Thanks for the honesty, Phil!
I really enjoy your straight forward no nonsense information. Thanks.
These short clips are nice - even if I saw the whole podcast - because I get more out of it the second time!
I love Sharpen my Axe btw
I feel ya, Phil - I got really into making pedal demo videos starting in 2020, after a couple years of grinding away I figured out a repeatable format for production and lined up a deal with Flipside Music (who I'm local to) where they let me borrow pedals to do videos with. It was awesome on paper, but it ended up backfiring and burning me out big time. It just sucked all the creativity out of what I was doing, and felt like a chore that I had to buckle-down and knock out every week. I went on a hiatus with the intent to come back to making videos, and I've made a few here and there on other things I'm interested in, but haven't posted any guitar or guitar-related demo videos in ~2 years.
I just got a PRS SE McCarty 594 single cut. I chose the vintage cherry without the maple top. I wondered if I had made the right choice. When I got it I realized how beautiful it was and that I had indeed made 5he right choice.
I enjoy Sharpen My Axe! Favorite style videos
Glad you are clipping them👍, you’ve always provided good info, but the live streams (by anyone who does them)
Can be a bit tedious, waiting for the kernels of wisdom 🤣🤣
Really appreciate your insight. Excellent video.
I get it. Thanks for sharing. I have days I wonder why I go to work.
Always great insights Phil.
I burned out on watching reviews long ago.
Thank you for not doing another duplicate review. I'm even tired of the Fender vs Squier and Gibson vs Epiphone comparisons.
I'm also tired of the "You can upgrade your cheaper quitar to be as good as the more expensive model" videos. Been there and done that.
The result was a highly modified Squire Strat that actually cost more than a comparable MIM Fender Strat and had less resale value than a used unmodified Squire. Heavily modified guitars kill the resale value (unless you are a Jimi Hendricks or Stevie Ray Vaugh.) - I won't play that game again.
Could you do a review of guitar reviews? (Kidding!). Thanks for all your posts! Cheers!
I feel for you. It's the reason why I stopped making videos.
Even if you were to A/B them, you wouldn’t be A/Bing two models, you’d just be A/Bing two individual guitars.
You've been self employed for a long time, but for hard working folks who work for themselves, you have to schedule in down time or you'll never take it. Limit the videos to a certain amount per week, month, year. Schedule time off and stick to it. I get why people want to see all the stuff they are considering buying demonstrated live, but that's not really your job. It would be like me saying, "yeah, but can you review a blue one?" because I want to see how it looks (especially if buying online). It's a compliment that folks want to see a lot of content from you but you need to set limits, looks like you're doing it!
Whatever your choice I support you
Please do a video on the old expandra pedal it was great.
Blaze a new trail bc you have ppl that believe in you
UA-camr is no different than being a Cable TV pitch man... Look what happened to that Oxiclean guy.... Billy something or other
