    In this special episode of The Music is Win Podcast, I talk to Periphery guitarist and Horizon Devices founder Misha Mansoor. If you're interested in turning music into a career, this podcast is required listening. Misha's unique insights as both a member of a big time band and an entrepreneur in the music industry provide clarity on just what it takes to find success in the current landscape of 2018. There are plenty of actionable tips that you can take away from our conversation, as well as advice on how to become a great guitarist while preparing for the fact that it will probably take more than just having sick skills on the instrument to forge your career.

      Why not write the description in the description?

    • @mistuhjonez
      @mistuhjonez 6 лет назад +3

      I would assume because he can pin it to the top of the comments section so that way as soon as anyone scrolls down they can get the description without having to click "show more" under the video...Why would it matter where he puts it you dumpster?

    When misha says it's tough to break into an industry you KNOW it's tough

  • @ZedChuva
    @ZedChuva 6 лет назад +164

    At the 30:00 mark, Misha nailed it on the head. Merch is a great seller, but Periphery are a gear band. Look at most bands, and they all have say, an Ibanez deal, so all guitarists play Ibanez. But with Periphery, they have Ibanez, Jackson, PRS, then Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio and Bare Knuckle pickups. Not to mention Nolly and his Dingwalls, and Misha/Matt/Nolly having GetGood Drums and Misha with Horizon. Each guitarist have their own, multi-brand deals, and that's damned smart.
    And like others have said, Misha is SUCH a chill dude. Met him numerous times, and he's always been down to earth and a great dude.

      really dynamic,a bit too close of it though

    • @toebs_
      @toebs_ 6 лет назад +3

      Actually there isn't much dynamic at all in there, his voice is veeery compressed. Could instantly host a generic radio show with that setup.

    At 17:50 Misha says "the best guitarist, that's not even a thing" I can't agree more! There is always someone somewhere that is better and players keep getting better all the time!! Great vid!!

    This was my first time ever hearing or seeing Misha, and I must say, I am very grateful for it. Periphery are now one of my favorite bands, and Mr. Bulb has very quickly become an idol of mine. His workflow and ability to write such complex and nuanced music without even knowing music theory, (at least, not in a traditional way), has motivated me so much. He's so down to earth, his riffs are fire, and his chemistry and ability to write so well with Mark and Jake is greatly inspiring to me.
    I aspire to be like Misha Mansoor one day.
    Bulb is love, Bulb is life.

    Hi, my name is Stefan and... I'm a guitar buying addict.
    Guitar buying addiction is a serious condition... I just... It's hard man... I just can't stop. If i don't get a new guitar every few months i get depressed. Once you start you cant stop. All of you who feel the same way like i do i want you to know that you are not alone... I know how it feels when you need that strat, when you have to have a red telecaster, when one les paul isn't enough... *sobbing (imagine it)*
    I bought a classical acoustic cause i know i'll need that cutaway after few days...
    To all people who feel the same.
    YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!

    Yeah, unfortunately any person with general wisdom about the music industry knows that the days of making money off of an album have long since past; Unless, of course, you’re an enormous name in the industry (practically A-List). You have to be smart about your gameplan if you wanna make it in music. You have to have a business model that works and a lot of the conventional avenues have died. Music school for instance is sparcely going to land you a free ticket into big time music production. You’ll get internships and assistant positions but there is very little money left like there was in, say, the 70s. It’s a bygone time but still you can make it. Just be social and master the game of getting known. If you exist on the radar people will see the things you’re doing. That’s the first secret to success.

    Great video you two! I'd like to embellish a bit about the part of being cool. That may have different meanings to different people. In my opinion, being cool means; Be a positive minded person that people want to be around. Focus on what can be done, instead of what can't! Be someone that people can count on and even confide in. Be dependable. Be on time and do what you say you're going to do. Follow through! Be a great a communicator! Be thoughtful and deliberate in all you do!

  • @evaderknives
    @evaderknives 6 лет назад +1

    In Premiere Pro & Studio One, I always go into settings and set autosave to like 3 minutes, with a max of 6-10.... it has saved me more than once, that's for sure. That way you just set it and forget it and if something happens you only lose up to the last couple of minutes...

    I totally understand Misha's mindset of being more a composer than a guitarist. He has melodies & ideas in his head, and guitar is just one tool for him to quickly express them. Like Jake, he also writes amazing electronic parts.

    Musicians, and artists in general, should take a page out of the software development book and learn about version control systems for tracking changes. I think some people recommend Mercurial for large binary files. It could probably just be done in Git for small-ish projects.

    Misha NAILED the explanation about how most people in the music industry have a proactive approach. I also think this is why we see so many muscians succeed in music and also business ventures. It really does all start from an approach that is derived from a mindset. Everyone I come across seems to want a technical explanation on how to become successful in music, when really it is overarching, macro principles. I have seen this time and time again with friends that are successful in the music industry and people who are also successful in other industries. Train the mind first!
