Congratulations on your success and giving people a view into the world of busking. I'v busked in the rain and in the snow. people will give you more money if you can endure the elements.Best tip I ever received wasn't cash. It was playing for a girl I met at Union station. At the end of the song she proceeded to tell me that she came to Toronto today for a brain scan to see if she had a tumor or not. She said the entire day was filled with anxiety and Dred but for the few minutes I played she was relieved of all her worries. It was in that moment I realised I had been given a great gift that I can share with the world. They say music is the best medicine and on that day it surely was. I wish you the best on all your future busking adventures and thanks again for sharing this video with everyone:) cheers mate

Music is the biggest gift we guitarists can give.
For all the rain, I think a beach umbrella would be a sound investment
Yeah, you're right, I've seen few buskers with a beach umbrella! Thanks 🙂
...and a tarp. Ofc the amp and cables are on the floor 👍
Great comment
I enjoyed this video. I'm a huge fan of building music careers via busking. I first became fascinated with busking by watching a guy supporting his family through busking. He found a store that did not chase him away and he would sit near the front of the store and sing. He said he did this every day, during the day and would make about $150 each day. There is more to his method of course, but it was a low tech approach and it worked for him. Oh, he also would periodically remove the donations from his guitar case because people would not give to some that was 'too successful'.
This is a lovely story 😄
My wife took my daughter to Coney Island (Brooklyn NY) to play her guitar and sing. Anyway, she made $140 in two hours. The only downside is that NYC wants you to buy a permit for $45.00/day. Cops walked up to my wife and told her she had to leave. My daughter is only 13 and this rich city feels the need to extract $45 from her earnings. There should be some exceptions for kids on summer vacation, greedy city. Anyway, looks like you are having fun and making $$$$$ good luck!
Hey! Thanks for sharing this. I've never been in New York, but it looks like very expensive. Yeah in some cities there is a fee to pay to busk on the street, but this is the first time that I hear about paying a fee every day! This looks like they try to limit any kind of street art....?
Street performing here in the U.S is a form of free speech. You're allowed to play in any public space without a fee or permit
@@jerrythe1manband certain places you do need a permit to busk but some places you dont like in new york city there is loads of buskers im pretty sure not everyone has a permit
Sadly lot of cities are like that. here in Fabulous Las Vegas they do a regestration system and run a lottery to who get the spots available but that is just in the old part of Las Vegas aka Downtown las Vegas. On the "StriP" they do not have that. They do not charge to busk. but there is a few rules of course and the unwritten code of the busker.
Bet they don't shake down the street vendors selling fentanyl laced crack and heroin for part of their profits or maybe they do behind the scenes and shut down the competition of those who pay.
Made $260 in 2 hours downtown San Juan Puerto Rico. I've made much less many times, however...never made zero and never had anything but a great time
@Wong Washer wicked games, creep and a song I make up about Puerto Rico. On repeat

I know what you mean about the air-con! Great video man. Makes me miss busking!
new to your channel. busking is fun.
i paid for repairs on my jeep with busking money.
keep it up Tito,you sound great.
Dude you the reason why I’d bought the speaker that u using and its really really worth it bro ,..❤
Really inspiring! You know, I think I'm going to do this because of you...
You let nothing stop you like the rain. When the rain came and go, came and go, you still managed to accomplish your goal. I like people who don't let anything stop them from accomplishing their goal. You are special, Tito, and you have a great voice, also. I'm also a big fan of music.
💛 Ashton Jackson.

