My new Blog... would anyone really care?

[Ola Englund]

I just put up a blog. Mainly because my Youtube channel is limited. I want to be able to post lessons and rants about music in general as well as offer some guitar playing/recording tricks and info. My concern now is if someone actually would be interested in reading my blog. I mean is it worth putting the time and effort into doing something like this?

Also If you have some pointers on what to include in the blog I'll gladly take those. I'm not a designer so don't expect a sight for the eyes.

Looking forward to your answers, and for the best, don't be gentle.

I would

I'd check it out as long as the content had some frequency of updating. So many blogs start out with a bang then quickly fade into the junk that litters the internet and search engines. But informative sites are always a welcome thing.

i want more ola-style tutorials, some low watt amp testing and maybe GP tabs of feared songs(or plain tabs).

Design looks cool enough.Just don't put your famous desktop picture anywhere in the blog

In my experience people always love tutorials on how to make bass guitar sound like dead babies being steamrolled by a semi-trailer.

 

[motomoto]

yeah, i just love his tutorials because they're hilarious

 

[StefTD]

That would be pretty awesome!

I'm also thinking of doing like a how to play Nevemore Riverdragon has come solo, vids and stuff like that. But sure if there is an interest in wanting tabs for Feared songs sure.

More tutorials would be awesome but takes a lot of time to do. Getting a hold of Mel Gibson wasn't the easiest thing.

You should totally fuck people up by doing a Poison cover in one of your amp tests - I do believe people would start stabbing themselves and randomly vomiting if they heard you playing "Talk Dirty to Me".

Make sure you tease your hair out 80's style, and get some makeup on too.

Can you imagine the Poison fans out there... they watch this video, and then when the next video plays... KABAM - their ears are destroyed by the power of real metal and they kill their parents.

+1 If you really keep this up i think it is a great way to communicate with people and also promote yourself and your projects!

RSS subscriber thingy fixed!

 

[Ola Englund]

video tutorials of feared songs would be killer if your not into writing tab.

This will probably be one of the things I will start doing.

I will try from now on.

Yeah that was the plan, it gets kinda tricky follow every questions on the comments of the youtube videos. Would be easier for me to answer questions using the blog I think.

well maybe we can do some kind of porn/guitar thingy that might attract more viewers. Is there a market for videos of me playing nude?
