

A professor from a local college’s music performance program recently came to my high school to talk about getting a music performance diploma. They said never to take a gig if you’re not gonna be paid in cash. They said being paid in food isn’t acceptable, and they want their students to be payed fairly.

I think a common misconception is that a musician is tied to a specific genre, like a “jazz” musician or a “rock” musician. This doesn’t have to be the case. As long as they have good understanding of their instrument, the genre, and the role their instrument plays, a musician should be able to put on different hats as the gig requires. It’s all about playing what’s appropriate for that gig.w

The censor sound you made with the downbeat of “Jazz Crimes” is genius.

I work in tech. Every bit of this applies to getting ahead at work in general. Amazing. Great video. I watched the whole thing as usual. This is very good content keep it up.

This video is great, i'm interning at a studio as an aspiring engineer and a lot of this feels applicable to studio work as well!
-
I just recently found your videos, and i have to say you are putting out some great content man. Every video has a great combo of Humor, realness, and humility that really gives us a glimpse into your journey. Also you've got serious skills on your instrument. Keep up the great work!

Being positive and encouraging is a lifestyle. It can't be done only on the gigs.
-
Great advice. Thank you all.

As a player in band, i found very usefull, even if i doing almost all of my part, what i need to. Be positive, be organized, take care of other band members (even for minor things) and you and others will have a good time😄.
