[@SorenRamsey]

That “hey howya doing, Justin here” is so frickin iconic

[@justinguitar]

Cheers!

[@kayak58]

😊as well as a blanket on the sofa

[@johnc.roberts4261]

@@justinguitar Justin, what is the guitar chair you are using in your videos? Thanks!

[@Fallub]

That hat mic thing is such a great idea.

[@kentlofgren]

That hat mic is brilliant

[@adaltroczguitar]

Really loved all the details, although most things are too technical for me! It's nice to see where and how the magic happens and it's even nicer to see how much thought and passion you put into it!! And having your studio and workflow set in advance allows you to focus on the lessons!! 👏👏👏

[@switch1e]

Cheers for being so transparent about your process, it was super cool to see

[@darrellrobinson9354]

Nice set-up. Funny what catches my eye are the mid-century Barcelona chair and couch and the Eames lounge chair.

[@justinguitar]

Cheers!

[@Potatofella]

the first thing i noticed when i started the lessons is the background and the setup in general it just looks so nice yet not distracting and the lighting kinda blends things up very well really great setup, nicely done

[@annanikia7949]

So interesting how the studio is set up. No wonder you look so natural, great lighting! All critical items for professional sound and video!

[@TheSharkbyte99]

Hey Justin thanks for the insider look at your work environment, it's a reflection of who you are, professional, practical, purposeful, personal and absolutely perfect! Thank you for all the lessons, the amazing app and mostly, the encouragement to learn to play and grow !

[@ronmoore1219]

And there’s something calming about seeing that chair and blanket! Like joining an old friend for a fun visit!

[@spaldingjim]

Hat Mic - Pure Genius. Thanks for all the info.

[@vernfollis2542]

What a wealth of information! Thanks for teaching in a way beginners can almost understand and know what to shoot for.

[@TwoAfloat]

Extremely helpful video! Thanks for making. Aside from the utility of the information, I'm a subscriber to a bunch of your stuff and it's fun to see behind the scenes. I would be grateful if you would either quickly list, or better yet, make a similar video sharing what stock or free plugins you like for recording/mixing/mastering? Maybe do a quick demo of your process like what you did in this episode? Many of us are aspiring to produce our music but most of the available info is for people at a higher level. Or it's for EDM... You're down to earth, very good at explaining stuff, and are an exceptional instructor. Please consider that video, or even just a reply with a list of your favs... Thank you!

[@terryday6734]

Only seems like yesterday, i was watching you just sat on the floor with a camera & guitar. Where does the time go? Anyway, thanks for all you've done. You certainly helped me.

[@junkfoodeater]

I found you when i started playing guitar you had about 30k subs back then, and i was wondering why. Great to see you come this far now with so many subs! you the best!

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

I'm making videos with a couple of GoPros and LED light panels! It's great to see what next-level video production looks like! Thank you for this highly detailed breakdown of each step, Justin!

[@stevesstrings5243]

Great information! I’m a hobby KZbinr still just using my iPhone to record. I keep daydreaming about stepping up to better kit so I t’s interesting to see what a pro like you uses. Thanks for sharing.

[@andyballard1883]

Great setup video Justin, not sure whether it's been mentioned but at about 8min 20 when you were discussing the power distributor off to your right the main a7 took a good 10 seconds to pull focus again on you when you turned back to front facing.

[@michaelchappell6570]

Wow & Wow such an amazing technical tour of your recording studio Justin, now I feel that I am really lucky to watch your KZbin lessons knowing how much work you put into your passion as a Pro Guitar Teacher. I was thinking you were using a maybe Canon Camera with inbuilt Mic, Umbrella Lighting, an iPad and a Guitar Amp.. I have to congratulate you on the way you produce your guitar lessons even a lot of your Song Books which I have purchased from time to time. I heard you say that you started really simple and just kept adding stuff to where it is now, but still you certainly put a lot of work into your passion and us students are really getting such an amazing youtube experience of a lifetime from you Justin. I come from a working experience in IT for quite a long period of time in Technical sales in Sydney Aust. Believe you me your Laptop and App that runs all the Video editing and sounds , images etc would be like a simulator flying a B 777. But now in retirement and playing and learning songs or guitar lessons from Justin Guitar makes me really happy that I found you nearly 8 years ago. It has been a really good guitar journey now I have just acquired a new Les Paul now 9 guitars. A Couple of Questions: How do you keep a constant temperature in your Studio during all kinds of seasons especially for all your guitars? Do you have any Power Back Up like Batteries in case of a storm power outage when recording?. Do you use an Offsite Cloud based storage as back up for all your work & IP such as Apple iCloud or Microsoft One Drive? Thank you for this amazing KZbin Filming Studio Tour. Next we would like to see a youtube version of your Band Workshop in Surrey of How you pull it altogether and get guitarists students along etc.. Take care

