Hey man, I watched this video this morning just after it appeared. And you know what? I did it. I took my equipment and played at the pier for an hour. I made $7. So the time and the placement might need work but, I did it! You said ... just do it. And I did. So it begins. Thanks!!
Right on!
I've been contemplating forever. It's such a big step when you are nervous. Really well done!
@@NeungView you can do it too!
Congrats!! Awesome!
This is so epic! You've made the hardest step, it gets easier from here! So stoked on this and this thread of comments is so heartwarming! So so cool! 😀 🙌
Yeah, Blink and Millencolin! Great Song Interpretation 🎉
Incredible bands! Thank you! 😀 🙌
Responsibility > motivation 🌟
Well put!! 🙌 😀
Loving all your videos.. 75 and finally doing serious busking. Have a great morning location and looking for others. Making people smile is my motivator and the money is building. My only competition is trucks passing by 😊🤠😎👏👍🎸 🎸 🎶
So rad to hear!! 🙌 😀 I love that you're getting out there!
Just finished busking in Brisbane beautiful blue skies,I’m 72 years young having a blast
I busk in New Zealand and it is hard work but if you love music nothing will stop you aye
SO nice!! Busking under blue skies is always favourable! Stoked you're out there! 😀 🙌 🇦🇺
I’m going to watch this while washing the dishes. I have my first scheduled concert tomorrow. #nervous
Woo! The ideal time to watch an ARP video! 😂 Enjoy the gig, I hope it goes well! 😀 🙌
Oh man, you are hero ❤
I appreciate it, just tryna spread the musical magic! 😀 🙌
Nice, I think you are doing well 👍
Self starters succeed. Discipline sets you free. Just what I needed to hear today. Thank You! (thank you thank you thank you). (where are the t-shirts and hoodies on your merch site?)
I appreciate it so much! 😀 🙌 No tees or hoodies yet - I'm working on it!
In the morning i watched this video and i went out in the evening to play on my buckets, its been almost 1 year since i went out and made €224/hour. Tysm 😊
Dang!! That’s incredible. Love that the video helped spurred this on! So rad! 😃🙌🏻
Problems will always exist. Learn to enjoy life while solving them.
Love your attitude my friend. Great video!
SO well said! Life really is just problem solving, even better when the problems to solve are about something you truly care for! 😀 🙌
Just wanted to say a big thankyou for these great videos you make, especially this one.
I'm nornally a shy person but i passionatley love music and always envied people who could just get up there and do it.
So eventually decidee to throw myself in the deep end play some basic covers at an open mic. . . .and all my fears never happened and i done it more and more and it got better
So at the moment busking scares me a little but with your video and just a constant reminder myself to get past the fear i hope to be out there soon (just need to gain the equipment).
Sorry for the long comment but basically thank you and hope to see you in sutton my home town. Keep rocking 👍😎👍
This is so cool to hear! So stoked for you! 😃🙌🏻 true courage is to feel the fear and do it anyway! Busking is much like the open mics, as soon as you start performing all the anxieties fall away! Keep at it and thank you again!
Dude your totally an inspiration . You never fail at anything unless you give up . And you can fail at something you hate so why not do what you love . Respect x
So well said! Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it! 😀 🙌
Just subscribed from California USA. Need to begin busking and you say a lot of helpful things to help a terrified person start. It doesn't help that I live in a rural area with a minimum 1 hour drive to get to somewhere in which I think I might set up. Thanks for the inspiration. I hope I take action sooner than later.
So stoked you're subscribed and along for the journey!! Also so cool you're going to give busking a go! Even if it's just a one off or a few times here and there, it'll still be rewarding! 😀 🙌
Another great video - do it for as many reasons as you can - set your expectations as low as possible and then surpass them…….
Well said! We have a piece of art that says ""Expect nothing, appreciate everything" - it's a rad and important sentiment! 😀 🙌
@@AugustRadioProject that is a cool sentiment - enjoy your day of busking.
im working in cambridge rn for a summer job >< you're a legend mate. keep going!
