Austin, I've been watching a few of your videos and I've really enjoyed the content. It's shocking how few subscribers you have. but keep going with it!
Hello this is Sludgebob from Le Tik Tok. Wow very interesting your thoughts here. I think that you have definitely inspired me to take guitar a bit more seriously, myself. Bass is cool and all, but you can have more than one guitarist in a band and not really more than one bassist. I should put my eggs in different baskets i guess. With the comment about people listening with their eyes, I really don’t listen to music other than jazz, and I see live performances of jazz all the time. I know guys who play on strats, les Pauls, hollow bodies. Hell, I play on a silvertone u2. So it’s interesting to hear that rockists would put “shapes of wood” in boxes like that. The whole male dominated thing is the sad truth of guitar. Outside of some punk scenes the barrier of entry to guitar seems much much higher for women than for dudes. I have heard this experience from lady musicians I work with and listen to. electric guitar and rock music is very very very male dominated. This is even baked into the original music criticism, which sucks because rock music was supposed to be a rebellious response to popular culture, yet there is sexism running rampant. As much as it pains me, I have to give credence to bands like Pearl Jam for standing against this. Anyway I’m yapping tonight!
LOL are you trying to pick up women on Tiktok live?? Haha but your gender stats are wild, 99.6 of 812 subs leaves me and 3 other women 😂 Tiktok is wild though; I've been doing a lot more reel/shorts content on my channel/insta and it's been a great boost in views but the time limit sucks personally--glad you're doing good on live!
@@Randolphguitars Definitely 😬Getting a solid foothold is so confusing in this generation of algorithms and things; what's your insta and I can bring you up a follower lol

You just made me look at my analytics - 72% men on TikTok and 99.4% on TH-cam 😂
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed lol

Good shit
I don't do the other forms of social media, so I'll do my best to watch and like your TH-cam vids when I can
I don't blame you at all, and I appreciate you very much 😊
To me the real gigging musician can go on tik tok and thrive. But you gotta be fairly decent obviously

I've been trying to build up my followers on Instagram in case Tiktok does end up going away but boy howdy it's hard to start from scratch again