Amazing video for new buskers, thank you for your honesty and time you put into this video!
Hey thanks man! This is really important for me. Thanks!
Awesome vid. Thanks.
Good sound and pictures. I once used busking as a means of advertising products and services on the street - this was before karaoke but I made up my own backing tracks and played live guitar and vocals and did live advertising jingles (which I wrote), with leaflets plus various popular songs . I had a permit from the performing rights society. This was in 1984. I charged my clients £9.00 an hour plus expenses. People as well as taking my leaflets etc also gave me money and drinks and offered illicit substances. I used a mouth organ holder to hold the mike so I was mobile to give leaflets and interact with the crowd. I had an electric guitar with pedals. I was also willing to dress up in costumes relevant to the product. The most memorable was dressed as Jack Frost advertising Christmas trees for a garden centre. :) I too was not a traditional busker.
What a cool story!
Thank you for this. I'm hoping to become a busker.
good info I appreciate my friend.
Such a good video thank you!
I'm glad you like it 🙏🙂
Thanks bro, I'm glad to see I'm making the same money playing with my originals only. Except in Galway which is the most difficult place for me
LOL
Best regards
how don't you get more subscribers, you have high quality videos, I love them
Hey thank you so much! I suppose it's just a matter of time 🤔🤔

Thank you so much 🙏🙂
Good job kid....all your reasoning i agree with!!

Busked last night....2..singles...1..ten...2...twenties!!...do you ever notice,when theres a good energy in the air,and people start coming and tipping you,..and other times your beat??...i would love to make a living busking and just be independent already.....i still live with mum😥😁.... Keep up the good work you got my support here in the U.S.A!!!
I just went busking for my first time all acoustic no amps. I made 40 dollars in 3 hours!!! It was really fun and met some nice people and heard some cool stories. There this town near me with a really nice downtown area and it was a really good spot. Cut my finger up quite a bit and there was blood all near the soundhole. Not the best weather but I just couldn't wait, it was about 35 degrees. Can't wait to try it in nice weather!!!
Well done man. Probably a bit cold for the fingers, it's normal! Good luck and keep it up! 🔥
I really liked hearing your opinion at the end of the video
Thanks for listening 🙏
Thanks for this video, I do gigs at restaurants but I always wanted to try to busk on the street but I think I need to get a permit before I can start busking.
Playing the streets is all about the songs and the music you play, 15 yrs. ago was the first time I busked (2 hrs.) I made over $400 in tips, plus the $100 bet I won from co-workers daring me to do it down in Daytona Beach, Fla. Back then out of curiosity I kept up with the popularity #1 was the Allman Bros., # 2 was Lynyrd Skynyrd, # 3 Johnny Cash, #4 Charlie Daniels, guess what ? the rankings are still the same. LOL
Awesome, bro! I studied economics, and then i taught English for 3 years. And I learned Java,python,html/css and did a machine learning course. Now, i want to learn to play the Guitar and sing 😅😅😅 good luck bro. You inspired me!
goodluck 2 u and good vibes only )
You sing beautifully. I don't so will see how it goes one day hahah
What this guy deserves much more of a following
thanks man! appreciate that, stay safe! cheers from Galway! 🙂
More sunshine !!

Bro, which country are you from? Your music is great!
Originally from Peru! South American
I busk 2days, sometimes 3, Friday, Saturday and sometimes Sunday, do Max 3hs each day. For 3 days, I usually take home $500-1000.

