You guys still in Anaheim? I live up the road in Fullerton -:home of Fender guitars. You be interested in meet up for drinks? Maybe take in the Fender museum
you don't exactly come off as likeable in this video. also what's with that weird disrespect towards the saleswoman at Donner, first telling her she has a "boys name" and than that bullshit with the handshake, icky behavior
I mean he did ask because it was uncommon and inquired about her actual given name afterwards. Also in traditional North American fashion, a firm handshake is seen as standard “business acumen.” Also he’s playing up a character that he portrays online.
I'm not gonna comment on the name thing but in Asian cultures, a weak handshake is preferred (as if saying 'let me serve you') but in Western ones, a firmer one is more respected. Cultural differences right? Him pointing it out would help her in the long term There's a channel called SOC 119 that is just university lectures and this stuff is fascinating
They were laughing by the time they had to go and she tried to sell to his friend. You don’t know this side of business and being a creator and having a brand. Why am I even replying to more comments lol
It’s so weird watching people not know how business works and proceed to cry 😭 wait til you grow up and have your own brand lol. You can dance around asking or just tell them straight up what you want and what you plan to do lol
It literally is. They only need to sell 2 guitars to make their money back, profit margins are over 50%. Putting your guitar in the right hands IS the business of guitar building
Yes for advertisement. It’s how you get brand deals. Brandon helped me so much with learning guitar with just his RUclips videos and these comments are so immature

