πΈπ₯ UNBELIEVABLE!!! πΈπ₯
10,000 subscribers is by no means in the heady heights of the mega guitar YouTubers, but I really couldn't be happier!
I remember starting the channel as a way of just putting up a few tips and tricks for guitar playing. I was a young whippersnapper who'd just moved to a new city and started a guitar teaching business. It was HARD to make those first videos and see them remain lost and unwatched in a very saturated video genre.
I gave up and left it, still happy with teaching. Then I logged on one day and saw I had 350 subscribers. It amazed me that I'd built a small community and it inspired me to pick it up again.
Each milestone kept me going. I remember playing 550 notes on an Ibanez RG550 to celebrate 550 subs. I remember singing Number of the Beast to celebrate 666 subs. 1000 subs just made it clear to me that I'm a YouTuber no matter how fast or slow my channel grows. The videos were clearly reaching an audience that like what I do and I've made loads of connections with guitarists from all around the world as a result.
At times it's been tough and at points took over my life, which isn't healthy. It took moving house to naturally stop that momentum and pressure I'd slowly put on myself over time to create, create, create. I didn't even realise I'd been doing it. I've settled into a much more realistic and manageable balance now, and still get excited about future videos to come.
Yes there will be a 10,000 subs Couch Potato Jam.
Yes there will be a prize. (maybe a draw again like at 5000)
Thanks to the subscribers, the students, the patrons and thanks to the Facebook group (which is also close to its own little milestone πΈπ₯)
