Big point, when you record switch yourself around so that there is light infront of you and not behind you. When you are showing the fretboard, you can't see the strings cause it is too dark. I've noticed this in your other videos. You might want to get a white sheet and hang it up behind you and get a couple of lights and put them behind the camera (maybe take the shades off). And close the curtains.

The other thing is flow. Try rehersing the lesson a few times and record yourself each time and watch it. Might try getting some poster board and writing the script on it and having a friend flip them while you record it.

Also do a couple of takes and then edit to take the best peices, does not have to be done in one shot.

And as has been said before, put up a powertab/sheet music of whole song so that it is easier for us to follow along.

But keep going they are good and informative.

I think Arjen and Rich make a good team. Those of us who have been on here awhile know they have worked together.

Arjen (Promedics) is gonna call it like he sees it. I appreciate his bluntness. He is a good guy and any criticism should be taken as an attempt to be constructive.

Rich (xSSx) has shown that he can take constructive criticism. I don't know of anyone who has submitted more clips. He has put himself out there for all to see and hear.

I hope you two will continue to work together.

I didn't see they whole video but I definitely have to give you props for even spending the time to do it. Your making great progress in your playing and it's very evident. I know being young you have alot of time but it's still work putting it together.

And I would think all of Arjen's comments are in the constructive criticism vein. I would also agree with him that there's no sense sugar coating the critique. If there's something that's not right it's better to hear an honest opinion than have everyone just say yea that's cool.

I wish I had the time or desire to do that sort of stuff but I need to spend as much time as I can practicing.

Keep up the good work.

Arjen, I'd rather you give a nice, detailed critique than, “Yea man, that's good.” A 4-word response like that is good in just giving affirmation that someone has seen and heard the clip. But a full-blown critique is always better. Glad you took the time to analyze it and post your thoughts. :D]]> Hear Here corbind https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/richs-house-3-purple-haze/paged/2/#post-63875 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/richs-house-3-purple-haze/paged/2/#post-63860 Sun, 25 Jul 2004 15:52:23 +0000 Hear Here Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/richs-house-3-purple-haze/paged/2/#post-63860 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/richs-house-3-purple-haze/paged/2/#post-63859 Sun, 25 Jul 2004 15:24:17 +0000
(cut off from last post, computer not letting me edit it)]]> Hear Here Alex_ https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/richs-house-3-purple-haze/paged/2/#post-63859 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/richs-house-3-purple-haze/paged/2/#post-63857 Sun, 25 Jul 2004 15:02:57 +0000
the notation and tab perfectly scored out.. or a notepad file that really really looks awful compared to a powertab..

seriously, it'll knock up any lessons you write in the future, up a few stages.
***
about the video, sorry Rich.. i had to stop it half way through..
nothing against you but it was so dull.. i know its hard to keep interest on a video for so long..

but.. its the "4th string seventh fret then the index finger to the 4th string 5th fret then you use the second finger on the right hand to go onto the 6th string 5th fret and then the same finger to go onto the G string 6th fret then..."
its kinda like that majority of the way through.. and really bored me..
but this is constructive critisism.... what i think you should do..
is play the part your going to teach.. then go through it, dont explain minute detail after detail.. the general jist of it..
show your face on the video, if you seem interested, it helps the viewer.. but it sounded like a drag for you aswel..
then it would be so much better .. also i know you use some cool video program to add music and titles and stuff]]> Hear Here Alex_ https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/richs-house-3-purple-haze/paged/2/#post-63857 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/richs-house-3-purple-haze/#post-63856 Sun, 25 Jul 2004 13:48:50 +0000
I fear you misunderstood the point of my post. You have to understand that, and Rich knows this, he has:
-The will to help others
-The time to help others (with his age he'll have time enough to make 2 billion of such videos :))
-The potential to make VERY good and helpfull stuff.

So how to respond? We could all say 'Rich, thanks for taking the time, cool/'. We could also say 'Rich, thanks for taking the time, but if you do xxx it would be even better.' The first won't actually accomplish much, the second option would be infinitely more usefull, and he asked for feedback.

So maybe you think I am being overly critic. I don't think so. If I see ten bad points, why only mention nine? If I mention them all, he can chose what to fix and what not. Maybe people like the style, maybe people like the spontanity of non-scripted tutorials, maybe people don't want to slowed down by repetition. Who knows. I just say what *I*would do if I were him, and he can decide what to do, based on this feedback.

Also note that we have worked together on a song, are currently working on another thing, and have contact outside these fora using MSN and e-mail. As such, I am quite sure Rich knows what I am saying, and more importantly, why I am saying it in the way I do.

As for something I did:
https://www.guitarnoise.com/article.php?id=412

No idea why you ask for it, there are plenty of folks on these forum who have helped us a LOT by just being helpfull, without writing official stuff like that.

Now just wait for Musenfreund to officially welcome you... :P]]> Hear Here Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/richs-house-3-purple-haze/#post-63856 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/richs-house-3-purple-haze/#post-63843 Sun, 25 Jul 2004 05:11:08 +0000 I wouldnt worry too much about promedics critique it was over the top and you have given a lot of your time to be helpful.

Be as cool and as brash as you want the best guitarists all need that certain attitude so keep it its OK (your audience will love a bit of attitude/showmanship once you get to playing live lead so dont loose it , it shows confidence and draws em in) :lol: .

Been a viewer of these forums for quite a while now and felt it worthwhile joining just to say WELL DONE.


PS Promedic please post links to some of your tutorials / video experiance so that I can compare :lol:]]> Hear Here catcha https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/richs-house-3-purple-haze/#post-63843
