I want to live in a world where every musician can say, “My other studio is in the garden of my home.”

[@SLEEP-236]

Brian Whitmer my only studio is in my garden👍

[@BrianWhitmerMusic]

Then you are one full studio behind, BC. Get to work on that!

[@valentinivanov1679]

Just "my" and "studio" does it for me😂

[@M3DD]

I don’t have a garden😞

[@omnipop4936]

My garden is in my studio.

[@michelevisser6811]

I wish more KZbin’s included the part where they go “I’m just gonna sit in the corner, talk to my little camera” 😂

[@CARLTONMOXLEYUnknownpianist]

I'll be discouraged we all have to graduate and he continue to push on

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I love when people say, "I"m very lucky." It shows appreciation for what they have, and in most cases it is simply because they've worked hard to earn what they have. Well done.

[@erragabeljanhaoui4660]

I love you Guy.. You inspire me everyday to make music.. I eat every meal watching your videos. keep up the beautiful work..

[@petersvan7880]

It's easy to understand why there's a smile on your face after entering the airy garden studio. Would also prefer it over the concrete box, treated or not!

[@reeblesnarfle5443]

Location, location, location!

[@enigmasounds]

Thanks, Guy for taking the time to do this - it takes so long to get the nuts and bolts right, and this will help loads of people I am sure, so many Gold Finches.

[@BluemountScore]

This channel is great for both, knowledge and entertainment!

[@RobertRodriguezMusic]

This is possibly one of my favorite TSE videos on KZbin. It not only shows the ThinkSpace studio but we get to see what inspires Guy at home in the garden. Very much appreciated and inspiring

[@francoisBonin-phils]

Wonderful to be surrounded by beautiful birds

[@thabetabu-hammad9212]

Absolutely stunning!

[@shawmedia229]

Thank you, Guy! I was just wondering about your setup yesterday. Love your channel and all you do. Cheers!

[@madwez]

[@A.Celeste]

[@nedjohnson6510]

Very useful, Guy, as is almost everyting else you post.

[@andrewreynolds2647]

Thank you so much for showing me your world and how you work on your music, it has been a delight to watch your energy and enthusiasm for what you do is infectious, thoroughly enjoyable every second of it, i have subbed content as good as yours has to be supported. Thank you once again this has been the best 28m and 19 seconds i have experienced in a long time. Cheers. Andy.

[@michellew.3691]

Beautiful place. Love the birds view too, whenever I have breakfast at home. Thanks so much for the inspiring tour! ❤️

[@stellarstudio5495]

Happy for you, Guy! You're a big inspiration. I just started your How To Write Music course and I'm looking forward to getting started on it tonight

[@albertlinkenhof2006]

I discovered you this week on KZbin Guy! Fantastic videos! I'm going to watch all your videos in the coming period. I get inspiration from this and especially your positive and cheerful energy makes me happy. 👍

[@ExsultoMusic]

[@holgerschulz4104]

I dig your work, Guy! Great stuff every time.

[@TaffmanGuyo]

Pretty wonderful indeed! Continued thanks from along the coast in Eastbourne.

[@musicmanlfp890]

Guy! It looks great! Always did like the shed too.

[@Larsmannetje66]

As ever, a joy to watch! Greetings from NL!

[@draztiqmeshaz6226]

Looks and sounds great man! Your enthusiasm is palpable and even part way through I find myself tidying up my little space.

[@kamlakamla309]

Beautiful studio, Mr. Michelmore.

[@Gedagnors]

Great studio for great Guy! =) Thank you for the inspiration!

[@PopoyLegume]

I discovered your channel a few days ago and completely fell in love. You are charming, knowledgeable, witty... I'm starting to make music again thanks to you, cheers! Long live Harry the pheasant!

[@patrikbaboumian]

Thanks for putting these videos out Guy! I enjoy watching them very much :)

[@robin_miller_music]

This is just fabulously interesting!

[@MichelBarbaro]

I love these work place tour videos! Great!

[@adrimathlener8008]

Thank you Guy for a marvellous tour around both your studios. Give my love to Larry. I for one was very curious about the separate slider box. Now you revealed the big secret :-)

[@mick_hyde]

Thank you, very entertaining and informative.

[@toonfruits]

Just discovered this channel ..... knowledge and entertainment combined. great work - many thx Guy.

[@starlightsign8666]

Great update, fantastic channel!

[@blackforestbeamer]

wow, that look gorgeous! all this light around, pretty nice!

[@manudeteruel]

Congrats! Really nice...

[@Barefoot67]

thanks Guy, another great video!