What a place! Great for busking too (when it's not CRAZY windy!) 😀 🙌
a dude standing up on a tightrope playing a violin, write that down it's a line in a song.....somewhere, sometime, great video by the way very enlightening
Very true!! Thank you so much! 😀 🙌
What a great video and a truly beautiful city. Thanks for the heads up about the parking too 🤗Yup, motivation and discipline are crucial - whatever life throws ...busking is the best medicine too so its always worth it.
Aaahaha..."a dude standing on a tightrope playing a violin..." You really cannot argue with that can you??! 😳🤣
It's wonderful place, for busking and for a visit! I'm stoked you'll be able to use the parking Kate 😀 🙌 the tightrope violinist was incredible, not just the act but the entire set up... 4 donation cases!! 🤣
@@AugustRadioProject ah cool..deffo on my wishlist to visit 😁👍 Wow the tightrope/ violin performer must need at least 2 big 'ol trolleys!! 😱 🤣...fair play to them though!! 😂👍
Thanks!
Dave! Thank you so much for this. SO kind. I really appreciate the support! 😀 🙌
@@AugustRadioProject ... It's all good. Thanks for doing what you do.
Dude no way we were in Cambridge on the same day and I didn't catch you playing! I'm upset 😆 I think I was there too late. Saw the tightrope guy though
Dang! Next time! I'll definitely be passing through again! 😀 🙌 Tightrope guy was something else... stoked you saw him!
So I watched this whilst restringing my fiddle, long overdue. And two observations, act like you are.......and you may well feel that. Its been long known that doing anything creative generates positivity. Thir(oops)d, step outside time and look at where you were, where you are, where you want to be. Finally ( yep wrote the intro before I sorted out my ideas) think about the BEST that will happen if you follow a certain path. Gotta go, practising a guitar loop and playing fiddle over it, Pachelbels canon BTW.
So cool! A great activity to do whilst watching an ARP video! 😀 🙌 wise words here Patch - I always try to add onto every "What if...", "What if the MAGIC really happens!" - because a lot of the time, it does!
Exactly what I need to hear … probably 😊❤
Appreciate it Marshlander! 😀 🙌
I've been picking up my busking again part of a duet with a drummer, hitting Brighton town centre a fair bit, thanks for the inspiration my dude 😊😊😊
So rad to hear!! 😀 If I see you I'll come and say Hi 🙌
Brilliant video Ben. Just what I needed as I’ve been lacking motivation for a few weeks. I’m going back in the shed to get off the plateau. Cheers.
Yes! So good to hear! 😀 🙌
Hello!
Great content, inspiring indeed!
I am planning to go busking for the first time in my life soon!
Keep it up!
Best wishes!
Thank you so much! Definitely get out there, it's so rewarding on many levels! 😀🙌
I love your videos and they are really useful. I go to different country’s in stead of towns so I guess I am similar to you😂
So rad! Stoked you find the videos useful and love that you travel to different countries! 🙌 😀
Best video you've done in a long time. Great stuff, man. I really struggle with motivation and discipline in my life and I struggle to find a way to fix it or tackle the main issue in my life but I think you might be on to something and that if I try and tackle the smaller things and be disciplined with those, maybe it'll one day help me be more disciplined with the bigger things. I'll give it a shot.
Thank you Joshua! I'm stoked this video has offered some help! Focusing on smaller, more manageable actions is always the way to make bigger change happen! 😀 it's a pretty well known book but Atomic Habits by James Clear has loads on this particular subject, definitely recommend it (audio or written versions!) 🙌
Loving your channel thank you ☺️
So stoked to hear! Thank you! 😀 🙌
Fantastic! Self discipline, self accountability and a positive attitude is the key to success. Thank you!
So true and well put! 😀 🙌
Hi dude, do you think in a future video, you could go through the differences between getting a good pitch to play vs a bad pitch to play and the reason why?
Cheers as ever my man
Gotta say whereveri busk I never generate as much as ARP. Also, I have played a pitch and got £50, played it again got £20! Go figure.
It's a subject that I've thought about making a video on before. It's a tricky one because over the time I've been a busker, I've discovered more and more that there isn't really a way to tell.
