Some of you here know I have a Youtube guitar lesson channel. Some of you are subscribers, so thanks! I just surpassed 1,000,000 views overnight, and now have 2400 subscribers.

It started out from watching Fretkillr videos a few years ago, and I thought "I wish he would show how he plays some of these songs." So I posted a couple of lessons of old acoustic tunes, never thinking anyone would watch them. I remember getting excited when I actually had 100 views.

So I haven't posted anything new lately, with moving to a new house and all. But now I will have a designated recording studio area upstairs, and am looking forward to recording some originals, as well as some more lessons on old stuff.

Anyway, thanks to you folks that are subscribers. I hope I've shown some useful tips to a few of you.

Isn't there some sort of hit threshold when you start getting some cash-o-la?
.
Enjoy the lessons BTW... tho the wardrobe is something of a distraction.

They keep trying to get me to load ads on my videos, and I keep refusing. I really HATE having to go thru an ad before I watch someone's video.
Whatever "cash-o-la" might be possible would probably be so miniscule that it ain't worth my time or trouble.

For some oddball reason, I have quite a few subscribers from the middle east. (Makes me wonder if they're watching one of my videos right before they blow themselves up...)

Congratulations, Bob! Nice job on hitting the milestone. I'm a subscriber and have the link bookmarked so I can go right to your channel. I learn a little something every time I go there (you CAN teach an old dog new tricks). I like your laid back presentation of the lessons, and they're always very clear and concise. I would say your channel should be essential, mandatory viewing for new guitarists. They'll learn a lot.

Once again - congrats!

Rick

I intentionally didn't post the link, really just thanking those who had subscribed and watched some videos.
(plus, I really didn't want to give any ammunition to those few enemies I might have...)
