My Website featuring Guitar Instruction
Posted: Sat Aug 16, 2014 10:46 pm
Hi everyone. I guess this would be the place to put something like this without seeming like a jerk. (Not that I would consider anyone a jerk if they ever posted something in the wrong area )
I've had several different websites where I've posted lessons and video instruction in the past. This is the current one I'm working on. Everything is just being put out there for anyone that might benefit from it at this point. (Some content may be reserved for students in the future.) Maybe there will be some way to monetize something like this in the future also, but that's not my concern at this point. I just want to get better at doing video lessons, building the site, and get more internet presentation under my belt. I started thinking that if I committed to posting a lick lesson a day for a year, I'd have a good number of video lessons out there. I will also continue to add other lessons that are not in the 365 lessons during the year. So, I started posting my "365 Guitar Licks with Bob Porri" lessons on youtube and linking from my website. You are welcome to visit the website and the video links and share any thoughts here that you think might help. I don't mind increasing the quality as the number of lessons progress and then maybe getting back to earlier ones (maybe) later on. The older videos I did a number of years ago (the ones with some titling if you see some of those), lost a ton of quality in the video conversion process. I should be able to redo those from the original recordings at some point. The current ones are much better video even though they are just done with my webcam, but still not where I'd like them to be. However, I'm hoping that the material presented will in any case be helpful to some guitar players. If you just check out one video, the most current one (Lick 8) where I show some Hendrix style licks I thought was about the most concise so far. Some of the longer earlier ones of the 365 lessons tend to involve some extent of rambling which I'm trying to do better with going forward. I also decided with the 365 lessons, not to do a lot of editing if any. If I did, it would take me more time than I have and I'd rather be presenting the lessons. These are intentionally presented with little or no editing in mind and I think sort of come off informal and like sitting in on a real lesson.... I think.
Anyways, if you have the time you can visit http://www.bobporri.com and help me out with website and/or video ideas.
Obviously I'm doing this on my own (I'm using Godaddy website tools), so even though I'd like to, I'm really not thinking of getting a professional website designer, at least not now.
Thanks for any help.
