Well, well, well. Here we are again, on this day that Americans celebrate as Thanksgiving. I bring you: 11 ways to make your youtube gear demo better, or 11 things you should do if you want to make youtube gear demos, or.... ehhh I dunno. Catchy titles that are descriptive yet well, catchy... are not the easiest thing to come up with. ANY way. Today I bring you this video, which are some collective thoughts on "what makes a good gear demo on youtube according to our own personal opinions as well as those who have talked about it on our facebook group (you're a member there, yeah??)". Alas, that's too long of a title, therefore, this is what ya get.
And keep in mind... I don't know everything. I'm not perfect, and I commit many of these mistakes as do all of us youtubers from time to time. Plus, I enjoy being self deprecating and don't threaten to take away my jogging pants. Oh, no, no, no.
If you're more of the reading type, here's a blog written about this very same topic from my good friend and cohort Alex Clay on the Wampler website: http://www.wamplerpedals.com/news/blog/latest-news/gear-demo-dos-and-donts
This is also NOT an exhaustive list, but I'd LOVE to hear all of YOUR thoughts in the comments below on what makes a great youtube gear demo video, and what makes a bad one. Comment below, like, subscribe, share, and burn to a CD and give to your significant other as a Christmas gift.
Special thanks to my friend and sweeping arpeggio buddy Robert Baker for his help with this. Check out his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/rguitar