[@richardstones6445]

And a quick online price check for the cameras, lenses, and Atmos setup has convinced me that my standard of living is quite sub-standard indeed.

[@bruceringrose7539]

Ha! The lights, I spotted that and thought, that's backwards? I shared your video with my son (photojournalist in TV news and sports), and he confirmed all the lighting, you id'd the main/fill backwards. No worries Justin, excellent, helpful video!

[@robinr22]

The thing that I find so interesting is that it always feels like you're talking *to* someone in the room. Having now seen what you see, I've no idea how you manage to do that with all the equipment pointing at you!

[@widely]

outstanding information! thanks for sharing all the details. and daughter's art space!

[@ironstef2000]

So great to see your background and really interesting to know how the things are made. Thanks a lot for this video. Greetings from France !

[@TT-kf3pk]

Thanks for sharing, I find the technical side and repairing guitars etc. to be as much fun as learning a new song, instrument or even playing live. Good luck with the pedal steel. I have played in a band for many years with my brother. He is a pedal steel player and that instrument can take a band or tune to a different level for sure. I have recently started learning lap steel and it’s so much fun. I like change and challenges to keep it interesting for me. If I get bored I don’t play. I hope to dip into KZbin videos this fall or winter but will be doing more like covers rather than lessons as I am self taught and not very good at the theory side. Thanks for all the great videos. Take care! 👍

[@fpvtv2222]

Nice video Justin. That hat mic is such a cool idea. I have been doing your lessons daily. I have improved a lot. I liked the studio tour to see how it all works behind the scenes. Keep the content coming. Thanks

[@billw8648]

Thank You Justin for a great tour video! I really appreciate that you balanced the volume, even in the old videos. Nothing worse than videos with high and low between a loud guitar and low voice over!

[@andychapman3100]

A remarkable insight from Justin. Thank you for all that you do.

[@EdisonVillelaPor]

That hat mic is sick bro!

[@WillLiang]

Blooper reel!!

[@stevecassidyguitar]

Brilliant! Thanks for this mate - it's been hugely helpful 🙏 I just started Guitar YouTubing in January - the learning curve has been massive! 🙈 Only just started colour grading BEFORE editing that's saved loads of time 🙈 I'm just using my phone for now - didn't want to invest too much in case I gave up after 2 weeks - but I am enjoying it all. Thanks again for sharing your tips and tricks 👍

[@-non-savvyauteurist]

Just, you are the best guy on the Internet.

[@RichardSibley-n1n]

Fascinating insight into your workspace Justin. Thank you 👋

[@alipa3252]

Okay, I got my daily dose of Justin 🙂

[@Jeffreykip]

Wow. Once you are on the computer it is fun to realize I am watching the editing of the very video I am watching: mind blown. There’s a lot more going on that I realized. It makes me as impressed with your production skills as I am your guitar skills and teaching. Very cool.

[@jmcgregor316]

Most enjoyable. Your channel and site are exceptional.

[@johnc.roberts4261]

Thanks Justin! Great “how to” video. I see a previous comment asked about the guitar chair you use. I would be interested to know as well. Thanks so much for all the great lessons!

[@dalleyrick]

This was incredibly generous of you. Immensely helpful.

[@Cowboy_Beep_Da_Boop]

Thank you for the amount of detail you go in! Really helpful! Making sure I favourite this to come back to!