@@narlofd5859 except I was sarcastic there is nothing wrong with Brandon or video
12:45 It was very nice to meet with Brandon at NAMM! Jimmy is a cool name, I’m cool with Brandon and the video is cool as well! Please enjoy it!🙏🏻 (BTW, Donner released HUSH X PRO at NAMM2025. A 7 models in 1 guitar. It is an upgrade version of HUSH X guitar which mentioned in the video. Please check it via our official website if you’re interested in it.🔥)
6.6k viewa in 12 hours. Not a good look, but it serves you. The whole video i couldn't help but think how disrespectful you were to everyone. Only when it's yamaha you show an ounce of it. If this was meant to be funny or whatever, you really missed the mark. The worst had to have been with Donner. You were genuinely creepy with the lady and treated her like a dog. You lost a fan and subscriber.
Bros crying on RUclips and thinks the videos a bad look? Get a hold of yourself bruh. He’s making business deals and it’s not pretty but he got some deals done and gqve a fan a free guitar.
@@narlofd5859 bro what you on? 😂 The fool made 0 deals and just pissed off everyone. The giveaway was a total failure and the guy he gave the guitar to didn’t even know who he was.
@ I mean he got some free guitars and he was pitching that he has a RUclips channel and that he can bring them exposure. Didn’t he get a free guitar and end up giving it to a fan all in one video? You’re just tryna argue, I hope you have a good day today dude
But his skills and how he handled the deals is what got him some free stuff. You’re too invested to the wrong thing. Go time yourself playing instead loser
i thought this guy was gonna just prank ppl and ask as a joke, but watching him bringing up his influence to try and pressure them to giving a guitar is pretty gross. The friends also trying to figure out the best strategy was pretty fkn weird, too
Usually i love your content, i can get past your fake rudeness but this was sincerely a hard watch. Ill stay subscribed for your guitar insights, music theory and love for the art but. It's very cocky and low key shitty to say "their loss" for not wanting to give you a free instrument.
@@narlofd5859 Dude, your desperate attempts at defending this dude is cracking me up. You keep kissing his butt like "b-but this is all a business!!" Then explain 24:52, sherlock
@ lmao how about the conversation behind that time stamp, weren’t they talking about him giving away guitars unlike the people that didn’t give him one? But I mean context isn’t important or maybe I’m manipulating. What will RUclips comments say next? lol but it’s not that deep, it literally is business and there are people out there who will talk behind your back. But honestly my main point is that the mass hate for such a harmless video is so weird lol. Like people are pulling receipts, why lol I am butt kissing ig but I don’t mean to, it’s hard not to when I don’t usually go on this RUclips channel to hate and instead maybe learn something new or to put a guitar video while I’m warming up lol
@@narlofd5859 Then explain all the unnecessary swearing behind the scenes. Call it *his* humor, but it's edgy and irritating. To be frank, I used to look up to this guy 4-5 years ago, but I guess this was just an unfortunate time revisiting his channel lol
Lmao you don’t even know what you’re talking about. In sales this is the exact same thing as door to door sales and the fact he got some deals done with the way he asked is honestly really impressive. But you gotta be 8, i don’t expect you to know. I mean “no aura, hate to say” 😂😂
I think you may have had more luck if you had started by explaining your offer to promote the company, and then asking for a free guitar. Rather thab just immediately asking, "Can i have one?"
10:35 the fact that hes actually confused why people wont fork over their business for a 12k view video is insane. using fame for free crap isnt the way to go buddy 😞
Just want to give Donner some props. I ordered a pedal and it went missing during shipment. Their customer service stayed on it until the problem was fixed. Plus affordable and quality product.
@@didamnesia3575 l am talking about Brendon asking for a guitar.l think when a person is asking to get for free what actually is for sale is genuinely asking and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Yea if im a brand the cussing is a issue. Maybe chill out be a little less pushy. Tell them about your channel or have a card you give out with your channel and subcount. The handshake thing was weird, women dont shake hands like men. She has problably done more business than you have to be fair. I would of used this as an opportunity to introduce yourself and your channel, not be known as the dude asking for free stuff.
Let’s see how much free stuff my followers gets me, sorry dude this is kind of trashy. Especially saying their loss… uhm yes it is absolutely their loss.
honestly i love this dudes video but this just pissed me off, the fact he was pushy and disrespectful, especially to the donner lady, laughing when she said she had already emailed him, saying “oh you have a boys name” and saying “you have a weak handshake”. Even though he is still getting a free guitar from them, and how pushy he was “oh well why are you at NAMM?”
Having worked (as a volunteer) yeah, a lot of people manning booths are super cautious around people asking for free (expensive) stuff. It's hard to verify you are who you say without some expertise. If the event offered some kind of distinguishing ID that might be beneficial to getting free stuff (for promotion of course)
This was not it man, and I see a lot of defensive comments pointing out that a lot of the more awkward interactions ended in smiles and laughing and so therefore it’s fine- That’s just them being uncomfortable man. Not only are they in public, but they’re being filmed and represent a brand so obviously they’re not going to be hostile or react any other way, it’s literally their job to just laugh and shrug it off when put in uncomfortable interactions like this Obviously this was INTENDED to be all in good fun but I mean if this ever really does hit 100k views eventually, it’s not going to be for the reason intended, just overall a bad look man
Yeah... that was hard to watch... this is not a good look for you at all. Everything about this was atrocious. You better hope any of these brands *don't* see this because it will only make them stay farther away; like saying 'f-you' @24:53, even if in jest, is not the way to achieve your goal here. This whole video is a absolute train wreck... unless your goal was to come across as a self-aggrandizing, cocky douche-bag, then you hit the nail on the head.
The trick to being a good “salesman” is being their representative.If you approach potential customers with the mindset that youre here to help them find the best option for them, youll get alot more sales. Dont tell them why your product is the best right away, ask them what they want. Then find the product you have that best suits their preferences and pitch it with excitement. If you feel like a salesman, youll come off like one. Hope this helps someone, god bless
Throughout the video I was wondering if Brandon came drunk to this convention because his attitude is so weird and not anything like he is in other vids.
Love the video but a couple of things: Mono the lav mic audio and put "NAMM 2025" somewhere in the title so you can farm the engagement from people seeking out NAMM content right now. Best of luck brother

“Harassing minimum wage workers at a convention”
They’re not minimum wage workers. Most, if not all of the workers representing brands in this video are salespeople who work in an office.
Not the workers ! The people who own most of these companies have the money and need the exposure ! Go to business school !
They are not the guys who works at your local wallmart
@@annaschofield5131then this is very bad exposure because of the way the video is seen as, go to business school

nah man, that's not it
You really don’t come across as polite here. The way you interacted with the lady from Donner was hard to watch.

Edit: I actually had one of those Donner silent guitars, the piezo was kinda loud
Glad to say I purchased 2 enya guitars I love supporting good brands that care about their buyers
Love the video but a couple of things: Mono the lav mic audio and put "NAMM 2025" somewhere in the title so you can farm the engagement from people seeking out NAMM content right now. Best of luck brother
Maybe farming engagement from new viewers is not the best play right now.
Yeah...new viewers on this one would not be giving a good first impression 😬
very rude for no reason sometimes