Wow really?
Hey man which city are you busking in?
Where?
Dolars?
@8:50 it's a hand pan drum. Nice vlog dude.
Thank you!
Dude Amazing Voice.
Thanks!!
How's life treating ya? Been a while. I've been busy with college work lately. I never had time to get some free time.
nice man, congratulation, where are you from?
Peru my friend!
Wow that is a great voice. Do some originals!! You got it man
Thank you 🤩!
you improved in singing each day
Awesome man! Why do you refer to songs as the "forbidden" songs? are there any copyright problems? Also, great video editing, really awesome, you are gonna blow up soon =D Also, is that a Roland Street Cube XL?
Well, there are some songs that if you play them often in one set, you can make a lot of money....but it's not fair and other Buskers may say something to you. I like to make videos! Yes! That's my amp and it's good! I will make a review for the CUBE! thanks man, you're always welcome here! 🙌
@@titolarios Cool man, thanks :D So how do you capture this footage and the sound, is it all from the camera on a stand?
@@MADKOALA Hi mad koala! sorry for the delay: so, yes the video is from my camera on a tripod. I just added the link to amazon for the microphone that I use on my camera. It is a Rode microphone. It is the cheapest shotgun microphone by Rode I think. So for it has bee good for me, and I don't feel to upgrade!
It's been a while! Still think you're cool!
Hey there! Thank you so much! 😊 Have a great day!
Pasa los titulos de las canciones amigo. Animo😊😊😊
New friend is here serenading you., God bless
hermano exitos!
Gracias Oscar! Saludos
Have you thought about an experiment to see how much you make when you sing in english, compared with how much you make when you sing in portuguese? (only a guess that you are from brazil). I know i'd be so interested to hear music from where you're from, if I was passing by.
greetings from bodrum turkey
Thanks a million man! Cheers from Ireland.
Are u a full time busker? Im a busker too but Started only two months ago haha. So im new to it. There are Always some nice people to give me some.great Feedback but also many people who just walk by and dont notice that someone is singing. I think i still take it too personally. Could u give me advice?❤🎉
Amazing! I'm looking to busk a little more often myself as a 16 year old musician, and this really made me realise that there is no excuse for not starting right now! Oh and by the way, that F#m you played at 10:40 could have worked out really well if you played F#m - E and then back to A. Sometimes you've just got to accept your mistake and turn it into something beautiful :)
Why don't you sing hard days's night from Beatles? )
thank you
I started busking 2 days ago and put videos of me busking on my channel here.
Hello guys! Let me know here below if you wan to see more vlog-busking videos and if you find this entertaining. Thanks!
Yeas!
respect.
Me and my band are planning to busk while traveling europe but we don't have license. Do you guys know which countries or cities we can play without a license? How can i search if they allow me to busk in the city?
Great attitude dude.. Some people are comfatable with street tittle.. Dont be
Can I ask you what kind of 🎤 mic are you using and what , speaker you have ? Please tell me
shure sm58 with Roland street cube EX
i really wanna try lol
That's the trouble with busking, it all depends on the weather. I also found that very annoying.
Basically if you work in malaysia in you can make roughly 14.5 until 18 euro in a day. Dang ! far different when 1 hour same to 12 hours pay here. I understand by economically the cost of living in your place definitely higer :D
salam buskers 1Malaysia haha
Galway has 92837 buskers per square meter.
The competition is severe there.
I bet you'd make more in almost any other city.
I’m wondering if people only put money in for mainstream poppy music
If you like to play you don't need a label.. I play for fun and if I had to make money doing it I might not enjoy it as much! You are having fun.. enjoy!
Mahalo brthr
Nice
Thanks! :)
Are there certain things that you can’t do while busking? Because I’m gonna go this weekend but I don’t know if I should have a permit or if I’m allowed to use a backing track
that depends where you go to busk. I know the rules for Galway!
12:40 That scared the shit out of me
ahah i'm sorry for that!
Only thing about busking is you cant do it 8 hrs a day ... or maybe some do. That would be the real buskers. But for the average person, you would busk for a few hours and then go home or do something else. So if you average $20 euro or $20 AUD where I am, per hour then it isn't big money and you would still need a job so you wouldn't want to leave your job for a life on the road... the road just down the street from your house.
Unless it is just for the pleasure of playing music for others which you can do on weekends or after work but as soon as you swap your job for busking then busking becomes your job and it will feel like a job after a while and then you will remember how you didn't have to grind you just went to work and earned a days pay for a days work.
Even the best job in the world feels like a job after a while.
