I can't not do this, even with my garden hose - the habit was ingrained in my navy days. I use the twist and flip method, tho' I worked once with an former circus roustabout stagehand who did his in some weird kind of interpretive dance. I was also told not to do this by a sound guy I vastly respected, for taking up slack in live cables for incomprehensible reasons - but who was I to argue with a guy who worked for Springsteen.
Right?! Most men I see with a man bun, fille with the urge to cut it off at the scalp. Leaving a shiney bald spot where the stupid thing purched. (I don't act on this but, my brain had made a very entertaining cartoon it runs. Lol) I think the reson our man SG here can pull it off is because, on him it's a cultural statement, not a cheesy hipster fashion statement. Love the tip man.
How to write a song; where to start, how to go about the different sections e.g. chorus, verse etc - I feel like this is a video that could help all musicians as well as guitarists :) Thanks for the great video, keep it up! :)
I like this idea, I could definitely do a video on this topic. The most important part of songwriting, is understanding songs. Study the hits, what makes those songs great, study songs in other genres. Analyze them like you would do a book for a book report. You'll hone your songwriters instinct and then you'll be able to trust your gut. Also just do it, don't wait for inspiration, songwriting is no different than guitar, you need to practice it to get better.
yes please samuraiguitarist do a video on songwriting. I understand what do you say about analyzing songs but it would be awesome to get some of basic theory, if you dont mind doing a video about that. I play in a cover-band to earn a few bucks but I would like to have a great songwriting 101. Cheers! P.S: Excuse my bad english, haha, its kinda rusty.
I dont know if im qualified to give you advice, but the best way for me is by building a chord progression for the chorus according to the feel you want, for example sad or happy or evil sounding. Then record the chord progression and just loop it infinite times, hum out the melody or play it on your instrument. You may want to build a really unique chord progression to prevent plagiarism
I watch Michael Vincent, a great magician, giving tips to aspiring magicians. I don't know why, as I'm no magician, but he's great and inspirational, warm, inviting, and extraordinarily talented, and really cares about the art of magic. Same here, I suppose. I'm no musician either.
The Filming Finn - I don't play music either, that doesn't mean I don't love good music. I have roadied for a band, dated musicians and made myself useful. In exchange for my help I have gotten in back stage at some epic events. I didn't make the music, I helped make the music possible. It never hurts to have some extra skills.
Honestly as a professional musician I’d rather work with someone with no experience who can follow some of these tips than an egotistical asshole with chops.
Not duct tape, gaffers tape. Duct tape leaves behind a nasty sticky residue that will, over time, gather dust, hair and lint. Gaffers tape removes clean. Gaffers tape is what you use to label items, attach picks to mike stands, secure cables against tripping, tape a set list to the side of a amp and oh so much more. It may cost more, but it's so worth it. It never hurts to have Duct tape for that thing you can't afford to fix, yet can't live without, like the seats of band van. For everything else duct tape is messy over kill.
What I would love to see covered - How to decide if you should remain independent or sign to a label How to identify a predatory label How to resolve issues with or between bandmates If you're the core/founding member of a band, how to make a decision without appearing like a dictator Digital distribution packages and how to tell what's best for you How to increase your productivity within a project without sacrificing time you would normally take to improve as a musician yourself (ie daily practice and such) Thumbs up if you agree with these topics so he sees them, cheers!
I don't know if this is a common tip or not, but if you run your cable over the top of where your strap connects to the guitar before plugging it in, it makes it nearly impossible to pull the cable out by stepping on it. Again, I have no idea if this is something everybody knows, but it's something my dad taught me ages ago.
the points about earplugs and balance are the most important as far as I'm concerned. Health (physical and mental) are just too important to not take seriously. Thanks Samurai!
Your last comment hit home for me. I left music school because it really did become a chore. There was so much time spent on music, even between classes, my classes ran back to back, and being a percussionist, there was so much extra time eaten up between set-ups and tear downs that it was hard fitting meals in. I love music more than anything, but music school started to take a toll on both my mental and physical health. I miss it, but I couldn’t handle the stress it put on me. When you say “balancing your life is important”, it really is. Sadly, I couldn’t make it work.
I've been playing for 10 years and always felt like a dill when i start unpacking at a gig an i have to straighten out all my improperly coiled cables! Thankyou!!
I first got into soccer (football) when I was visiting friends in Germany during the 2004 euro cup. I then went back during the 2006 world cup. All my initial soccer memories and celebrations were in Germany rooting for the German national team. Since Canada will never do anything on the soccer stage, I kind of adopted Germany as my favourite team
Haha during my studies in the States I hung out with Canadians but all they seemed to care about was ice hockey :D I appreciate that you're taking the time to answer questions, also thank you for this amazing channel. I'll start being a music teacher in Germany in May and you are an amazing inspiration - also some money will be coming in then and some of it will be transferred to your Patreon. All the best, sensei!
Sean Mertens soccer isn't totally unheard of here in America/Canada. My city just sent a proposal to Major League Soccer to have a team here in RaleighNC
