In 2011 I got the idea that I could make money using You Tube. After all other people were doing it, but what could I do to make money? I decided to make little 5 to 15 minute video guitar lessons. The first step was to get a video camera and video editing software. The next step was to work out a course.

With that in mind I chose to give some advanced guitar lessons. I planned out 40 videos. I got the first 17 filmed and I decided I needed to write a theme song. I used the theme song for the first two levels in the introduction. I filmed the theme song and played the solo live. I tried to put as many tricks as I could in the short 3 m minute song. I only got about 30 percent of them in there but it demonstrates what the first 2 levels are about.

I pulled the videos down and due to major problems with You Tube I stopped the process. but here is the demo video with the stupid human guitar tricks. kind of funny when I look back on it now.

Pretty good at that orbiting Marcus :-) I agree Youtube has everything on it but is essentially unwatchable anymore.

It's funny because you look more like an insurance salesman than a shreader! But you're a darn good one.

Great playing and a cool song. I know its a bit late in the game, but man the guitar is way too buried. I can barely hear it. The acoustic overrides everything. I would love to hear the problems you had with YouTube. I have been thinking its time to dump all things google and restart my webservers and host my own site again.
