Thank you for this video Rob! it was really helpful
This video is uncannily relatable.. the art as a kid, starting playing guitar at 13... thank you for the motivation.
Thanks for watching! 🤟
Oh God someone else too-
Ig it only means that art in general, being a force in the human mind, awakens our artistic genre inside of us, be it painting and drawing or playing an instrument

cool pfp
Thank you very much. It helped me alot to decide what im gonna do
Thank you for this, very great insight!
Thanks for this video! Great inspiration!
This is beyond informative. Would love if you wrote a handbook on this topic. Like you, I also was interested in art as well. I thought I was gonna be an artist but I discover guitar and things change. I started out playing In church. Never thought I was good enough to play anywhere and I ended up in a jazz ensemble. It was the first time I heard money from guitar. From there I was lucky enough to land a teaching gig part time at a college. Never thought I was good enough but seeing complete beginners leave playing a whole song was very motivating and fulfilling. Right now Im trying to get out of my parents house. So Im taking my career as a guitarist serious. I really didn’t know the value of the opportunities I have as a guitar player until watching this video.
Good luck! It’s been tough during this virus but fingers crossed it’ll all get back on track!
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm a guitar player seeking for a way to make a full time income from music. This was very encouraging, thank you.
This video was really helpful! Thank you I subbed!
Thank you so much for this info
Rob I love how authentic you look in your videos, It gives me the impression that you are just being a polite version of yourself and not acting to be accepted and get more views. Really appreciate that.
Right on Rob, I have been learning to play for the past three years, now I'm looking at how to start getting out and joining a band and playing gigs. Thanks for the info.
@Jack Tapley yes, I now have a guitar teacher, I am currently learning some VanHalen on my own and My teacher is giving me a steady diet of theory, circle of fifths, triad structure and scales.
This past two weeks I've been drilling on arpeggios traveling up and down the neck with sweep picking through the major key and also picking triplet arpeggio patterns ascending and descending.
I take my guitar to work and play on my breaks, I play a couple of hours every night.
Three weeks ago I met and talked with a musician here who hosts an open mic every thursday at a local bar in the down town music district, I played him a demo of a song I wrote and produced just recently called Pain Machine, he loved it and invited me to come down some time to the jam.
I'm heading there tomorrow night.
All good my friend?
I love this, im a musician studying at BIMM London and worried about how earn money after graduating next year, but this is definitely motivating mate, cheers!
Serge Belov Good luck 🤟 thanks for watching!
Great video, Rob. A lot of interesting things for people to think about if they’re interested in earning money as a guitarist:)
Thanks Donna!
Amazing video!
Great video ❤
Nice video bro , doing a great job
Thanks man 🤟
Very interesting. Great vid.
colblimp thank you for watching!
@@RobGalley Looking forward to more great content.
Incredible video, saw it whole. Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Sooraj Bhai India m ho payega yhi sb??
@@Corehinduism bhai i believe if you get fairly good at guitar and relocate to a bigger city, then competition in India is not too huge and one can make a living playing guitar
@@SoorajIsTheMan well I belongs to a very standard city in terms of music n dance that is dehradun..
But it seems next to impossible here in India..
Govt has budget for khelo india as well now...but nothing is given to music..
And I m fed up of punjabi music n bollywood crap as well since I my birth...
I m rock n roll listner n player...
Well that's a different thing..
Gigs is the only good way of source...
I know other than that...you tube earning...
Those who are adroit in skills n have production can do it...
And those who give lesson on how to play thing on one single string...
Being a music teacher faculty is also a thing...but that requires a whole trinity grades as well..I m persuing that as well..too bit late with that too...
And even after that let's see how much I can survive...
No one supports in music... parents n none..
It's sick fight..
Seems astonished to see bands like the local train ...making own music and getting audience is a dream in terms of rock n roll audience in India...
Well too much talk..
But mannn bhari hi rhta h...in sb m...khrrr...tc..bhai
I know this was nearly 3 years ago, but thank you for the guide, im 13 and i kinda just want to work in guitar center
thanks man # respect , i wish in my country people would help and tell you ways to become a better musician and tell ways to earn money too from that but here ppl are fkn jealous if you are making some progresss in music or anythng else for that matter >thanku
This popped up in my recommended. But ive got to say, I do it too. And its all about discipline, skill, and determination. Then its all bureaucracy
Great video! What was the name of the agency that puts together function bands you mentioned !?
Subscribed 💓
How much is a good rate to start charging? Hourly and half hour? Thanks for the video I subscribed 😀
Subbed!