[@TT-kf3pk]

Second viewing was even better , lots of interesting information here Justin. Thanks! 👍

[@sandrathibaultmusic777]

Thanks Justin. I've been waiting for this for quite some time

[@justinguitar]

Cheers!

[@PrakharSrivastav]

Amazing setup and thank you so much for sharing your setup. Really appreciate the details and insight shared!

[@rcieszkowski]

Love this Justin. I always like to see “how the sausage is made” and this didn’t disappoint. So cool to see how far you’ve come since the days of sitting on the floor in the knitted cap. 🤙

[@SergeDesrosiers-b5y]

Rarely see the behind the camera. Great video. Thanks for sharing !!

[@graemescott4714]

Fascinating Justin. Thank you for the insight to your operation

[@itsLhun]

Hey justin, Which is the main chair you use when playing? I find most chairs to somewhat uncomfortable with a guitar, had to remove an arm from my office chair to make it work

[@Wolf4u2]

Been liking your dresser for years, definitely needed for all the extras floating around. Thanks for revealing it's layout, any chance they're available for purchase. Entertaining video, nice to see your immense setups.

[@danieli.9252]

"Batman car"? If only there was a catchy name for it ;)

[@GuitarJoLa]

That was super interesting and fun to watch! A lot of great info, thank you!

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

Finally, that curious itch I've had for years wondering, what does Justin keep in that chest of drawers, has been scratched!

[@fierybones]

Thanks Justin! This was good.

[@MrBritishGent]

The set up may be relatively simple, but the quality is really excellent.

[@brianzelinsky-ri6nd]

Hey Justin this video tour was quite interesting, I really enjoyed it. You do amazing work and I will keep watching and learning. Thank you from San Antonio!

[@BluesGuitarAbsoluteBeginners]

I learned quite a lot. Is there room for more guitar tutorial channels on YT? 😊

[@DeutschlandGuy]

15:45 Looking forward to seeing/hearing your first video on pedal steel, Justin! "Sleep walk" will be a must! 🤗🤗🤗

[@msilv8335]

Eames Chair. Well done, sir!

[@JamesMears76]

That is a really nice setup, thank you for sharing the information

[@cirisirpula152]

Do you like the headrush as guitar monitor? Would it be good for practicing? Also what are you using the bose monitor for? Great video as always, thanks!

[@JucaNeryGuitar]

Awesome :)

[@1noyk]

Thank you…..mind blown!

[@RobinhoGuitarCovers]

Amazing video. I always was curious how your studio and setup looked like. I have a question. I record my guitar cover video's with my smartphone but i want a cheap 2nd screen so i can see myself while I am filming. Any suggestions? Thanks. Cheers

[@Pavel_Franta]

nicest place to play

[@changesinlongitude3690]

Hi Justin, The videos changed my life during the pandemic and put me on the road to playing somewhat proper guitar after years of mucking around, that's why I happily subscribe. But please tell us, what is the story about the blue and tan blanket? That's the cozy touch I always notice in the videos.

[@kevinmartin4787]

Great job!!!!

[@thebigshedart]

Thanks so much for this Justin, some solid gold info there. I dabble with video making for my other channel but want to do more and better as and when I can afford and it's hugely helpful seeing other people's setups. I've been using Camtasia for years, but instead of upgrading this time I'm thinking of giving Final Cut a go, and also switching up to Logic from GarageBand. Been following your channel and site for many a long year (I even have a t-shirt from yonks ago!) and although my guitar progress is very stop start (despite learning for 25 years and counting) every time I get back to it I head straight over to your site. Just up the road from you so may bump into you one of these days and say thanks in person, but meantime "Thank you, and keep doin' what you do so well." 👍🏻 Judy

[@anthonywhite6530]

Thank you for sharing

[@MaurysMusic]

Very cool! Q: Your audio levels look so low in logic (track view). Is it just an illusion because of your choice of "zoom" view on the stems themselves, or is your hat mic coming into Logic super low? Great video all around & thanks for sharing.

[@TroyNaumu808]

Thank You !!!

[@chrisrag1346]

That was a really interesting look into how you make your video's. Often watch your video's when I'm looking at how to play a particular song. Motorheads Killed by death at the moment but I've not been playing very long, so not very good.

