Do a top to bottom mix series for your EP. I feel like a lot of people are really wanting that. It would help immensely.

One thing worth mentioning about the "Clean" step is also to clean your guitar. Being able to see a generous layer of dust on your headstock in 720p can be very distracting...

[KreatorOfDeath]

I'm going to do the exact opposite and see what happens

[DavidNwokoye]

Awesome advice right here. Online, people listen with their eyes and not their ears.

[SeanTenney]

Lighting... Do not underestimate the power of a great light source. Good lighting can make a cheap camera look pro. Bad lighting can make a expensive camera look cheap. Great video.

[StNudge]

The mood part really is true. I recorded my first 2 videos in the street so it would look a bit more appealing then recording at home. But the colorful lights tip is gold. Tks

[mvrkosvudade]

Thanks a lot Keyan! Your tutorials are always super straightforward and that's important to show people you can improve yourself without a annoying amount of effort

[MartianDust]

Dude no way... I was just searching for advice on how to film guitar videos to my channel and god blessed me with a Keyan Houshmand tutorial... Thanks man.

[juliascheesar]

You’re channel top to bottom is truly one of the best on YT and I absolutely love all of your vids!

[ErebosGR]

Essentially, you can light yourself with only one key light and use bounces for the fill and rim/hair.
Alternatively, a clam-shell setup (1 key light centered from above and fill from below) also works great for guitar playing.

Great tips (and this is coming from a professional photographer). I think the goal of the person will dictate how far to go to create more professional looking content. For someone who wants to make a living as a musician or YouTuber, then investing the time and energy into creating a more professional look will be non-negotiable, but for the people who just do it as a hobby and uploads covers now and then, it really doesn't matter. In fact, the lack of polish adds to the casual hobbyist charm.

1) Clean
2) Make your room a stage
3) Set up mood

Thank you so much for this vidoe. Been watching you from the beginning 😃

Another tip I can give you is trying to reframe your video in post as to make the vertical lines (such as your speakers and wall lines) in the background be perpendicular to the horizontal lower part of your frame. dunno if i'm any clear tho, there should be a "restraigten angle" option in your video software. A single degree change can assure your picture to look pro in an instant. You can also tackle this while shooting.
Great video overall, as always.

[MemoROFL]

You make the best videos dude. Thanks so much for everything you've given us over the years

[YuugenSounds]

Never clicked on a video faster in my life

[vandonruiz]

Im so guilty with this. Im hella awkward in creating covers. Playing like im on a stage is def the best advice I took from this video! Thanks man! Always a great content dude!

[ChrisRossUK]

Hey man, appreciate the video. I definitely need to level up my guitar videos!

[andresmartinez]

Super helpful man. Thanks for sharing!
