    Couldn't agree with you more about that terrifying first (and 2nd and 3rd) video! But you are absolutely right about the great, helpful community here too - I started my channel last year, and their support was incredible. So, to all new to YT: don't be put off by having to record; bite the bullet, maybe start with just voice-over as suggested here and go for it. It's definitely worth it!

    Hi. This is the first time I've commented on any UA-cam video. You seem to be the kind of person I'd like to know and your instruments are beautiful.
    I built about a dozen guitars from the early 90s to 2005, when I moved and lost space to work. During that interval, it was difficult to meet and talk with other builders.
    I've recently been able to get back into building, finishing some undone projects, and am starting a new guitar, ironically a neck-through SG styled instrument.
    I had considered and quickly dismissed the notion of recording myself during the build, thinking, "who would want to watch me?" but your post here has made me give it more thought.
    Thanks.

    It was GGBO 2020 that introduced me to the idea of building guitars as a creative outlet. The two rounds thus far have blown me away with the number of incredibly talented, creative, and dedicated folks who have participated. Better yet, a large number have taken to taking the time to share their insights, tips, and "how to" knowledge. which has been amazing. I'm looking forward to this year's version, not for the competition as much as for the ideas and passion that will no doubt emerge in the submissions. Good luck with your buiild!
