Completely agree

Yeah, tbh I dont really watch covers for entertainment, but to learn the song and watch the person's hands

Thanks 🙏

So glad it helped man 💪🏼💪🏼

Most guitar players probably prefer one angle for that reason. For non-guitar players it’s better to switch angles around to keep their attention. All depends on your audience

Plural eyes

Very true!

Idk if you figured it out but when i would play i would the track through my computer and mime to it. then i would sync up that audio with all the angles and then put my stereo recorded audio cover on those videos and remove the camera audio

yes.. you're recording that sound through the camera and directly into the computer at the same time. Line the audio recording up with the video's audio in the software so that it matches the video and then delete the audio from the video part and render it.

I wish it was my song man, it’s a song by Olly Steele from Monuments.

@@AbelHernandezguitar Hahaha, okay. It makes sense then. Anyway, awesome performance!

I believe most guitarists record each part once and if they're happy with it then all the additional takes would be for getting more visual angles only. I guess each person will have their own preferred process but you don't need to record extra audio takes if you record another angle

This video isn’t about recording music, it’s about recording the video portion of it using your iPhone or a cheap video source. showing you how to record the audio would be an entire video itself, sorry If the title of the video confused you.

@@AbelHernandezguitar No prob, thank you for explaining.

Correct, you have the play the song completely for every angle you take. Then choose the best parts for each part of the song.

@@AbelHernandezguitar thank you very much!

@@AbelHernandezguitar Ok, but Abel - I'm interested in the issue of different (angles / shots) vs (audio shots). Do you record one audio shot without video before recording video shots? I ask this question because your recording from this video ('Balance'!) seems to be recorded in one shot when it comes to audio. The second reason why I ask this question is solos. I like when video shots are exactly the same like audio - because when you vibrating your strings with emotions - it should be the same in audio and video in my opinion. So I would like to record 3 different angles with 3 cameras I one shot and one audio. Because it looks more authentically for me. But I think that your video is great! I think it's because 'Balance' is more-riff song than emotional soloing with a lot of authentic vibrato. Thank You for the video Abel. I would be very grateful for your answer but if not - I will still take some advices from you and your video I'm commenting ;)

I’d imagine they would work just fine

@@AbelHernandezguitar Great! Will probably get those then. Appreciate you getting back to me and thanks again for posting this video. Amazing what the smartphone cameras are capable of now.

@@Burnt_Gerbil Thanks

@@Burnt_Gerbil Does the master audio itself have to have the same clap sound? Or does this only work to sync up the raw footage?

Any Apple apps for editing audio and video? iMovie doesn’t sync perfectly

@@Burnt_Gerbil doesn't this clap only work if all cameras are filming at the same exact time? And not at different times?

I think you record it multiple times from multiple angles then edit it

If at all possible use more than one device for recording. I set up 2 different angles for one take guitar play through. Then with my editing software. Match up the videos and choose which shots I like better. If you have one device for recording then you will have to record multiple times.

Hi! I usually record multiple times, one per angle

But what about the Audio? Is it pre recorded? Or is it a mix of the different takes?

Use filmora..i love it

I use 2 led lights, every room and guitar will be different so I recommend setting up your camera and moving the lights around until you are happy with the look.

Abel Hernandez Thank You so much

One cam, playing it multiple times

I’d say iMovie or any free software you can find if you’re just trying to do basic editing

He is recording through a software. Recording audio through camera/phone won’t work

Tina S covers are 2 angles (wide and close) and bland background and are stellar :-P It all depends on what is the purpose of the video I think

Agreed! I’ve seen videos with one static shot that are absolutely amazing to watch, it’s all about the content in the video.

He meant cell phone as opposed to having an actual camera to film it. You’re gonna need all that stuff regardless if u don’t want the video to look like shit.

The phone mic most likely sounds like balls...so record the song and video in the same try. So when you edit the video, use a movie editor to use the recorded song from your daw with the video you shot on the phone. If you have an apple product you can use garageband for recording songs and imovie to create your video, both are free programs and work 👍🏻
