Post #3

A subject matter that I discussed in my first post was about exposure to lesser known artists and that's something I would hope to be able to have an impact on if I did have a guitar curation channel. One priority for me if I were to ever make a YouTube channel for classical guitar music would be to help the the lesser known artists get their name out there. This is a something that I would not take lightly because one of my favorite guitarists on YouTube by the name of Daniel Volovets plays some of the most beautiful guitar I've heard yet he only has 2k subscribers on YouTube. Just as an example, this one of his original compositions called the 'Fantasie for Don Quixote' named after the story. Structurally, the song takes a lot of influence from flamenco and Spanish styles of guitar playing. This is just one of the many creative and original songs that Daniel Volovets has made, and there are many artists out there with outstanding skill level, but just haven't received the exposure on the internet that they deserve.

This is something that I can empathize with because I know that there are many of those starving musician types out there who are living paycheck to paycheck off of side-jobs like being a music teacher or teaching lessons. As an aside, my guitar teacher was one of those struggling musicians that was surviving paycheck to paycheck off of teaching guitar lessons, so I'd love to be able to help out those kind of artists because it's something that I've seen kind of firsthand.
