I hope you all enjoyed this - next I'll go into my processing for writing/recording demo tunes, so get your questions in for that!

Dang it man that's efficient!

You got that down to the bare minimum of work needed to do the job well. That's awesome!

[BobGuido]

Thanks Leon! We really appreciate your super valuable tips. You make it sound and look good and easy.

[bentooliveira]

Great video, amazing tone! Thanks, man!

[_mysilentblue]

I liked the video. Side chain gate your voice using your guitar track as the trigger, easy peasy and no cutting out all of that audio. Cool stuff Leon, behind the scenes quick look.

[andysoul]

That recursive vibe is awesome!
Thank you Leon!

[DavidBeebee]

You’ve definitely inspired me to pull my finger out and start making some videos. Great to see behind the curtain and see how others make the sausage! Cheers dude.

I love that you touched on the importance of lighting. I use the Canon M50 mkII and get great results from it in tandem with my lighting setup. I don’t see myself upgrading for at least another 2 years.

[hollywoodactress]

Fantastic overview and thank you.
I have been wanting to see how you record your videos for a while.
Great to see you have reached 75k subs as I have followed you for the early days 🙌 onwards and upwards

[ctaggett]

I want those guitar patches, sound great

[peterharvin]

I think you make it look easier than it actually is, and I commend you for it. And while your setup may be simpler than some, it sure is effective.

[omorganstudios]

Thx, will take my guitar videos to the next level...

[castleanthrax]

I've watched a couple of videos like this, and the recurrent theme seems to be that lighting is so crucial to good video production. Thank you for showing us how you make your videos.

[Stringers]

very cool man. always nice to see what people do behind the scenes to make vids, to pick up little things here and there. thanks

[jhenriquegp]

Great job Leon! As an editor/producer and guitar player, I enjoyed seeing your behind the scenes process. You're an inspiration! Keep up the great work!
