- I am starting a new series - how to create music and build an audience for it. But first, there is some bad news I need to share with you - no one cares about your music (and 3 other points). Hang in there - there's lots of good news too!

I just do not need all this shit, after playing professionally for years I took down my music from all the distributors, youtube and so on. Although I had an audience I decided the effort is not worth. It's not more fun than baking a cake and throw it out of the window.

Creating music can be just as rewarding as playing golf, tennis, surfing, etc., no one cares about our hobbies but it's self rewarding. And those who we play with create relationships. A lot of joy there.
That’s a great way to think about it
That is exactly the way I see my music. I do it for the self-rewarding of it. Even if I remain at 0 views, it doesn't matter. It keeps me learning in my own music.
It’s a *healthy* way to think about it.
Especially if it's instrumental ambient guitar music. XD
Just saw this! Yes!!!! :-)
"tHiS wOuLd SoUnD bEtTeR wItH vOcALs."
@@Tachtzehn Almost nothing sounds better with vocals. Marginal vocals can ruin a great track easily. Take the debut album from Periphery - breakthrough instrumentals and musicianship blew me away. They then re-released the same album with vocals and it's basically unlistenable.
@@yargnad I'm trying to think of how Animals As Leaders would sound with vocals and I can't do it
@@yargnad Yeah it sounded shit because it was an instrumental album, if you're gonna have lyrics/singing there needs to be room for it. It's like doing an equation and then in the end throw in an additional number. It's not going to come out correct.
Sobering Thoughts:
1. No One Cares About Your Music.
2.Your Music Has No (Intrinsic) Value.
3.Your Music Isn't As Good As You Think It Is.
4.It's Really Hard to Get People's Attention.
Encouraging Thoughts:
1.Artistic Creation is a Value Proposition. Bill's gonna help us create that value proposition in upcoming episodes.
2.Don't Stop Creating. You Can't Say You "Tried" If You Ever Gave Up.
Bonus Thoughts:
1.Bill, You Are Awesome. God Bless You.
remember. it's a really fun hobby. it should be fun
It can be liberating to know that nobody cares about your music.
The pressure is released & it results in more finished material.
This is an important insight. If you wouldn't be making your music if nobody else in the universe understood or appreciated it, then you shouldn't be making music.
I feel you
I used to think my music was so good people might even steal it. Then I realized that nobody cares about my music. Not even friends and relatives. Soundcloud is just a storage closet of nuclear waste. Even if it was good ,nobody would click it. So try your worst. Use the harshest VST presets. Add reverd and fool yourself one more time.
@@swordsheldhigh7934 thanks i needed to hear that haha
You should liberate yourself by going into a room by yourself and write and play the best material you've ever created for only yourself and never record any of it. Because after all it's liberating to know no one will hear it right? SMH
You are a gem of a human being. You're like the Bob Ross of ambient guitar music. Never stop.
Keenan Crow 😂bob ross is ultimate chill
Bob Ross,,, hA ha h haaaa He Loved His Painting
didn't He...
I did toooooooo.
Good Simile
spot on! hahaha enjoyable, soothing and wise advice.
I wonder how many paintings Bob Ross sold?
Great video, I just released an EP and pushing it with little to no money has been difficult but it’s humbling. No one cares is something that I’ve grown to accept and actually feed off. Having no one waiting or even wanting your next release really frees you. I can go anywhere musically because there’s no expectations. I actually embrace it. If I was suddenly popular I wouldn’t even know what to do with that. Being an outlier is lawless and more fun to me. That said , a few fans wouldn’t suck.
How does knowing that no one is anticipating or even cares about what you spent time creating, that produced and made copies for others to hear who won't hear it freed you? The statement is oxymoron.
This is a good way to look at it. I-m constantly bummed about those facts when I release new work... but then again I swing from pop to extreme metal to indie to grunge.. so I guess it's good that I'm not driving fans off :)
"No one cares about your music"
Sucks but true. The good news, nobody "Hates" your music either.
If nobody hates your stuff, that's even worse. If people hate your stuff at least then you're getting noticed, otherwise you'll get ignored.

Great idea for a video and a series. Really looking forward to the next one.
"No one cares" is so true. My wife doesn't even care about my music. Fortunately, she cares about me.
My wife likes my music.
My music loves my wife.
@@nickm2046 Mine too.
my neighbor loves my wife when I play music
@@andresserpabeares7032 You are a bad man. Or your neighbor is. Unless your neighbor is woman.
I played guitar from 1991 to 2002. Heartbroken I didn’t touch a guitar again until 2018. I decided I wanted to write and sing again. I’m 48 and with technology it’s an amazing time to return.
My goal is one song a month. I want to share my journey thru the scriptures with others. I was actually playing and recording yesterday and unhappy with my results.
This video was what I needed. Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much and you got a sub.
