Permission Request From My Patrons
Added 2017-08-08 23:29:53 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
I know things have been slow on the creation of new full production video lessons, and I apologize for that. I've been busy building up my Skype lesson students.
I have been putting out new content though, on facebook, in the form of video logs which I've been calling "guitar logs". These videos document what I practice and how I practice. I thought it would be a cool idea to show people the kind of practice it takes to make real solid progress, and how you can trouble shoot things when problems arise.
So, the permission request. What's that all about?
I'm contemplating switching from pledging per creation to pledging monthly. Here's why:
It takes an average of at least 20 hours to produce a full production video lesson now. I really really want to stick with making the videos I put out on YouTube to stay in this current style, and eventually, keep getting better and better.
But, due to things like having to focus on growing the teaching side of things for Mile High Shred, this tends to keep me from making new video lessons as often as I'd like.
With the monthly pledge, it's still showing me support in what I do. I will still share content when I can, such as the music that WILL be used in the final polyrhythm video course. But, seeing as how I set up the pledges to be per full video lesson, perhaps I've shot myself in the foot in being able to use Patreon correctly for what I'm able to do.
I figure I could also do exclusive patreon lessons that are low production. Just, here's something I'm working on, here's the music for it, here's the explanation. I can also give more behind the scenes stuff on material I'm working on. Things like that.
So, any feedback from you guys is greatly appreciated.
Lastly, speaking of behind the scene stuff, I've attached the 10 speed picking exercises I've put together for part of a speed picking mini course. It's all about right hand speed at this point. It's designed to take you from really simple to fairly challenging by the end.
I've beta tested it with some students, and so far so good. Let me know what you think!
