I just ordered a laptop that comes with a webcam, so I'll have my first opportunity to actually record myself and hear what I sound like. Anyway, you guys have been so helpful, and I'd love to show you the product of all your labor, but I feel like I'm too nervous to put anything on the internet of me playing! I was thinking at least I could send something to my mother, but even that is kind of scary.
At least when I play for people, it's kind of redeemable or forgettable if I screw up. If I send a bad video, they can just keep reminding themselves over and over how bad I am.
And do you ever worry that someone you know will find your videos, like a coworker? I would be very mortified if a student found mine. Not that I'm not super proud of my uking, but it's so hard for a young female professor to be taken serious anyway, so having me play a little pint sized guitar on the internet couldn't help matters, could it?
I'm not trying to argue with you, but for anyone who does post videos (and I love them! They are most of what I learn from), don't these things bother you? What are your thoughts about it?