Other items in gig kit: batteries, ground lift plug, extra mic clip, flashlight, copies of your song list, spray can electronics cleaner, big trash bags (to cover things if an outdoor gig) sharpie pen, towel and hand sanitizer. Something I used to carry was a pedal like box called a .22 Cal or .44 Cal power amp. I think made by Electro Harmonixs, not sure. But it was an actual power amp the size of a pedal and saved a few gigs for me. Thanks!
it took me 20 minutes to learn the cable wrapping technique, rewinding the video and feeling dumb haha thats a great tip, my cables will never twist anymore.
Wow ! Someone who can roll a lead properly _and_ play guitar !!! subscribed ! I played bass for years and only ever had a spare bass and a spare lead. When i started on guitar just on 5 years ago, the first thing I did was put a kit together of all the bits I might need. I also bolted a pedal board together and made a loom to go from the board to the various orifices in the amp. It cut my setup time in half. In my kit I have two pick containers. One with the ones I use, and one full of different ones, as there is always some douchebag who doesn't have any picks !
a small notebook and pens come in handy for quick notes about possible gigs, managers names, charting chords for yourself or someone else on a last minute setlist change... can't tell u how many times someone preshow runs around like a chicken with their head cut off and I become a hero because I have paper and pens (note I use the plural... people will steal your pen!). 😂
The task lists I use to tick stuff off before I leave for the gig and untick as I leave the gig. I've colour coded all my PA leads, and kind of colour coded my guitar rig leads. So it makes them easy to spot with everyone else stuff
You are great in packaging important messages in high quality videos. THANK YOU for your efforts teaching us this all Sensei. Greetings from the beating heart of the amazone where aspiring guitarists also enjoy you're lessons! All of these are useful, practical and it is pleasant learning in this form; more than about guitar- you also give subtle and direct life lessons.
Such good advice! Thanks man. Sometimes there can be a bit of ego or slightly patronizing tone in videos like these, and I love that your whole vibe is so free of those qualities. Looking forward to watching more!
Haha! I wonder who one would have to speak to once they reach Level 99 of an instrument to purchase the skillcape Also this video was a huge help. Big thanks to SamuraiGuitarist!
Dope t-shirt, man. Die Nationalmannschaft's green kit was one fine touch when they decided to bring it back. Also, amazing set of advices, thank you very much!
Nice video. I especially agree with pay-to-play scams, coiling your cables correctly and the gig kit. I snagged one of those Crate Powerblock heads (basically the smallest 150w head ever made) and keep it with me on the road at all times so if my rig ever fails, I can immediately hook up the powerblock and plug my rig into it's power section.
Hey Steve, thank you for this video. I've been stuck in a rut for about a year now and I've been trying to re-inspire my guitar playing and the last 2 points really helped me make progress. Definitely subscribing for more!
Excellent, spot-on advice all of which I've learned to be true over my 50 years of playing. Some of your points, like balance, took awhile to sink in, but you live - you learn, hopefully. Thanks for all your content here.
that last one really hit home - my ex/fiancee was a full time musician while i am p/t - and by the time she was done teaching during the day and gigging at night - when we'd get together to play - she'd typically cut it short - that was a drag for me especially when people/audiences/other musicians would be asking for more - tried to get her into yoga and tai chi …
Your videos are absolutely amazing! I've learnt so much from watching them, been playing 16 years now and in the space of watching your videos I've really improved a lot so thank you 👌😁
I learned most of these from live shows (sound guy). some from experience and some from others. but it's definitely great learning new stuff that I didn't know before. thanks man, I appreciate it!
Your channel is very very good! I recently started to do music as a full-time job and your videos have brought me a lot of inspiration and hope, thanks!! Keep up the good work : ) Btw, these sensei series are awesome!! Greetings from Finland.
Tips for a successful sound check for a band. You know, how to go about it, ideal way to get levels for different instruments adjusted, so that they all sound balanced, etc. Because I feel that my bandmates always have fights over who's louder than the other, and who's not audible. I'd love to have a way to avoid those fights. By the way, your Sensei series rocks.
I didn't discover just how important that life balancing thing was until the last two weeks. It has had a huge affect on my creative energy and how much I accomplish during the time I set aside for music. Engaging in other activities such as exercise and social outings throughout my week have helped immensely. It's rejuvenating. I had a habit of burning myself out on music when I wasn't at work or in class and this simple lifestyle change has kept that from happening sense. Thank you Sensei for affirming this.
you're the first youtuber I've ever seen that mentioned how to wrap a cable properly! every single wanker on youtube will show you how fast they can sweep pick, but you're a real musician. kudos from mexico :^)
Wow. It took me like about 3minutes to realize, that you are wearing the soccerjersey of "my" / the german national team. Gosh, you´re way of making videos is gripping! (And informative). Subscribed!
+samuraiguitarist when you said balance i was just like oh i know exactly what hes gonna say and it was too true man i playsed everyday for two and a half weeks and after that i just sat on my bed and looked at my guitar like ''i dont even want to touch you'. ive only recent seen your channel dude i gotta say i love it great content new sub earned dude
Hey man, this is my first time watching one of your videos. I'm a fairly experienced guitarist (5 or 6yrs) and was aware of these tips you mentioned but I just wanted to say good job! If only I would have learned these things early on in my musical journey I would have been much more prepared. I'm sure you'll help out many aspiring musicians!
These points are sometimes underrated, so thanks for this video, you've been really clear. A nice topic would be how a newbie should approach to starting playing guitar. Music is much about having a good ear, but a good practise may be necessary :)

