If you do track breakdowns of your productions (doesn't even have to be new stuff), I"m sure many people will massively appreciate it. For youtube, show more of you cooking and show less finished dishes, if you know what I mean. Something that can stir musical discussion, if you're not into instructional-type vids. You're already gonna release the music, so we'll always hear the final, but I think some insight to why, how, and what you're making would make people appreciate even more than they do. food for thought. thanks man.
Hello! Glad to see a positive update. The Greylotus stuff is sick. Patreon would be cool, I bet you could take patrons' lyrical/themed ideas and spin them into a funny thing once a month. But really whatever your creativity leads you to, I'm gonna listen to it.
Hey bro. Glad you’re doing well and hope everything is ok with your family. I definitely need to be more active on RUclips,IG,maybe Twitch. Work has definitely been hindering me from achieving those goals but hope to take the time and make small steps to achieving that. Thank you for posting I got a good amount of inspiration from this video!🤘🎸
Man, I've been watching your stuff for over 10 years now. I got into your stuff from way back when you did the Katy Perry cover (the one that got away) with Evie! I've shown that song to so many friends, and every single one has said it is the best cover they've ever heard!
Hi Drewsif, it's good to hear from you my dude! I feel you so much, over the past few years, I've also struggled to stay active on social media and my mental health was like a mathcore prog song. I've been here since the beginning of your channel, and honestly, I've never delved too deeply into your musical projects outside of RUclips. What has always captivated me, and still does, is the person you are here and the art you share. You've inspired me for many years, and I will never forget how much you've helped shape who I am today. I remember finding your channel and being blown away by the insane guitar tones you achieved, and I also found inspiration in your vocal covers (especially an old one from Tesseract, though I can't recall the name of the song). I believe the most important thing is for you to focus on what makes you happy, not on what others expect from you. One of my biggest struggles has always been learning to say no and accepting that sometimes, certain plans need to be let go, even if they seem important. I'm always rooting for you, wherever you are. Know that, to me, you'll always be a winner. Even if your channel isn't the most popular or the most viewed, your music and charisma have profoundly influenced my life. Thank you so much for that. Best regards from me and my pals from Brazil. [edit] I've been following the dudes from The Plot In You and the way they are realeasing their songs its extremely cool. They released one single, then 3 songs as an EP, then 2 songs, you get the ideia. There's an interview here on youtube where the singer talks about it and how much his mental health and quality of life improved by taking this approach.
Hey my friend, I’m sorry to hear about some health concerns going on in your family, I will support and wish you the best, but I look at it this way. you’ve got fans here no matter what you do. and really don’t want to put on more stress than what you have going on. you always have a project going on. we always have stress and bills to pay, but I think on the channel? specifically speaking for RUclips? we just want to see what you’re up to. Latest riffs, and jams we can see etc. you have a personality that I think just sets the pace for compassion and understanding and compatibility in this world today. you just do you. There’s no stress. A personality that people enjoy. a lot of people want to see that. See what you’ve been playing or updates on a recording songs, editing a video, etc. these are all things that Might seem trivial, but things that I would enjoy seeing you do. you have a natural level and set of comedy that I think you’re unaware of that people enjoy !! your demeanor is perfect, but not taking lightly good production. These are all good attributes.. continue doing your good work, my friend, your friend always. PD
Hey man, I hope your family is doing okay. Keep on doing what you do man. Although I'm desperately wanting another drewsif album or totheark, im always happy to wait for your stuff. Family and personal stuff always comes first. Thanks for all you do man.
Hey buddeh. I'm feeling like I need to do more RUclips instead of worrying about things like streaming. I'm happy to see whatever you do, whatever name it has on it. I was stoked to hang with you and Mike on stream. You two are the best. Would be sick to do a video together someday... PS, transcriptions and tabs are always cool Patreon rewards. Just takes some effort to create once.
We missed you, too, dude. Don't sweat it that you're not churning out a video every week; youtube is often kinda tough to make high-quality content for, people get burned out trying to do that. If you're looking for ideas on content, I'd love to see even some basic videos just explaining how you set up your instrument-recording stuff, or more content about how you put together songs, what tracks you put in, what processing you apply to each track and why; this sorta stuff is very useful to those of us that want to turn our shitty guitarpro compositions into actual tracks. ...oh, and if you do add that sort of content, just like a 30-second post here on youtube to let people know about it will probably help a lot, 'cause if someone isn't subscribed to your patreon they can easily just miss everything on there and have no idea it even exists. Stay positive. Also come visit the UK again sometime!
So here is my 2 cents of comment: no 1: Just be what you like to do, don't burn off the rubber on your wheels. no 2: About hiring people, why not "hire" people who would actually love to work with you, and who are in the industry to actually learn some stuff by being "around" and helping out. Footnote; If they don't constantly ask for your help that is, which actually defeats the purpose of it all. no 3: Money is always an issue for us all, but doing what you love and keep going is what will be a success for you in the long run. Some do things for money, others for the love of it. no 4: Waterfall method, why not release one and one / singles, and then when all is done, put them in a collection of one album and adding a couple of caveats that was supposed to be two separate singles? Just a thought. no 5: Social media, im guessing you already know and have thought about it, but So.Me seems like a rat race. I've seen many people give in to the race and obliterate themselves to the ground. Its not for everyone, and you just need to "find the right tree to be the monkey you are supposed to be". Or if you are a fish, be in the water, don't go hurdling on the sand out of the water. Your music, helped me 4-5years ago, when I was going through a very tough time. Not sure what I`ve would've done or been at if you didn't spend time, and effort, doing what you love and share it with all of us. You`re doing great, if you didnt knew it already ;) And hey buddy, big hugs right back at ya 🤗 Regards from A Persian guy (First name Trent 🤣) who`s been living in Norway all his life
Don't really know what to say. But I'd like you to know that I appreciate your work whatever it is. Take your time, I'll be here for what you'd post. Love it, love you. Take care! ❤🤗

