Imagine that situation. You have made a living by being a musician but now due to bad economic times you can't find jobs & the only way to bail your self out of the hole is to grab your guitar go on the street and play So what would you play? lets put some ideas together.

I didn't do any trad irish songs, because even if the Americans love hearing them the exchange rate is tough for them so they don't throw money just stay and listen, I did a mix of folk, country and acoustic rock stuff, surprisingly mostly unknown songs. Play songs that you think the people with money to spare will like, rather than what you like, the girls you think are hot will like etc You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I would suggest probably just doing impro rather than a song, but doing some funk slap techniques with tight rhythm. People love something which is multiple leveled and looks impressive to watch. For acoustic guitar, tapping the body and slapping seems to draw the biggest crowd, takes a bit to learn thou, but then just loop it adding bits and pieces every now and then to change it up.

I agree man I never tried it but, I am sure that it's just like on youtube - a good video gets a lot of views - a good street performer gets a lot of attention and maybe more money than other street performers.