The cable wrapping blew my mind.
I can't not do this, even with my garden hose - the habit was ingrained in my navy days. I use the twist and flip method, tho' I worked once with an former circus roustabout stagehand who did his in some weird kind of interpretive dance. I was also told not to do this by a sound guy I vastly respected, for taking up slack in live cables for incomprehensible reasons - but who was I to argue with a guy who worked for Springsteen.
One of the few guys today who can pull off a man bun.
asians have been rocking the man bun for a long time already haha
I don't think he's pulling it off just my opinion
He pulls it off in the episode where he shows how to make a hair band capo. :P
Wrong. No one can do man buns except women
Right?! Most men I see with a man bun, fille with the urge to cut it off at the scalp. Leaving a shiney bald spot where the stupid thing purched. (I don't act on this but, my brain had made a very entertaining cartoon it runs. Lol) I think the reson our man SG here can pull it off is because, on him it's a cultural statement, not a cheesy hipster fashion statement. Love the tip man.
Hard to not like this guy
0:58 It's knot a big deal
I heard it too 😂
no...no you didn't
Nathanael Hutchison I
for those who don't get the joke, he's got a samurai knot in his hair. it's a play on words. I didn't laugh at it, but I do understand the line.
i thought nathanael was referring to the knots in the cable...

ky99999999 try the I IV vi V chords :D
If you need to be told how to write a song and how to go about the different sections, then you're not meant to be a musician.
Why am i watching this? I play no instrument and i have no musical talent whatsoever. But this seems like quality content though.
Maybe some day you meet someone who CAN and DO the things you think you can't, then you can refer them to this channel and earn their gratitude.

Gig Kit = Duct tape.
Aww shit, I forgot my capo! *Duct tapes 3rd fret*
use the tape just a string around a pencil = equal pressure on all strings ;)
That's a rape kit. Jk
Not duct tape, gaffers tape. Duct tape leaves behind a nasty sticky residue that will, over time, gather dust, hair and lint. Gaffers tape removes clean.

