 Did a simplified version in 2 formats:

Short:

Blue Bossa Guitar chords

 Did a 16:9 version of Blue Bossa in 1080px 

Also did a short that loops in 9:16 format

I now have 61 subscribers to my YouTube channel. 

Sunny by Bobby Hebb / Pat martino

 I did a short form version of Sunny yesterday for YouTube and decided to redo the video for a long form version. If you look closely you can see the loop. My inspiration is the Pat Martino version. Look it up!

Neo Soul Dream Chords

 Did a quick YouTube short today using the new camera, I prepped the chord diagrams last night in Finale software:

What are these chords , well first off they sound cool so that's the main thing. 

Theory wise I was thinking of a 2 5 1 6 2 5 1 progression in C major. 

I extended the progression to sort of include a G pedal note so you could view the chords differently hence the G13sus4 rather than Dm9/G. 

The second chord is interesting as it can be seen as G7 (b5 #5) .

The last part is interesting as the top voice ascends with the chromatic notes A A# B 

Putting on the composer hat though you say "who cares they sound good" the analysis comes after the composition not before. 

Neo soul title clickbait? Well I have seen Robert Glasper live a few years ago and I like the Neo soul way of moving around the key changes! 

Uses of this progression could be in Charlie Parkers tune Little Suede Shoes, I tend to play it in the key of C rather than Eb. 

Purple Haze and other stuff

 

Selling quite a bit of sheet music but my 5 star version of Purple Haze for beginners is hidden in the search results so I link it here :

Currently I now have 50 subscribers on YouTube.  and 5000 views. 

I use Socialblade website to check my progress.

Spain by Chick Corea soloing chords.

Here are the soloing chords to Spain by Chick Corea. This version is based on the Bireli Lagrene / Vic Juris live recording from 1986.

I have purchased a Panasonic HC-V180 and it all looks better in 1080. Audio is from the camcorder. The camcorder also has a flip screen so I can see myself properly which saves a lot of time.

YouTube Shorts

 I am after YouTube subscribers, it turns out that YouTube has 2 billion users logged in but only 143,000,000 people who upload content.  

75% of the 143,000,000 have <100 subscribers 

If you have >100 subscribers then you are in the top 36,000,000 of the content creators. That is the top 36,000,000 of youtubers in the world. 

So a latest way to gain subscribers is to use "short" tiktok style videos in 9:16 format known as YouTube shorts . How long this window will be open is hard to say so I have made 6 shorts and had some success:

Its a quick way to build subscribers as its quicker to make shorts.

Currently I am using Clipchamp for post production such as picture in picture and text which gets more YouTube  promotion.
