AARON BACON Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I've Just launched a new chapter of my life online. For bass lessons and all things Bass guitar and bass life. Bacon's Bass Place! Give my YouTube and Facebook pages a check out and let me know what you think! An honest critique is honestly so helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Honest? That font screams amateur to me and I wouldn't bother going any further. Sorry, that's a little harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 The font is ok, quite cool. It’s proper retro and so will actually work for a younger audience (no offence Steve!). when I work on video scripts and project ta you have to grab the audiences attention within a second or two - that’s no exaggeration. If it’s a music video then definitely start with some music! If it’s an instructional video then start with some cool licks. I’m not really a YouTube user for this sort of thing, so I can’t comment on the content really, but given the competition (and the production values of some of the other competitors) it’s worth trying to identify a niche where you offer value beyond those already out there and focus on that. Good luck with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribbetingfrog Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Quite the opposite for me , the font says modern, interesting, with a love of all things 8 bit. I'll check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumple Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Sadly I was put off by the titles, both the look of that font and the fact it's another slap video so I didn't watch it but don't let me put you off though young man That Stingray is a lovely colour.

Sorry, that's a little harsh. Hey man Thanks for the feed back, like it or don't like it, its all super helpful. I was trying to do something similar to what I see the other people in the genre are doing with their thumbnails. This is in my experimental phase still and im trying new things. I've moved more to the same font but more linearly placed. As far as youtube videos go, I'm completely an amateur. This was like my 1st or 2nd video. As i progress and upgrade my equipment hopefully I can start to mask that behind a bit of professionalism hehe On 1/9/2018 at 03:46, Burns-bass said: The font is ok, quite cool.

Thanks to everyone for your feed back, its honestly invaluable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Thank you so much for this. I have never bothered learning slap but sadly for me I have to for a couple tunes in a new band. Your videos are super helpful, clearly explained and you have an engaging, natural style. Fonts and titles serve their purpose, the actual style of the fonts is entirely irrelevant.
