You know it may be even a good idea but there is no way i can mount my camera that way. I don't have a SHRED CAM (have to contact Troy Grady to send me one) so mounting a regular digital camera is impossible to get a crisp and clean picture.

It's impossible to do without extra equipment so i guess we'll stick to the current format for now!

I really don't plan on asking a friend of mine to come to my house and hold a camera STEADY for me to record another lesson!! Not a good idea!

It's all cool but come on guys be real! Taping a 400$ cam?? Yeah, right!
Also if only you knew the conditions i record in - i don't have 1 meter of free space when i set all up for recording so i sure won't be able to do it in near future! -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Simply adding a camera angle that would show either the freatboard/lefthand(righthandforlefthandedtechersofcourse!), the picking hand or both, shown from the eyes of the teacher! I think students would benefit more from the videos if such an agnle was added for a couple of reasons: 1. Most naturall, and understandable view This is the one view that all of us, naturally, are most used watching since this is the angle we are using while practincing, seeing our own hands giggeling around the freatboard, IMO this view makes the teachers playing much easier to compare with ones own playing etc. I dont think i need the explain this one any further, think most of u get the point I spent 2 hours today trying to set the camera to at least 50% close view! First of all - it's not simple at all! Second thing is - you can't mount the camera on your nose! And third thing is - camera stands have 3 feet/legs so if you somehow manage to put the camera in the needed angle - you can't sit next to it and you can't capture more than first 10 frets. Making a picture with digital camera using right hand is one thing - but setting up a camera on a stand inside you is a different thing! And my question is - is it really that difficult to follow what we are playing in slowed down videos?

Marcus said he's gonna give it a shot so maybe he'll be more successful trying to set the camera! Let's wait and see!
Btw. i was learning to play by instructionals with angles just like these and to be honest never needed extra angle. I was just trying to imitate the movements those shredders where doing and now i got them. There are always some pros and cons in both live teacher and online video lessons - nothing can be perfect! Keep rockin'!

Ok, here is my new shot and i think this one is pretty successful so take a look and comment please (don't comment my clothes, cables or anything - just the angles and what you see because all the details will be fixed in the lessons videos):

Thats exactly what i was looking for, thats such a great seeing what your thumb is doing, and how your right palm moves over the bridge, really cool you made it It's really nice to see your playing in action from your own view, you are both creative and talented (and naked?) thc alot pavel, your work is highly apriciated cheers how did you manage to create that view? |

i am not naked but you can't see the shorts because of the guitar
Don't ask me how i pulled this off...phew...i am REALLY glad you liked it so now i will put it in my lessons! It is now really LOADS of work to prepare 1 lesson but i hope it will be worth it! -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |
