Poor Scott really could do with a script. If only he could get straight to the point now and again.

That’s his effort at stringing the listener along. Otherwise everyone would click out after 2 mins and he wouldn’t get his revenue.
 

All of these fellow YouTubers that have made videos are doing so to take a slice of the audience share. They may not make money off a video if they share audio from the whatever the guitarist is called, but they get the increase in subscribers and ratings, as well as a boost for their other videos that do make revenue.

 

And as for stealing licks and passing them off as your own, jazz soloists did this way back when. Only difference is they couldn’t transcribe them so easily note for note as most recordings were bootleg. As with any music you create, get it registered on PPL and PRS.

Jokes aside, I am sorry if I came off as condescending, that was not my goal. I do have a tendency of phrasing my stuff in unfortunate manners, but in reality I am less of an arse than I seem.

 

No worries @BabyBlueSoundwe can all do that. Especially on a forum where we are all passionate about music and basses :)

Listening to the Scott podcast, they bring up a valid point.

 

800,000+ people have been taken in by a grifter, when real musicians have been honing their craft and working on building a following for years, this guy rolls up and essentially cheats his way to the top 5. 

 

Half of it is the fault of people who unquestioningly believe what they see on the Internet. Beato was, until the guy was sitting in front of him and exposed.

Miming live is fraud to me. There's something that's been lost by all this and that's spontaneity. None of these clowns can play on the hoof. Like listen to a live album and you hear things being slightly messed up. That's gone now. 

I was watching an Art of Guitar YouTube video about mistakes in recordings, today. Stuff like "Cannonball" by the Breeders. A lot of bands these days would have removed the incorrect slide up on the bass at the beginning, for example.

It depends what the mistake is really.

 

Some people are morons for editing  stuff like that which actually sounds cool. I always say to people I produce, "You can have perfection or personality. You can't have both, so choose." Virtually always, bands or artists will choose the latter.

 

Those who drone on about "getting stuff perfect" are generally nightmares to work with and also have no filter as to decide when "that'll do" is the right thing to do. Then they wonder why it sounds slightly lifeless. Which is why I made a rule to not work on those types of records and weed out those folk.
