    I am a guitarist, and I can only imagine what it's like to play out there breathing exhaust fumes with a broken guitar. He may not have the best equipment or top-notch technique but he certainly has heart. My respects go to Danny and the keeper(s) of this channel. All lives matter.

      Hes pretty good at playing too, and to me it sounds like he has a bit of Jimi Hendrixs' playing style inside of his

      I don't think it's wrong of aminor to share his opinion or that his opinion is different than yours. This dude is holding it down on a corner busking for change. Nothing wrong with that at all, but let's not turn him into a hero. You guys should toughen up a little bit. If you can't handle a dissenting opinion maybe your opinion isn't as strong as you originally thought.

      The are diversifying into the fresh water business!
      Jo-Shing Yang, the environmental consultant dedicated to investigating the Wall Street megabanks’ efforts to buy up global water resources, has turned his attention to the nepotistic Bush family dynasty, whose purchases of 121,407 hectares of land just happen to be located on part of the Guarani Aquifer System. The groundwater reservoir is the largest [renewable freshwater] resource in the world, with an expanse of more than 1.2 million square kilometers and a volume of 40,000 cubic kilometers of water.

      Who was it said that we would be fighting wars over drinking water and *NOT* oil by 2030 !?!?
      Didn't that come from John Titor, the guy who claimed to be a time traveler about 15 years back ...

      fireflame608 Totally right about that. Every time I bring my Les Paul jr. my local music shop, everyone thinks I have a relic, even though it has a thin, cosmetic crack line near the headstock joint(covered with a single strip of duct tape). The funny part is this guitar alone is in the $750 range, yet I bought it secondhand from some seller on ebay for $500, and the best part is these kids want to buy it off of me because of the gibson name and the trashy look...

      +soska08 Mike was a friend of mine.
      I used to go and sit in his little trailer to talk with him and listen to what he had to say for hours at a time.
      One day I took him shopping at 2nd hand stores and bought him a nice suit jacket, dress pants, dress shoes, nice shirt, new hat and walking stick. That evening he got all dressed up and I took him to the Hard Rock .
      People thought he was Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top and kept stopping him for pictures and autographs while asking where they were playing at.
      There is a HUGE picture of ZZ Top in concert on a hallway wall on the way to the card room in the rear and I took a picture of him standing in front if it and he really did look like Billy Gibbons that evening!
      Thank You for the memory of a special friend !

    I spent 3 years living on the street, in shelters, and on a couch I could find when I could.
    I finally got my disability. Life was hard ! I lived in pain with all I owned on my back. Some people think that if you are on a corner with a cup you are just a drunk or addict....Well, some are, but some just get lost in the cracks,,,,I was in a crack, and God came to save me, but it took three years, and they were HARD !
    I have played guitar all my life, and I think that man in Tampa is a hero...not so much that he plays guitar, but that he still has the will to try and make an honest living. If he drinks it away, well that's his business ! Tho shalt not judge. I would be proud to pick with him, and if somebody knows that man, or the man who took notice, please have one of them contact me. my you tube vids are by the name getpicker. Please leave info there.

      +StraightOutGaming No. Its Manufactured by Fender, who makes the traditional Stratocaster and Telecasters, along with the squires.

      @DriFD3S Před 8 lety

      +MrKrayzeeKrysis I won't disagree with you about the never ending quest for tone... but we're talking about a "pawn shop special guitar" plugged in to a practice amp, connected by the cheapest wire money can buy. This guy is probably making the best out of what he's got, but by no means is it a good or ideal tone. I mean really, really listen to it... his hands aren't magical.

      well, at least he did something interesting with his life dancing.

      I wish it was a joke.
      This was at Boba around 2013/2014. He came in with a tattered shirt and did his dancing thing while some teens were playing on-stage. He eventually sat outside with other performers. I tried to ask him questions (knowing I might not a chance later) about his musical preferences. He hated hard rock music, but was into rap music and country music and wouldn't Christian versions. He was so extraverted that it wasn't a given whether or not he could hold an entire conversation without going to someone else or getting up to dance. He even let me listen through his earphone to what he was singing along to. Whenever he was dancing, I knew that he was really dancing to music nobody else was listening to nor did he acknowledge nobody else was hearing it. looking back, it's hilarious.

      +EnderGamer57 You're clearly misinformed. Vox makes a lot of great amps that are pretty well respected in the guitar community. I would strongly disagree that most amps are better than Vox. Also, did you really say fender amps are the only amps worse than Vox? Fender makes some of the greatest amps on the market. Just because you played through a couple of $50 combo amps doesn't make the entire company bad. You should really do a little more research before spreading misinformation.