I just started guitar and I love it I have mocks and gcses soon but I try spend at least 30 mins a day practicing and trying to get better I might be getting an electric guitar for Christmas or my birthday :) my great uncles actually in a band which is cool maybe he could help me out with jobs and stuff
I think that people that told you thise things about guitar, even though they discouraged you, they meant for good. I mean, nowadays a lot of musicians don't know how to make money, why would your parents or teachers know? (Unless they were into the music business) anyway, awesome video! Just leaving my thoughts here :)
Hey Rob, really good video. I found you by searching for this topic. I’ve had my TH-cam guitar channel for awhile and I’m just getting to the 1000 subscribers milestone but I have a long way to go for the watch hours requirement to start making TH-cam money. However, my goal is to be making a living teaching and playing guitar in next 2 to 3 years. I am curious since this video is 3 years old and now you’re over 10,000 subs, only talking TH-cam, can you tell me if you have added other income streams that have really helped you such as affiliate marketing, livestreams with super chats, or anything else like that?
I just do this for the sake of rockin'.
What skill level would you suggest to teach or play
Greetings from your American Brother ! I play a mean guitar also. :)
Thanks for watching!
u r soo underrated
then who the hell are u😂😂😂 look at your ownself first before judging others lol🤣🤣🤣🤣

Guitar Players Unite !!!✌ ☮
I've been playing guitar for around 2 1/2 years now, and have been keeping a job such as becoming a guitar teacher or player in consideration (still in school). Out of curiosity, how long had it taken you to master guitar? Also, how much income would you get out of something such as teaching guitar? Btw, love your channel and hope you can help out!
In terms of mastering the guitar - I don't consider myself a master! But I have currently been playing for around 17 - 18 years, Been performing professionally for about 4 or 5 years & studied theory too so I'm confident I am at a good enough level to teach. Most of my lessons are either total beginners or people who have been playing for a while but perhaps hit a brick wall with their playing. As for income that totally depends on what you'd want to charge for your time, or if you teach as part of a school (like I do) then whatever they charge. Here in the UK the national average for an hours guitar lesson is around £25 - £35 ($31 - $44) which is what my lessons cost. So the more lessons you have the more you'll earn! Hope this helps
@@RobGalley Awesome! Thanks for replying! Also I totally think you're a master. I've seen your vids! Anyways, i'm glad to hear that you've taken up something you enjoy rather than something you can 'just do'. I started off getting taught in school but due to events (something about funds for school) I've ended up having to teach myself (hopefully for just for this year). Would you know any good resources or tips that I should know of that'll help me out? No worries if you don't, just thought that it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Alfreatski Things that have served me well is to work on being able to figure things out by ear pretty quickly! Then as for theory just make sure you have a pretty wide knowledge of scales, intervals & chords - including how to build chords etc. & then perhaps look into the circle of fifths, that’s a great tool!
@@RobGalley Awesome! Thank you so much! I'll start looking into it very soon!
Did you go to music university?
People seem not to think that it earns big money.
Or used to.
so during lockdowns your screwed?
im in Brazil and i need share my music
teach how lost gutiar in massachusetts
I'm 18 and just started learning.. am I too late?
Nope
Your Instagram handle doesn’t work
How are you doing with this covid-19 thing?
You could put yourself out as being able to teach on weekdays , so that weekends are free
Your schedule as a guitar teacher is based another your clients' availability, not usually your own, which ends up being nights and weekends
Im 14 years old, when im older i wanna play in a punk band. However, my mom says i cant make money being in a band, but im not gonna give up
Edit: now i want to revive glam metal
There’s definitely ways of making money in a band! Through ticket sales, merch, Music sales, TH-cam - I think people only think about the fact that people don’t really buy music like they used to but they forget about all the other ways you can monetise. If you get a loyal enough fan base & are passionate go for it 🤟
@@RobGalley thank you, you are a legend, although my mom says that it costs to much to actually make music
Pro tip: don't get into drugs. That means weed too, and avoid tobacco if you can. If you're serious about music, make that your addiction. Try to learn something new everyday, or every week. While your young is the best time. I'm 20 years old now, and I regret all the time I wasted noodling around on guitar and not taking advantage of my free time to learn some music theory. Once youre working and paying bills you'll have very little time and energy to focus on learning. Good luck
Sometimes parents are wrong . Don’t give up and do what you need to do to make it happen.
@@majr6045 im 15, I've started smoking cigarettes, i was actually smoking when you made this comment. I'll avoid all the other drugs, other than alcohol.
How do you make a living as a musician now during the pandemic?
Teaching online guitar lessons!
Can you elaborate on what that situation is that assembles you into a band, and gets you work? I don't know what on earth that is, but it sounds interesting.
You really spoke to me. I'd be happier working in a guitar shop than being some corporate drone. Since the pandemic derailed my life I've had to start hearing my mom pep me up about "getting a GOOD high paying job that pays lots of money" ...and makes me feel like I'm wasting my life too?
I really hope I can make this work.
Thanks for watching. I’m glad im not the only one who would rather earn less doing what I love than earn more doing something I hate. As for the bands, just search for any wedding/function band agencies that might be on the lookout for more musicians to add to their roster. Perhaps look for local auditions etc. Failing that, start your own! Then build it from there, if you target yourselves for functions & events there’s more money in that than playing bars or even normal gig venues. Good luck man 🤟
@@RobGalley thanks!
Very interesting video...Would be great to make 100 pounds a month with playing guitar :)