Nobody cares about that one song a month. But good luck with the hobby!!!
@@AP530 Thanks for being honest. Anything you forgot to say when you were speaking your mind?
@@kevinobrien3888 I was just reiderating the point of the yt video in a funny way. I didnt mean it disrespectfully as it was sarcasm. Im in the same boat as you coming back to creating music after a long break. The bottom line is to create music/songs becuz u love to create and do music - not becuz of other ppl buying it or caring about it. Do it becuz u like to do it. Best of luck to you bro
@@AP530 I appreciate the clarification and no harm done. Yea, I'm sure people won't care what I do except a small handful.
Nice one. I started a FB group with some old musician friends, We all had to submit a song a month with a self critique on what we'd done. Got us producing a volume of work, and the more that happens with critical analysis, the higher the quality (perhaps!). Good luck and enjoy the creative process!
MY MOM DOES, OK?
i know she does...
My mom said I was the smartest boy in my class. Of course, I was home schooled.
My mom does not even know the kind of music I am making. She'd be shocked to hear such a thing because she never die before.
Vincent Van Gogh Never sold a single painting in his life. At least now if you put your songs on the internet people may find and like them long after we're gone, That's as good as it gets.
Until they take down the internet
Wise words indeed, Bill. I'd also add; create for yourself otherwise you might end up churning out soulless product that you are not happy with. Believe in what you do and follow that track.
If it's properly packaged and promoted it will sell even if it's crap😀
It will sell OnLY if it’s crap.
I like what Lemmy from from Motörhead said yeeeaaaarrrrrsssssssss ago about music, starting a band, and getting your own shit “out there”: “Raise your flag and see who salutes it.”
Haha words of wisdom from the wise Lemmy. He is missed.
Meanwhile some of us only care about music.
In fact, I've been thinking about this topic for quite some time and thanks to letting go certain pretensions my music has been flowing a lot.
Thanks, Bill. Always an inspiration :)
Thank you for sharing this. It’s definitely an eye opener. Plus the vibes in your videos makes me feel so welcomed.
Thanks for this. I really like what you have to say, but also you as a human being have a lovely engaging manner, and you have a lot of integrity.
Thank you for this video,very grounding. These aren't new ideas to me but it's good to be reminded
Bill, you're such an inspiration. I really love your work and also all of these wise words you share with us. Thank you!!
Bruv I've been watching your pickup comparisons since so long ago. All the best.
Thank you for these inspiring words of wisdom and insight. Look forward to hearing more. After 42 years of living I decided that I have no excuse for not trying and to stop criticizing my work. So I just started a youtube page and started creating and sharing my music. It is amazing how just doing it has helped me with encouragement to keep going and progress.
This guy is good!
Realistic perspective is critical.
I for one, am truly grateful for what you do, Chords of Orion.
Thank you for insight that is absolutely necessary for growth.
Thank you also, for your amazing music!
I didn't think my question would get this kind of in depth answer. Thanks , you're awesome :) I guess I've just been too impatient when I posted that comment a couple of days ago and I should have known, that it takes a lot of time to get people to pay at least a slight amount of attention, let alone get some feedback on your work.
Just a quick update: By now, some people have reacted rather positively to the music. Only two, but that's two complete strangers who actually found some value in something I really love doing, which really is an empowering thought. Even if that hadn't been the case, I would have continued to play, record and maybe even release music. Playing instruments and fiddling with pedals is just to much fun to stop doing it :)
Again, thank you very much for taking the time to react and even taking the time to make a video. I really appreciate that :)
Hey Stephan! Glad to hear you got some reaction to your music. It is a long process. As I will share in future episodes, the growth in interest in my music was VERY slow at the beginning.
Hey Stephan! You should post a link to your music in the comments section of this post, I feel like the would be several people interested after watching this video.
@@TylerDelaneyReed Yea, I thought about that, too. But I just wanted to ask Bill's advice and I didn't want to use his video or comment section to promote my own music. And Bill delivered in terms of advice, so I decided against it ;) But if you're interested, you can find the EP that sparked my initial question to Bill on my TH-cam-Profile. It's the one called "Magpie Souls - Petrichor [EP]". There's also some external links in the header, should you prefer Spotify or Bandcamp for listening :)
Thank you so much, Bill. I feel humbled yet also inspired to get off my duff and start creating again.
You're such an inspiration mate! You always find proper words. We've all been through this, or going through it atm and in the name of every musicians in the world. THANK YOU FOR THIS BILL!
Never stop doing what you do!
I enjoy all of your videos, but this one is particularly helpful to your fellow musicians. Great job, Bill.
Thanks, Bill, for a great start to a promising series. A value proposition for sure.
you are amazing! keep inspiring us! you made me rebuild my studio and pedalboard and get back to it.
This is a conversation that is so needed. Thank you!
Really glad I found your channel! I was initially just looking to find some instruction on effectively using an ebow, and instead found a great source of inspiration. Thanks for what you do!
