How do y'all DO that?
Five minute videos without a stutter, stammer or verbal backtrack.
Do you overdub the monologue, work from a script, do it in multiple takes til you get a good one or are y'all just that damn good?

In that case, hats off for not snarling.
Five takes of a five minute video would just about annoy me

They may do multiple takes, but regardless, I think it is ultimately their level of confidence and ability to explain what they are doing so well. Yep, they're that darn good! Very Happy

Clete, as prep for a requested explanation of a blues ride I do, I attempted a simple one on my youtube channel. Four bars, the ending of "Mansion on the Hill."
While not a train wreck, I discovered it ain't easy.
I wonder if tabbing it out in advance, kinda like cue cards, wouldn't eliminate the backtracking. I think it's that confidence thing

Oops. I forgot the link. This was the best of three takes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6DC2fAOmOc

I actually run through the lesson several times making sure Ive got the correct positions, and the "flow", hoping that the lesson will maintain continuity...I usually get it the first or second time I record...I then watch it several times, and try to follow my own direction. This allows me to double-check, for accuracy, or maybe broccoli between my teeth!.. Shocked Shocked

You make it look easy and natural, sir. Sounds like prep is the answer.
Now I'm just waiting for you to explain that Dickey Overbey ride.

Justin Trevino's "Who Will Buy The Wine" on his "Travelin' Singin' Man" CD.
The first three bars have some cool 2nd string stuff that my brain just refuses to analyze.
If you don't have it, I could shoot you the MP3.

I do everything in one quick take, right or wrong, you get mistakes and all. Possibly being an old time studio player where we all had to record this way helps, but one take is the way its done.
I really dont usually have time to do it any other way. Sure I make mistakes in my youtube vidios but it's not like it is going to be pressed for a major lable.
As you can tell Micky is a very good player and does a great job using his method.

My health may be good enough soon so I can start playing again soon, I hope so!

Thanks to all of you fine players and great folks!

Bobbe, I dig how in your lessons, you share the subtleties.
Of course one of my favorite ringtones is sliced from your "Invitation to the Blues."
I dig that slow release how the B pedal stays active almost til the IV chord is done ringing. I don't even look at the text message til that pedal comes up.

Nope

I usually take a camcorder with me when I visit Bobbe. He is a consumate performer in front of a camera. I have asked him in the past to record a message to a friend who was suffering the ill effects of a stroke. After just giving the merest of briefs to Bobbe, he then did a 5 minute message into my camcorder. Absolutely perfect first time and said with conviction.

He is a natural in front of a movie camera. Very Happy

I am amazed that mental organization that can play something and then explain it in detail on the fly. Having attempted it myself, it ain't that easy.

Just wow.