[@LeeGee]

Oh, I miss England! Sussex is such a beautiful county!

[@claudep.1926]

Keep the great content coming! The "new" studio looks awesome!

[@reeblesnarfle5443]

AND SOUNDS EVEN BETTER!!!!🤪👍

[@slimelabAK]

Great space! I recently renovated my studio as well and it has been an awesome change! Made DIY absorption panels and it feels like a veil has been lifted from my ears.

[@Adztrax]

Always a joy to watch. I'm also in a cabin at the back garden in Sussex 😀. Keeps the other half sane!

[@sohotechcare5299]

You are awesome. I really like the way you work and just how human you are! I subbed because you are good for the soul. Thank you my new friend!

[@ProjectOverseer]

I missed this video when you first put it up ... Decided to catch up today. Fantastic content as always, but such a good laugh too 😆 You're one of my main inspirations ... Thanks Guy 👍

[@patbreacadh]

I really like your garden studio. Best regards and long life to Larry!

[@DanielMichaelSok]

Love your channel and videos, Guy !

[@dafingaz]

This is awesome!

[@nm7869]

I love your garden studio! Take care!

[@Sonic_Ox]

Wonderful studio space Guy. Congrats.

[@frostyfingers9282]

This is delightful. I will hopefully be buying a house with my partner in the future and I was just telling her I'm dreaming of a home studio space. I've never had one. Your shed office is wonderful and I hope I can get something like it myself one day ❤️

[@scottrossgirvan8009]

Thank you. You Sir are the real deal. The best part of your studios is the obvious lack of ego therein.

[@reluctanticon]

I really enjoyed this! thank you!

[@PedalScience]

I too love my Genelecs, HD650s and hammer-action midi keyboards. Great video!

[@Austin4098]

That was fun - Thanks!

[@igorsenayoutube]

Congratulations on the new look, Guy. Very happy for you. When i get to your age, i hope to be as cool as you are and also lucky to have a studio in my garden =) Keep up the amazing work.

[@bitbox292]

Really loved all your videos, you have a great positive energy Best Regards

[@ArtmanBass]

Thanks, Guy, for showing us around your working spaces. I’m in the process of creating a new, let’s call it, mini studio and your tour has inspired me.

[@ThinkSpaceEducation]

great!

[@jacquelamontharenberg]

You know Guy, not everyone can get away with saying I just going over there to sit in the corner and talk to my little camera for a while. I think it is all in the way you say it. Love your channel man....! Great inspiration and just plain entertaining. Yes, I learn something new everyday that helps me either play better or write better... thanks mate... love the sound deadening panels.

[@aliclaviste763]

you are a wonderful person and a great composer

[@julian.morgan]

A few years ago I lived in a house where the only place I could put all my gear was in a conservatory with three glass walls and a twin-wall polycarbonate roof. It's very hard to imagine a worse space in terms of pure acoustics, but I was surrounded by nature and, on late spring nights, I had tawny owl chicks hooting to their parents for food directly over me on the roof, and sliding down the twin-wall to the guttering when they (invariably) lost their grip on the apex. If anyone ever complains about the sound of fingernails down a blackboard I tell them about owlet talons on polycarbonate! Anyway, it was my idea of heaven, acoustics be damned.

[@owaisrehman9930]

Sir you and your studio number one in the world amazing. ..Maasha'ALLAH

[@CharlesK441]

Awesome!

[@sansocie]

I want "A BRAD" looks great. Best wishes to Larry!

[@amitshilo2225]

UR such a young spirit Congrats on the new studio !!

[@erifajyahia5462]

So many video angles ! Actually cool

[@GenuineHeather]

It's so inspiring to be invited into your workspace in such an intimate and candid way. I'm also very fortunate to have a beautiful and inspiring musical workspace, thanks very much to my incredibly supportive spouse. But I'm nowhere near as prolific as you've been. Your videos are helping me become more productive and encouraging me to use my talents to their best effect. The enthusiasm you have for your music and your life is infectious. Thank you very much for sharing your charming world with the unworthy masses. :)

[@helloimrobin]

I do not make music, and I am not a "musically inclined person" but man I love watching these videos. The passion, enthusiasm, confidence and genuine nature is just so feel-good. Guy's like the Adam Savage of music.

[@Ast3rixMusic]

I totally understand the studio makeover idea. I have been working hard to improve the sound of my small room. I am using GIK Acoustic panels as well and just by adding a few I can hear a big improvement in my room. I'm nowhere near being done, but I'm very happy with the results so far. The garden studio is great!!! Even though it's not idea for mixing with all the reflections I understand why you've made it a creative space.

