YouTube loves guitar videos
As we get nearer the end of the year, YouTube is counting down the most memorable videos of 2009. The first video on the list is a stop motion music video by MysterGuitarMan, which you can check out below.
According to the author, this nifty piece of work involves “Over 1000 cuts. 6 hours of guitar tabbing. 1 hour of shooting. God knows how much editing.” It’s already received 30,000 comments and is closing in on 5 million views. Pretty nifty work, if you ask me. We can probably expect to see a few more guitar videos make this list. I’d be surprised if United Breaks Guitars doesn’t turn up somewhere.
Awesome video!
Concerning the topic. Probably YouTube loves guitar videos because guitar players love YouTube. I mean, usually we are watching videos of our favorite players, searching gear reviews, uploading our recordings, etc. Music seems a good hobby or job that fits with YouTube.
That is so cool. We need more of this sort of thing to inspire us all to pick up our guitars and just do it! I have a strange hankering now to go back to youtube to find the marriage of Figaro being played by a skilled classical guitarist.
The video is definitely going on my wordpress right now.
