    Mr. Blackmon, my heartfelt opinion is that you are the best musician instructor on RUclips, period! With all the different genres of music that you show your viewers how to play and your expertise in taking your time in making sure that we understand how accomplish your goal in making future musicians in the world. You are definitely a SUPERSTAR of music. Thank you sir.

    Man, seeing you saying your welcome message at the beginning then jumping right into the focus of the video is very efficient and effective. LOL, there are some folks on YT that talk so much that they actually put a “lesson begins at X:XX” super on the vid so you can bypass all of the rhetoric. Keep up the great work Eric!!

    • @EricBlackmonGuitar
      @EricBlackmonGuitar  6 лет назад +3

      Hi Craig, when I first started on RUclips, the first thing that I noticed was that the tutorial guys talked way too much! I decided right away to avoid that, and it seems to have worked out! Let's get right down to business! Thanks for watching my friend!

    Bro I've learned a ton from your videos and if someone needs to see your face they're watching for the wrong reason. These are tutorials not beauty contests lol....I can't believe how much you know about all of the different types of music but especially funk and R&B! It's hard to find someone who can put the feel into the music and teach someone how to do that. Thanks a million for all the effort you put in to your videos buddy!

    • @EricBlackmonGuitar
      @EricBlackmonGuitar  Год назад +1

      I don't show my face during a lesson because unlike some RUclipsrs, I don't want this to be about me. I only want folks to learn and enjoy playing. When I first started on RUclips I did not show my face at all. I went right into the lessons. I had a lot of viewers complain about not being able to attach a face to the lessons, so eventually the EricBlackmonMusic intro was created. Folks seemed to like it so it is still here today.

  • @GManWrites
    @GManWrites 6 лет назад +1

    Hi Eric I agree with not showing a face for a guitar lesson and instead focusing on the guitar. I don't make guitar videos but I do make gaming, computer tutorial and Music videos on 3 RUclips channels, I have about 200 videos and I have never shown my face but that's because I am a very private person and I am concerned with the erosion of privacy in the modern world.

I'm hooked! So far, I've worked on "Slide", "Green Onions", "Chic", "Brick House", and "777-9311". My brothers are jealous (laughing). I'm like a train, "Ain't No Stopping Me Now". That was one of my jams too : ).
