Non-Guitar Nonsense

An informal compilation of sincere, somewhat silly videos and discussions about things I do in my life.
Hope this isn't too boring or off-topic for my viewers. If you aren't interested in it, please just move on and enjoy your day! Thanks for all your support.

Thank you very much Michael for this honest and courageous video. It was really interesting to experience the person behind a great guitarist and composer. 🙂🎸🎶

To me, you have always come across as a kindhearted adult human so no need to try and look older. Thank you for sharing yourself with us strangers.💕

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

[@MichaelBemmels]

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! 🦮

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.

[@MichaelBemmels]

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.

Thank you for sharing this! It's great to remember that there is more to life than the career. Let's hang when I'm in Vancouver!

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thanks Luis! Yes, let me know when you're in town!

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

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thank you, Marianne! She and I are definitely kindred spirits. Very lucky to have her.

After viewing myself in this video, I think I finally understand my personality! ;) 1/4 Classical guitar nerd 1/4 Buddhist monk 1/4 Children's petting zoo 1/4 Mild-mannered silliness

Be thankful for that fast metabolism lol i couldn't gain weight until i hit my late 30s , early 40s now I'm trying to lose 15 pounds 😆

[@MichaelBemmels]

Haha! Maybe my metabolism will slow down in a few years too ;)

[@stevensmith4752]

A beard would easily add ten years to your appearance.

[@MichaelBemmels]

True, I could potentially grow a bit of a moustache and goatee

[@MichaelIbsenGuitar]

Looking your age is also probably overrated ;)
