Why not include some working musicians on a panel like this, people who successfully record and tour and play in bands for a living? There were plenty at Guitar Summit who use social media to support their real-world careers.

It would have been interesting to hear that perspective too: how social media can help build an actual career as a musician, rather than being the career itself.

Instead, it’s the same YouTube bubble again, with the same familiar faces patting each other on the back. YouTube creators absolutely have their perspective, but hearing the same voices over and over makes for a pretty onesided discussion about the music business. A few voices from outside that bubble would have made the panel much more interesting.

This is a great video 👍🏻

Kris and Guillaume, you both did very well as facilitators, asking good questions.

It has caused a vivid debate in this house.

Very interesting panel, thanks to all involved for pushing the topics of actually making a living

I have seen alot of great musicians in life that for what ever reason weren't in a well known rock and roll group. But now the internet has opened up a door for them to get their recognition. Now I'm seeing alot of internet musicians that are doing demos for major brands at guitar shows. How the music industry has changed from when I was a kid. I've owned so many  guitars and amps from a long time ago that are now called classics and are worth alot more now than what they did brand new. I wonder, am I a collectable and my value has gone up? 😂

So much instructional advice content about how to do stuff but no one is actually doing anything. Where’s the advice from stadium filling, #1 hit song writing artists?

To succeed you need to have something that people want to buy - same as any industry - simples.

i disagree with having a plan before you start making youtube/music social media. I get it. some people's brains need a plan. But you'll be wasting time there NOT making a great video and getting better at making videos.

Hot take: You don't need a plan. You need the love for making videos, and incredible discipline to keep posting no matter what. the plan will emerge. The thing you like making videos about will emerge. And all of it will be better than anything you could have planned.

Took me 25 videos to get to bass guitar, and another 16 to make a good bass video.

Danny Sapko has the answer

Yes , what if your life is not that interesting when you're recording and just it in the background, ? But you still decide to try\nLike I am.

C’est une interprétation. Ceci dit je ne comprends pas la perspective du miroir. A la base je n’ai jamais pensé que c’était un miroir (même si je suppose que si) et que c’était une autre serveuse à droite. Au fond les gens sont au balcon. La table de la serveuse dans le reflet pend donc dans le vide au-dessus de la salle.
Quand à la perspective du reflet: au secours. Les bouteilles de gauche ok. Mais le dos de la serveuse est complètement de travers et ne respecte pas du tout la perspective du « reflet ».

a lot of talking , no playing , you put those 3 together I was hoping to see them play a little ;))

Aus freiem willen ? Ich schau mir die videos doch nicht freiwillig an sondern wegen unserem hund, dem Fridolin, wenn der nicht seine 2 videos am tag bekommt knurrt er und bevor er zubeisst tu ich ihm den gefallen 🐕😂

Davie504 should have been on this panel.  He's one of the most successful youtube musician and one of the earliest.

I've never heard a Mary Spender song and I dont intend to
The same with Rush

Bla bla bla bla bla!  Thank you.

I hate today's internet and antisocial media. I hate it so much.