[@LeCVSUVL]

A lot of good points as to why you feel better composing in the shed but let's be real, Larry was the ultimate one.

[@lonewolfanon9310]

Awesome 👏😎

[@tomatengarage5608]

24:27 ...Chimney smokes backwards... :-) Great Video and - as always - interesting information & insights of how you approach everything. Great, and just a pleasure to watch... Getting from Germany. Michael

[@EmpiricalMind]

Awesome setup Guy 👌👍

[@shanewulf2350]

I'm pretty new to Guy's youtube video blogs. He's very entertaining. I really appreciate the way he share's the content. Incidentally, I'm finally getting around to reconfiguring my own Shed into a home studio as well so this is very timely information for me.

[@TheNoiseFamily]

I've only recently found your amazing channel. I really enjoy your vlogs and your fun attitude towards your work. My favourites so far have been your writing in the car wash and the cafe thoroughly entertaining and importantly inspiring.

[@ThinkSpaceEducation]

thank you :)

[@bsrobinson]

Thanks, Guy! It’s lovely to see how this all goes together. I’m film scoring in a tiny box room studio in HK. It’s literally a bedroom. But I love being able to just walk into the room and get started. One day I hope to have a shed! Ive only done 4 features so far, but I hope to get more work as I develop my skills!

[@ThinkSpaceEducation]

Anywhere you can lose yourself in your music is your shed!

[@BluesLicks101]

Happy for you, Guy! You DESERVE nice stuff!

[@ThinkSpaceEducation]

Thank you - thats what I tell the wife

[@leonardoparada]

You have an amazing place for work!

[@dacris_world]

Many greetings from Germany Guy, you are simply awesome! I love your videos!

[@GprokYB]

Guy I really like your music place!!!! It must be really inspiring!!!

[@JPDC624]

27:18 "I won't shoot him, can't speak for the rest of the family" ~ROFL!!

[@Jamespendle]

As a new person to 'composing' basic pop punk tracks, with a modest but evolving home studio, this was such an inspiring watch. Thanks

[@bleesal]

I had to sign in just so that I could say how much I enjoy these videos that Guy makes, and that's saying a lot because I hate signing in. Thanks Guy, for being a goofball like me, and for sharing your knowledge and work with us.

[@ThinkSpaceEducation]

Thank you much appreciated

[@philmarsh5593]

If I was good at scoring and a bit less self conscious (!) I like to think I’d do vids exactly like this. Love it. Moved to rural south Ayrshire and still learning to identify the birds we get in the garden. I love and understand the “good for the soul” thing. Fascinating to see the setup too. And the “boys toys” lights! 😉

[@danmillward7969]

Haha take the man out of broadcasting but you can't take broadcasting out of the man....I love your enthusiastic knock breaking spins to camera two they make me chuckle everytime

[@ricardoposada211]

Me gustan mucho tus vídeos... felicitaciones y muchas gracias.

[@LindaMissad]

I have windows in my studio as well, and even though I've been told they aren't good for the sound, I can't give them up. It makes me happy to look out them at the trees. Thanks for the mixing headphone recommendation -- that sounds like a great alternative to having no windows.

[@davmar9923]

You could hang heavy curtains that could be pulled over the glass when making live recordings and pulled back otherwise.

[@freggo6604]

This is exactly what I was contemplating to ask for... and what do you now... it is already there. It is so much better to hear from a pro what he is using and why, instead of from a salesman with an agenda. Thank you very much!

[@MrGalassi]

I need to travel to portsmouth again and sit in that cafe hoping you'll get it so that i get a chance to meet you. You are amazing! :D

[@rcknicholson]

Love watching you

[@lordwormpie]

Love your happiness!

[@GuidoGautsch]

Appleton Live made me giggle :D Looks like a great space, Guy!

[@johnlannikk2701]

Well Guy you inspired my to send off for the Spitfire orchestral samples etc. Looking forward, means getting my dusty M-Audio keyboard down from the wardrobe shelf! Love music!

[@SteveProbst]

Nice to hang out with you at your place! We built a large-windowed 12x18 writing studio last year overlooking our southern California roses, greenery, and assorted bird feeders. Life is good. Long live Larry! (I'll have to name my favorite bird-or maybe a rabbit or squirrel)

[@tonysansom]

I'm glad your chair looks like that, mine does too. Gives me hope 😂

[@Nicholas_PA]

Hi Guy! Nice overhaul!! So clean and clutter free😎

[@ThinkSpaceEducation]

Yes clutter free is great