A good pitch, in theory, is one where you're in a relatively busy pedestrian only area, away from noisy construction and busking is well-tolerated (if not celebrated!). A bad pitch, in theory, is a place where there's next to no foot traffic, it's very noisy and you're likely to get asked to leave... However, there's been times where I've set up in quieter areas, where there's been little foot traffic, a noisy road nearby and I've preceded to have an incredible busk. Then there's been times where I've set up in the 'ideal spot' and had next to no attention or donations!
It's the great mystery of busking! 😂 🙌
I think I can certainly do a video outlining what to look for when you're searching for a busking pitch so I'll try and put something together! 😀 🙌
Hi, thanks a lot for your advices and for sharing your experience. It helped me a lot to take the step. I went busking yesterday and I made 61€ in 1 hour wtfff. As you said, just go for it and see what happens. Love from France broo
YES! This is rad. So stoked for you! Exactly why I make these videos! 😀 🙌
Can't find Summer's channel 😢 How about doing something with her from time to time? She was cool. Also, the recording with that new amp has made SUCH a difference.
Dang! Here try this: www.youtube.com/@summeryonga/
Summer is epic eh! Great musician and a great energy too! 😀 🙌 and I totally hear you, if it wasn't for the Mackie this video wouldn't have been possible with all the wind!
Great video,Very inspiring 😊
😀 🙌 Glad you liked it!
It is really good and I hope i will do like you in london someday !
I am rooting for you :)
당신을 응원합니다 !
Thank you! I appreciate it! 😃🙌🏻
I just had my JBL 110 and my Jackery that I used for busking stolen. I have been really bummed out about it. So, thanks for the inspiration mate
Dang! That sucks, I'm sorry to hear! Was it stolen whilst out busking? 😔 I hope you're able to get back out there asap! Sending good vibes your way! 🙌
Such a great video man! Thanks for the encouragement.
Thank you! Stoked you liked it! 😀 🙌
Great video!
Appreciate it! 😀 🙌
Great Motivational vid do you use any pedals while busking
Thank you! I don't currently use any pedals... I've never really been somebody to use pedals throughout all my years of playing, I'm not really sure why! I am a little intrigued by those vocal harmonising pedals... perhaps it's time to step into that world! 🙌 😀
@@AugustRadioProject I use a play acoustic pedal while busking it's a harmoniser, body res , and DI all in one great pedal 5hanks
Nice video as always! As a fellow busker I always find it hard to know if I am too loud or if my amp is turned up too much.
I was wondering how do you do your sound checks or how do you setup your sound volume after you’ve picked a spot ?
It's a great question! It's something that I've found comes with time. Heading out over and over, after a while you get used to where the volume should be. I also turn up a little more when it's busy/noisy, and turn down a little if I'm in a smaller place with less people. 😀 🙌
@RonOmallyOfficial This is one of the benefits of allowing someone else to play a couple of numbers (like ARP did with Summer). It gives you a chance to see how loud it sounds from a distance, and you can use it to adjust the balance with vocals/guitar and tone settings. Once you have found some good settings it's worth writing them down for reference. As ARP points out, you can then adjust the overall (master) volume depending on the requirements of the location (proximity of shops/housing/stallholders etc).
If someone starts chatting to me and I find out they are a musician, I often ask them if they want to sing a song - it can lead to some fun interactions.
Hey I am from India I also want to start basket
Hey! So cool to hear! 🙌 😀
Dude playing violin while balancing on a tight rope?? That's kinda hard to compete with. Kinda like playing second fiddle there. I know.. You could get a unicycle and ride in circles while playing guitar and singing... Na! You're doing great just doing what you do. On a serious note though, excellent video. Lot of good advice and definitely motivating. Love the positive attitude and thanks for another peak into the busking life. You will be playing Wimberley before you know it.
Thank you John! I appreciate it as always! The tightrope violin is a wild one eh! Super impressive! The set up too - wild that he manages to carry that around from place to place. He had 4 cases set up on each side for donations...! 😀 🙌
That's what you call dedication.