[@eri7-11]

Fascinating! New Sub!

[@Kraatzman]

Insightful

[@kalvheps5973]

Whoops I think u answered the question about equipment costs.Amazing set up though!

[@davidhills389]

Thanks for a great BTS video, Justin. What you bounced the audio and two video files over to the video editor, how did you get them to sync up so effortlessly?

[@garymoores9248]

PPPPP...proper planning prevents p!ss-poor performance 😂😂 love the videos Justin 👍

[@mt-qc2qh]

Great overview.... but, how do you like your coffee? 🤣

[@johnnybumpous9108]

wow, a lot of guitars., I only had four, gave two away... only have a Taylor , Gipson and a mandolin now..

[@craigfisher607]

Looking good Justin, have you been hitting the gym?

[@listenu]

U r great 👍

[@dylanhaveron]

Hello Justin, Amazing and generous video that you have created here. Thank you! I am thinking of making a similar channel but for piano, and I am wonder if you could answer a question that was not covered in your "behind the scenes" video. Do you have to pay any publishing royalties when you teach published music on either your website or on KZbin? When I start my channel I am concerned that KZbin will not let me use music that has any copywrite on it. Thanks!

[@DebowyMocny]

I had no idea that you were a Quad Cortex user!

[@sandyhickman8012]

Nice, my voice is pretty soft when I sing and play my acoustic guitar. I want to get a small clip on microphone , would that help and what kind and where would I get? I play just for pleasure and few friends

[@TimothyHuffGuitar]

I was considering becoming a content creator myself but after seeing all of the $$$ $$$$$$ $$$$ you guys put into it, I dont think I would do myself good to try with just my Focusrite audio interface, simple 1080p webcam, microphone, my thetapro, and my guitar lol

[@GuitarTeacherForBeginners]

Hi Justin, just wondered how do you power your cameras. Do you use a dummy battery, the USBc port or just batteries. With you say ing that you use a switcher to switch your gear on. Just wondered if you use any of the above, if so what make is it. Great informative video by the way. All the best WM

[@annanikia7949]

Your daughter plays classical guitar? Would like to hear more about that!

[@digiman57]

Thanks for doing this video. I understood your gear and like you said, you have to start off slow, as the cost to have just the video setup you have is substantial. I use a Canon SLR and a couple of Logic high end cams, into OBS, as I am lazy and OK with less than film quality for now. Lighting, you can’t skimp on though. I do love your main studio desk. Just curious what make that it is? Thanks.

[@RedLikeAnOrange]

Howdy Ho! The strings on the PRS are looking a bit brown. You might want to change them before Xmas.

[@pixstamp]

Maybe I missed it: Are you keeping the original Prores video recordings and if yes, how to you store them?

[@CPF9898]

And all this time I thought you never made any mistakes (editing). lol.

[@BlazertronGames]

Do you still use pedals or mostly the effects on the QC?

[@dickranmarsupialmusic3184]

What an eye-opener! Many thanks for this.

[@PleiadianArcturian888]

wow i thought someone was behind the camera filming you its so studio quality lol

[@kinnanton]

I'm not really a fan of that back light because since you have been using it I thought you started using a green background.

[@GuitarJoLa]

Wonder you have a left handed guitar in your collection?

[@justinguitar]

As written in the Intro here: "I learned to play left-handed so I could become a better guitar teacher. Here's what I found out!" www.justinguitar.com/modules/nitsuj-grade-1-practice

[@GuitarJoLa]

@@justinguitar that's brilliant, lol - thanks for the link :)

[@annie4971]

I have an acoustic guitar LOL 🤓

[@mattevans060972]

I’m strangely disappointed to hear that the hat is not strictly for fashion. 😢

[@ralfybaby]

If it were only for the mike he would not have a hundred different ones 🤣

[@GamerLife-uu3ij]

Hey @JustinGuitar Do you mind if I promote your channel on my website

[@justinguitar]

Thank you. It would be great if you could spread the word, and maybe support the site so Justin can continue helping others like you for many years to come. Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher www.justinguitar.com/donate