I agree with this human.song break downs would be awesome

I heard the Greylotus stuff really enjoying it! Sounds very technical no wonder it munches your time like a kit kat

Great to hear this update. Missed you! Prayers out to you and your family!
Man, I've been watching your stuff for over 10 years now. I got into your stuff from way back when you did the Katy Perry cover (the one that got away) with Evie! I've shown that song to so many friends, and every single one has said it is the best cover they've ever heard!
Yeah welcome back! Super pumped that you are back! 😊
Been following you since you played an Ibanez Xiphos and were releasing exclusively on Bandcamp. Keep up the amazing work dude.
Im at most a lurker of your community, but i can still say that i appreciate you making this video.
Hi Drewsif, it's good to hear from you my dude!

You rock! Happy to see you are still going strong.
There’s been bears roaming around my neighbourhood. Greylotus keeps me ready for battle during my morning walk, should the need arise.
You shoul ask us to show you new band and review them!! Would love to listen on your opinion.

Hey man, I hope your family is doing okay. Keep on doing what you do man. Although I'm desperately wanting another drewsif album or totheark, im always happy to wait for your stuff. Family and personal stuff always comes first. Thanks for all you do man.
If you do decide to get someone to do vocals please hit up Andy Cizek. Would love to hear you guys collab in any way.
song on repeat, straight fire
Greylotus?! Let's go!
We love you, you're sick, Greylotus is sick, hope all is well

Stay positive. Also come visit the UK again sometime!
Hi and thank you too!
Still here since your katy perry covers man
Hi drewsif!
So here is my 2 cents of comment:
no 1: Just be what you like to do, don't burn off the rubber on your wheels.
no 2: About hiring people, why not "hire" people who would actually love to work with you, and who are in the industry to actually learn some stuff by being "around" and helping out. Footnote; If they don't constantly ask for your help that is, which actually defeats the purpose of it all.

no 4: Waterfall method, why not release one and one / singles, and then when all is done, put them in a collection of one album and adding a couple of caveats that was supposed to be two separate singles? Just a thought.
no 5: Social media, im guessing you already know and have thought about it, but So.Me seems like a rat race. I've seen many people give in to the race and obliterate themselves to the ground.

Your music, helped me 4-5years ago, when I was going through a very tough time. Not sure what I`ve would've done or been at if you didn't spend time, and effort, doing what you love and share it with all of us.
You`re doing great, if you didnt knew it already ;)
And hey buddy, big hugs right back at ya 🤗