Get yourself a portable shelter. Good town councils should make shelters in suitable designated locations for buskers to promote a good vibe community. Or at least have stations where you can go and put a deposit down for a shelter and get your money back when you return the shelter. The only issue is securing it properly that a wind doesn't send it flying into people etc. So if they fix tie down locations where portable shelters can be set up.
I think a portable buskers membership association may be an idea to give unity and a voice to buskers and a meeting place for them to meet great and unite to suggest together ideas to citys and towns councils these needs. Buskers do make a shopping enviroment and experience much better. Weather its tricks, Clowns, Musicians poets or comedian's or otherwise.
The kids love the live entertainment and it brings life to the otherwise rat race of everybody being in auto pilot and channeled that a busker can instantly snap them out of that auto mode.
A global buskers association member can get info on the best busker friendly towns and hostels etc. Places to eat cheaply, places to set up and be able to get their voices heard by an advocate in each city or major town about their ideas to improve the experience for all buskers and shoppers. Maybe there are already online groups and forums that cover these things i don't know but if not there needs to be. Busker association members should also get benefits like accomidation discounts or meal discounts etc by anyone who wishes to support the association and registered members. Another idea is try inside malls or under cover train stations or similar under cover areas. Try to get yourself inside a cafe or pub or beer garden.
People are more likely to stay and drink and eat more with live entertainment available.
I busk because I love it. Getting paid is second.
there is something in your eyes that tells me you had a very troubled past, Tito, or some health issues. But great video.
where is that country bro?
I busked in Galway in 2016 with native American flute....lots of buskers, too many , I was staying in a hostel
We are many here! Hope you had a great time! 😁
@@titolarios yes are you still there? Is a lovely place to live , the best in Europe I think
You're as proper as it comes. Young, attractive, good voice, "sexy" accent (at least to Amercans, as opposed to say an Indian or Swedish accent lol) amplified, and got a doggie. I'm really surprised you only made 12 euros in an hour - I've done better playing shitty trumpet.
Thanks for your comment Alex. The problem is that with the weather in Galway sometimes it can be very tough to busk... And I also hope to get better with the interaction with the people. I like to sing but I don't talk that much during my sets. Many buskers they talk to the people and sometimes I see huge crowds around them. I just need some time to get that confidence I think!
Did you say Dublin charges 90 or 19 Euros? You would have to be busking a lot to just make up the 90 that's for sure. I hope for your sake it was 19 only...ol
Do what you love I say
Thanks Dia! Cheers
You’re a great player, would love to see you do this experiment looking a little rough and playing on the street without any sound system
Bad idea. I like the fact that he’s not looking like a homeless person to make people feel sorry for him. Instead he’s a clean guy that has a passion for his music and people support his m because they like his music 🎶 not feel sorry for him…
Hi, What country are you at?
Ireland!
Why not do busking 8hours daily instead of working for someone else? $175 euros 💶 is great 👍 for 8 hours daily
👍👍👍👍👍
In Ireland, is it possible to busk through cover songs? Do you need to pay royalty fees or ask for their permission?
You can play cover songs with no problem 👍🏼
Mann.if you making money like that,you are doing good,I'd be happy with $10.00 if I made just that🤣🤣🥰🤣🥰
*Just Imagine Being A Street Performer In Japan. It’s So Populated, So You Can Make Big CA$H🤑*
With my experiance you make less in places that are too busy. You have to be louder in those places. If you cant, you should use a speaker. Sometimes in busy places people are too busy;D but if you can pull them out of their busy heads you can do it and make big moneyz.
How much someone tell me i cant watch whole video
Ahah I will have to add chapters to this video 😅
How often do U Busk in a week normaly? 😇
I try to busk 3 times a week! Most of the time depends on the weather too… 😄
@@titolarios great! I also busk in Germany and wanna Go to the UK soon in october. Can I do it with the AMP so far and how is it to Busk in the autumn in the UK? 😇😇

@@titolarios how do U handle those Situations:
Those days when people Just Walk by and ignore U.
Of course they also give Money but then Sometimes Walk away and in some Moments I take it too Personal and it Hurts.
Other days are of course very well.
Could u give me a Tip? 🥺
Nice one . Telling them how much you get takes half your hat before you get it as you make that much and dont require the finance to get by . Theyll give it to the sad junky fuxation on you because you told them 3:58
Busk in eves when people are drinking after work
They are looser with their money
Some days you make loads others you make fuck all
Every day is different! 👌🏼
Good guitar, average vocals
And I'm sure you sing like Pavarotti, hater?
