Not great but, throw some recommendations at me!




Cheers to loren for the recommendations on the zoom q3hd, its perfect for what I needed it to do!




edit: ...Apparently I talk too fast

My recs are quit shaking so much, talk a bit louder and slower, and keep yo eyes either on the guitar or on the camera foo. Very nice playing, no crits on that.

haha

I felt like a bit of a twat speaking to a camera, definitely nervous to for whatever reason even though I could just...not upload it

Couldn't understand what you were saying in the video. use a separate mic for the speech, talk a bit slower and louder compared to the video, if possible play the runs slower on the instructional part and articulate better since it's an instructional video, and if the pupil can't understand what the instructor is saying, it's not a good thing. Also there is an annoying hum in the background, you might want to try to do something about it. Also I wouldn't mind if there was like text floating at certain points to show stuff like chord names, fingering etc

Good points anssi, the hums my computer, I've got the recorder propped up on my monitor so its picking up everything

I'll do the captions right away

yeah man i dont know if it is the natural way you speak but as people have said, just slow your speech a little and separate out your words, ive seen people do this before where they run their words together very fast because they want to finish talking as quick as possible, remember that people watching will want to hear what you have to say, playin and theory all seemed cool though you obviously know your stuff

You did okay with playing the guitar but I really can't understand what you were saying. Follow the pointers that ahjteam had pointed out. If you have a much better video recorder, try using one. Hope to see your second video lesson
