    I'd add to this: Depending on your situation, turn down sessions with known a-holes or people you know you won't work well with. Certain personalities just don't belong together in a work situation. Avoid negative issues when you can.

      Side note... I had a guitar player that was horrified by my love of pedals. Naturally, I put as many on as I could fit whether I used them or not just to catch him standing over it scowling lol. He referred to my pedal board as "the abomination" haha.

    My brother learned it the hard way but people in the industry remember if you are a prick. He is a professional musician but it was a tough road for him because he had an inflated ego. He expected to show up to Nashville or LA and play what he wanted (guitarist and engineer) and 10 years later he was struggling to find gigs and was doing what he least wanted to do which was play for Christian ensemble singing records ... He eventually choked his humble pie down and is finally getting session opportunities with people he wants to play for. His ego was unfortunately inflated because he had toured with a well known pop act and thought that was his meal ticket to employment but then he realized he had to stand in line with the other 1,000 plus players looking for the same gigs in that city.

    Why is no. 1 a "tip"? I always thought of this as fairly obvious and a no-brainer... Those who use loose pedals are usually those who use at most 2 pedals which changes at every or every other gig.
