Yves Passarell , guitarist for VIPER and Capital Inicial , offered advice to new musicians during the 86th edition of The Wikimetal Happy Hour.

Wikimetal co-founder Nando Machado , the guitarist was asked what advice he would give to a beginner. “It’s almost impossible [to give advice], because if I gave advice from my time, it wouldn’t work today. But go out there and play anywhere. You’ll need to play, you’ll need to get back to life and play when everything goes back to normal,” he said.

Yves reiterated, “Perseverance. Like, when everything comes back, then it will! Release something, have that will, because sometimes the band hasn't even started and it's already over.” He continued, saying that it's necessary to develop a thick skin, which a musician only gets when they go on stage. “Sometimes we play for nobody, but that's how it starts.”
