By praise bands I mean Christian institutions like churches and schools that need a regular accompanist on their team. I don't know how much this guy is making on Twitch, but if he's clearing more than a few thousand a year, then yeah.
Though in my experience, its the same problem. The guitar spot is already filled by the literal pastor or a major member of the church and they need drums or keyboard constantly.
That is also true (better opportunities for guitarists the more megachurchy the church), but nothing stopping anyone from learning either of those other instruments lol.
Real instrument skill, including guitar, can make you decent side money in praise bands. Those jobs aren't pipe dreams either.
Every guy I've known with it never managed to do a single job. Every local band is founded by a guy with a guitar already. Maybe that's just my town.
Either way that's sporadic, gig money that you'd need to do a lot of to offset the difference between what he made streaming.

Ah, fair point.
