80? 90? More? I can’t be the only one…. Am I? Try to recored a simple rough vid of a song. Only to end up messing up the playing. Or words. How do you mess up the words to your own song? Apparently I’m good at that. Stopping and saying #@$% might be funny to watch. But after seven or eight times it get’s kind of boring. End up with about as much recording time of me saying #$%# as I do the entire song. Maybe I should just sing #@$%, Then when I mess that up I'll have to think of something else to yell out. I will get this song videoed and uploaded today. I have about seven hours of good sunlight left. And a 32gig card in my camera. Might be enough.
So all you video creators. How do you do your vids? One take and go? Take many and choose the best? Recored audio and video separately then edit them together? I can’t be the only one who can spend four hours trying to record a 3 minute song.

it is said that pushing the "record " button effects the central nervous system ,causing all your efforts to go to sheee@t.
a simple way to edit without downloading a bunch of crap is to use your " windows movie maker" already included in your computer . even if you dont use it as a video , you can edit it and splice it , fade in / out etc and record the playback as an mp3 .
or ,maybe get someone else to push "record". you never seem to hit that damn ball when you say "hey dad ,, watch" .... ok .. watch this one .. er ,, just a min ... " etc ..try to preternd he / the button aint there ;-)
hope that helps ;-)
I don't think anyone could be worse than me with this. I had a thought about this yesterday, actually. I think I might be undermining myself by following a bad mistake by stopping, getting mad, and starting over. So, I'm going to try finishing the song on each take. All of my videos are the last take, after many, when I'm fed up. I wish I hadn't posted them afterwards, usually.
Thanks Anonymous. But i love being in front of a camera and a crowd. So you'd think pushing that button would get me gitty as a school girl.
Rich, no regrets! It's all music, all from the heart and all good. Because videos inspire others. That's why there are so many of them.
My hot sweaty sunny morning has turned into a rainy, steamy and cloudy afternoon. But we really need the rain. So I'll set up some lights and keep chugging at it.
There's a video on youtube that reminds me of myself making a video. It's called "the return of the angriest guitar player in the world". I totally feel what this guy's going through.
Rat, you can do it, I have faith in you. So get busy and " GET 'ER DONE!!"
Thanks folks!
Alight! I'm cheating. I'm getting a vid uploaded to Youtube now. Was to big for the site. It's one of three diddleys I came up with using Shane Speal's 1, double fifths tuning. Or 1,5,9. It's not me singing. But I still screwed up enough to have to edit it. Left one screwup in it.
mighty fine ;-)
Finally found Shane's video that inspired me.

going to post this link on all three of the youtube vids.
Funny thing happened when I sat down with a three string guitar this morning. Two new song ideas came out of nowhere. : ) I take a vid of the original raw idea. A separate vid for every change I make to that idea. Then a vid or two of lyric or melody ideas for that one song. I can end up with ten or more vids for one unfinished song. I have well over 200 three to five minute vids of ideas. That's on this computer. My old mac, it's down but i'm getting it fixed, has hundreds more.
If I don't get it down after about the 5th take I stop trying for a bit and come back at it fresh. There have been a few that took me around 12 takes maybe more like Space Oddity for my David Bowie tribute. I've talked about this before that I often hit the record button when I'm practicing a song and that way can self critique what I'm doing. It also becomes no big deal when you want to do one for real since you get very comfortable with having that red light come on. Also, perfection is an elusive goal and I'm usually real happy if I can simply stand to listen to the end result.
