I'm going to cut back on youtube videos for now. I'm finding the extremely low view numbers are not worth the work I'm putting into it. I had my 15 minutes of YT fame in 2022, and that is long gone. I will be doing the live chats once a week on Friday nights. My last live chat upload got 300 views and had about ten people watching it live. (I have 130,000 subs) It's obvious most people don't care about guitar or improv. I will keep doing one shorter video on Monday or Thursday night.
Since my extended 'music' uploads don't get many views, I have decided to move the pure jam videos over to Patreon to a paid level. All my extended studio jams from last 5 years will now be posted there on the $9 a month ‘special access’ tier and every tier above that level. That means NO ADS. No copyrights. I may even start posting ENTIRE busking shows up there from the last 3 years so you can see the whole show in ONE video. There is no way I can catch up to my busking or studio backlog with youtube alone.
If you enjoy improv, music therapy and my instrumentals please go to patreon and sign up there to get access to the REAL music. Bandcamp will continue with all my audio jams and the next bandcamp Friday is Dec 6. You can support there as well!
Unfortunately, Youtube has become the land of 'outrage and negativity' and I am not going in that direction, so that means I don't get any views. 99% of my videos are pure music, but most people do not ever see them and then complain to me that all I do is post negative videos. HINT! That's because they get promoted to you by youtube.