I'm a puppeteer so it's clear tape for me and my puppet
What I would love to see covered -
How to decide if you should remain independent or sign to a label
How to identify a predatory label
How to resolve issues with or between bandmates
If you're the core/founding member of a band, how to make a decision without appearing like a dictator
Digital distribution packages and how to tell what's best for you
How to increase your productivity within a project without sacrificing time you would normally take to improve as a musician yourself (ie daily practice and such)
Thumbs up if you agree with these topics so he sees them, cheers!
SevenStringShredHead I can answer #3 and #4: shotgun...

Again, I have no idea if this is something everybody knows, but it's something my dad taught me ages ago.
It's always good sign to see.
Usually those guys have been on a stage before.
I think most people know it but its nice to see people that keep saying it so that more people will know about it
the points about earplugs and balance are the most important as far as I'm concerned. Health (physical and mental) are just too important to not take seriously.

As a German I gotta ask: why the jersey? :D

Quikdeth, I use my phone for that. Google Docs and it's on my PC when I get home.
Voice memos are handy but voice to text never works at a gig !

One of the most useful vids online. I love his no nonsense approach, it's so refreshing combined with the decent content! Big ups love the vids dude x
Good concept, good execution. You've earned yourself a subscribe.
recently discovered your channel. top notch stuff you got here. will be sharing your channel with all my music buddies. thanks for helping out!
Such good advice! Thanks man. Sometimes there can be a bit of ego or slightly patronizing tone in videos like these, and I love that your whole vibe is so free of those qualities. Looking forward to watching more!
This one video made me subscribe, such a calm and cool approach to all things music. Really dig it!
I'm a drummer and this helped me out
You got 99 drumming?
Haha! I wonder who one would have to speak to once they reach Level 99 of an instrument to purchase the skillcape
Also this video was a huge help. Big thanks to SamuraiGuitarist!
Aaron Nitro lol I'd love to see the 99 drumming emote.
Johnny Partain Me too, same goes for other instruments hehe
Dope t-shirt, man. Die Nationalmannschaft's green kit was one fine touch when they decided to bring it back.
Also, amazing set of advices, thank you very much!
Awesome video! Much valued information. Keep them coming!
dude, your channel is great. keep it up! some great advice there, and well presented. thanks.
The tip on coiling cables was the most useful for me, because it helped with my garden hoses.
You're sport loving Samurai guitarist, could it be better??
I don't know how do you feel about super religious people? The kind that believe in a higher power named Lemmy Kilmeister
Dude you're awesome bruh!
A really good video!! I love the relaxing and confident mood you share and I find your tips very accurate and useful. Thanks and have a good week!
Very wise and productive. Thank you for taking your time for such a video, you just earned yourself a subscriber!
Great post man. I'm so thankful for this channel!
Great video man! Helps a lot, many thanks, keep it up!
Really good tips, including some many have to learn the hard way. Good vid!
I've never related to a video on RUclips more. You speak my mind. kudos, bro.
Love and agree with everything you said. Will be watching you in the future!!
Nice video. I especially agree with pay-to-play scams, coiling your cables correctly and the gig kit.

Thank you SENSEI, this was some good advice, I rewrapped all of my cables and now I hate myself less
You know what they say, "neatly wrapped cables are next to godliness"
im reaaally interested in this channel now, this is so cool and seems really helpful
That last point made a lot of sense, and actually helped me. Thank you, Sensei!
Excellent, spot-on advice all of which I've learned to be true over my 50 years of playing. Some of your points, like balance, took awhile to sink in, but you live - you learn, hopefully. Thanks for all your content here.
Nice one, Sensei. I particularly like the tip about life balance. Very useful view.
Great video, very to the point and applicable at least in my life,if not every ones. So thanks for the good advice.
Love your videos. Your tips are really valuable. Would love to see videos on home recording and how to make a music video :)
Fantastic vid, fantastic advice! Instant subscription!
Awesome stuff. Thanks for the tips, Sensei.
I love how you take topics which you dont see anywhere else, thank you so much!
Thank you! My theory is there are a lot of videos on "getting started on music theory" etc. so I want to cover the less obvious topics
Really glad I found your channel man. Great content 👍
Solid content as always, but what really stuck out to me is that your lighting looks much better than previously. Good job.
Thank you, this was just what I needed to hear. Great lessons as always!
Dropping Knowledge! Thank you, Subscribed!

