I'm not sure Vanessa's tip about hiding the video will work as you have to click on "public" for us to see it here, I believe, but Vanessa may have already done just that and knows it does work. Ness?
That's what I do too. If I'm not using the uploader (which hasn't worked for me recently from memory - the busking uploader) then I post a link from my YouTube account and restrict those who can see it to people who have the link. It also means you don't end up with trolls commenting on it, only TGers. It works well.Yep, it absolutely works!
I have done that several times, I believe Kevin does the same here and there (he often takes them down after a while, but mine are still here). You just need to post the link/url.

It's a deal! I'll have the virtual tissues ready for you just in case Jean.Dennis, Willem,
Yeah, I think you are absolutely right. I'm sitting there with guitar and iPad anyway. I should be recording what I play. And maybe I will horrify myself, but since there's no one there to watch it with me . . .why didn't I think of this myself? I guess that's why the Forum is a good thing. OK, so tomorrow ill have a little time on my hands. I record myself to see what happens only if everyone promises to virtually dry my tears if it's that bad. LOL!
The best way to record/film your self a whole song is when there is no one around...play a bit,,practice a bit and try-------------------Michelle - Great topic/poll - I voted "combo"....
Many reasons have already been mentioned and they resonate with me.
I'd say for me, it mainly is a "time" thing. When I practice/play, it's generally well after the dinner hour and while I dont need to be overly concerned with the volume (no little ones that may be disturbed or others in the house cant hear their TV programs, etc), by that time of the day my focus (what's left of it after the workday) is to try practice pointers from my time with Neil while they are fresh in my mind. I also want to "play" songs all the way through. So I may grab a song(s) that I can get through - there are not many, but there is a sense of accomplishment completing a song.
I also need to imporve in other areas - scales and theory beinig near the top of that list...so I try get some work in on those areas.
I do have a camera and if I put my mind to it, I'm sure I could figure posting out....again a "time" thing.
I do go back from time to time and re-visit the FOTW sessions. I'd like to say that there has been improvement (at least in the playing department, see improvement area "theory" above - still a work in progress). So I do have a reference point to draw from.
At the end of the day, I'd like to post something at some point in the future. I think it's a goal to shoot for.
