Hints

Good lightning condition when shooting is essential. Best is daylight - otherwise use as many lamps as possible to eliminate shadows on the fretboard.

For best quality, shoot the video as close as possible to your hand/hands.

Use a plain, professional looking background.

Use these photoshop templates for scale diagrams, or "exploring guitar" software (see tutorial here)

If you are using the microphone of your video camera - try damping room reverberations by covering hard surfaces (usually walls) with a mattress, a carpet, pillows etc. This is especially effective when applied to the hard surface close to your amplifier/monitors.