Great tips! Love this no-nonsense professional vlog. Domou
Your videos are absolutely amazing! I've learnt so much from watching them, been playing 16 years now and in the space of watching your videos I've really improved a lot so thank you 👌😁
Completely agree with you, thanks for sharing, I enjoy your videos.
That's really good advice. Thank you! Subscribed.
I learned most of these from live shows (sound guy). some from experience and some from others. but it's definitely great learning new stuff that I didn't know before. thanks man, I appreciate it!
Awesome Video! Could not agree more with everything you said.
Thanks for those tips Samurai guitarrist! That was veeery good.
I've really taken a liking to your videos, I've learned quite a lot of useful stuff from this series. Thanks sensei!
It's nice you are giving us all these tips, it would actually nice if there were any people playing bass or drums in my town
That was actually a pretty good video. Good job. I liked it!
I love your videos man. Great stuff! 👌
great video.thank you for the helpful hints
Really good tips thank you for this man!
Good info, great presentation, all 100% truth, great job!!!!!
GREAT video man, keep up the good work :D
Easily the most useful channel for music stuffs, nice one. :)
Amen to #6 though. Kick ass and be modest - that's how you earn respect.
love your videos. learned a lot from them. it would be great, if you do a video about the connection between breathing and playing guitar.
Wise advices my friend. Thank you a lot!
Your channel is very very good! I recently started to do music as a full-time job and your videos have brought me a lot of inspiration and hope, thanks!! Keep up the good work : ) Btw, these sensei series are awesome!! Greetings from Finland.

Damn dude.. I'm a sound guy and guitarist, but your solution to the over-under endless loop problem just blew me away ha. Good shit man.
I love everything you said bro...im glad that i subscribed...you keep inspiring me always..Thanks bro..
Dammmm. My friend Ray Clover taught me the cable"Roadie-wrap . . .Best thing I ever learned!

hey thanks for the vid, great advice!! Rock on!!
first time i see one of your videos. And i must say it's great! Cheers from brazil
You are really good, thank you .. I most liked the advise on balancing your hours ..
proper cable technique is so important.
you're the first youtuber I've ever seen that mentioned how to wrap a cable properly! every single wanker on youtube will show you how fast they can sweep pick, but you're a real musician. kudos from mexico :^)
Wow. It took me like about 3minutes to realize, that you are wearing the soccerjersey of "my" / the german national team.
Gosh, you´re way of making videos is gripping! (And informative). Subscribed!
+samuraiguitarist
when you said balance i was just like oh i know exactly what hes gonna say
and it was too true man
i playsed everyday for two and a half weeks and after that i just sat on my bed and looked at my guitar like ''i dont even want to touch you'.
ive only recent seen your channel dude i gotta say i love it great content
new sub earned dude
I really enjoyed this video first time seeing your channel will subscribe now.
This is great! Very good content!
Particularly like the last one. Great video!
Thank you for this, the info was all very useful
A wholesome video!! Enjoyed it immensely...😊👌
This was very instructive. I'm just a home hobbyist, but I can imagine that many aspiring working musicians will find this helpful. Great advice.
Bow to your sensei. BOW TO YOUR SENSEI! Now grab my arm. Other arm. MY OTHER ARM. Alright now I'm just gonna break the wrist and walk away...
Klyde Marmasett napoleon dynamite?
Klyde Marmasett love that movie!

Old but gold man. My counterpart to your sports stuff is cubing and electronics. So yeah, I pick and solve, also I solder and lube.
Samurai Guitarist- Just found your channel today and you are awesome.
Hey man, this is my first time watching one of your videos. I'm a fairly experienced guitarist (5 or 6yrs) and was aware of these tips you mentioned but I just wanted to say good job! If only I would have learned these things early on in my musical journey I would have been much more prepared. I'm sure you'll help out many aspiring musicians!
These points are sometimes underrated, so thanks for this video, you've been really clear. A nice topic would be how a newbie should approach to starting playing guitar. Music is much about having a good ear, but a good practise may be necessary :)
