Thanks for the comment! I guess I prefer to make YT videos casually for fun, and am not extremely interested in the spotify platform right now.

Great to see a "Behind the Scenes" vlog about your daily life. Vlogging is as much a popular segment these days as music. It was good to see that you meditate and have some other interests too. I recently did an update video where I was just chatting as well, sometime that can be a good way to reach out to subscribers. Folks who vlog don't realize that musicians like us have to learn and practice new pieces, so it takes us longer to get new content.
@MichaelBemmels29 күн бұрын
Good points, Josh! I've lately been more inclined to do larger musical projects that take months to prepare. It feels rewarding for me, but it means there will be many months of silence on my channel.

Dear Michel! That was one of the nicest videos I've seen on YT lately. Very authentic and interesting. Very sweet and well-behaved dog. It's true that pets often have a kindred spirit with their owners. I notice this often... Thank you for your openness, Marianne

Hi Michael Wow this video was nice pleasant surprise to wake up to 😀 You certainly try to live a nice peaceful life and your dog must now feel like the luckiest dog in the word 😊, Consider yourself lucky to be on the thin side too !!! I put on weight frustratingly easy so have to be somewhat mindful!! As re your hair I have few friends with thinning hair who decided to shave off all their hair completely , it actually suits them , You can sing too ! We have that in common as well as passion for classical guitar , Thanks for sharing this little insight to your life
@MichaelBemmels29 күн бұрын
Hi Alan! Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself too. We all have our own pros/cons to manage with our body type, or hair, or whatever. Probably I will start shaving my head a few years down the road. I feel surprisingly curious about re-attempting facial hair now too haha. My dog is certainly very well pampered now! 🦮

Good to hear a well played Giuliani etude set, he wrote a lot of good etudes, mostly under rated now. Maybe you can record Op 51 and some other Giuliani etude sets. No 13 in this set is like a mini drama but you play it in a fairly restrained way, which is probably more correct stylistically.