"no one cares about your music", come on TH-cam recommendations, you too?
This was by far the most positive video on my youtube recommendation list.
It's true, nobody cares until you play a cover.
Fuking covers...
antonio bortoni fuck covers 😂😂😂
Thats why I only do Yoko Ono covers - cuz fucc them
I know what you mean. Most people like only what they already know, very few are looking out for something they haven't heard before. That's why I play my music first of all for my own enjoyment and expression, if someone likes it, great, if they don't, not my problem! If you really do want their attention, play them a cover or two and then lay some of your own stuff on them, I've found that works quite well.
@@yobrojoost : Larkin Poe is a pair of sisters who play what they call "roots rock", they have a series of covers that they do brilliantly but with zero production in very informal settings all the way down to a shower stall and it has attracted them a lot of attention for their original music.
The quote from their channel:
"*Welcome to Larkin Poe's "Tip o' The Hat" video series. To build a fire of creativity, you need fuel. As artists, we aspire to keep learning the songs that move and inspire us. Art begets art. While we’re at it, we want you to share in the experience - these are some of the songs that have shaped us.*"
@@gileshabibula7006 Larkin Poe sounds like someone with a cleft pallet trying to pronounce Linkin Park.
I love your ambient acoustic stuff! I appreciate you!
I just love you as a person, very sympathic, profound full of love ! You are a real inspiration for me. Thanks
Thank you for the wise words. Good time for reflection.
You just proved with this video, that not only are you a great guitarist, but also a great philosopher
It's not really philosophy. He just told us what we already know. But when somebody tells it to you, you become more aware of the truth. It's like a confirmation of your suspicions. That's far more to do with psychology than philosophy. Just saying. Not criticising. We all sometimes need other people to tell us things we already know. It does feel like opening your eyes. Cheers. ;)
He didn't prove either of those things here,
Thanks for the info. Look forward to this series.
Thanks for that instructive episode, I really enjoy to share the same thoughts as you. I wish you good luck in creating music and building your audience!
This is a good video, Bill! Great thoughts - thanks for sharing.
Robert Renman watches Chords of Orion? That's awesome!
@@AntoineMichaudGuitar I do! I want to learn more about creating this kind of music!
@@Dolphinstreets Awesome!
I love how you can tell these hurtful things and then instantly dissolve the pain with giving a first step on how to overcome the pain with the right attitude. Far more motivating than the same motivational talk over and over again would have been.
That's it exactly! The great thing is that the rest of the steps and tips that I am sharing, while they are a lot of hard work, can really help to overcome the "grim realities" in this video.
Thank you! This is excellent advice and is helpful for visual artists like myself as well.
Thanks, Bill! Looking forward to the rest of the series😊
Great video! I had open heart surgery 3 years ago and lost my dad directly afterwards. Was very depressed and stopped writing for awhile. Glad to say I started creating/writing again, helped in my recovery!
Sorry for your loss Matt, shine on !
Great stuff Bill! Inspirational Sir... Thank you :)
Thank you, Bill. That's some great advice. Sometimes you have to come to grips with the reality of the situation before you can accomplish something positive. When I did my first (and only) album, it was therapeutic. But it was really only for my friends, family and myself. Perhaps that's still true, but I'll be interested in where this series goes and decide how to apply it to my music moving forward.
Bill, thank you. For everything. I’m so very excited for this series.
I play music because it's fun. If people like it cool,if they don't - oh well.
It’s so true, but it’s always a wonderful journey to have own instrument and just enjoy it!🎶
Absolutely true!
Been wanting to make a vid on this exact topic, too, Bill. I spent 15 years playing and touring in bands and never developed much attention. I started a channel about two years ago, teaching people what I know about lofi/indie rock music production, and as an unintended consequence, I’ve had the most interest in my music in the past two years than in those other 15! The biggest difference: I’m now providing people with actual value. It’s a harsh and sobering truth but you are 100% right: our music doesn’t have any inherent value. But there’s an immense amount of value in teaching others how to make their own music and there’s a good chance they’ll become a fan, collaborator, and/or friend in the process. Get yourself out there, show people your work, and most importantly teach people what you know how to do. Cheers, Bill 🤓
Lovely video Bill, wise words indeed! Finding a path in the jungle of marketing music and finding your community is a mountain to climb. But if you don't walk, you don't reach the top. Step back to step forward! As long as you walk the path. Balance! You got some precious content, keep rocking! Thanks!
I have left guitar for some years in order to pursue other disciplines. This week I have decided to search for one in order to work on some ideas I have, and in addition to your sobering(reflects my mindset totally these days) message, you have inadvertently reminded me of my long forgotten ambient guitar ideas!!!! I´ll be famous undoubtedly :P
You have a new subscriber.
I think we all feel humble when we listen to the late Great Sir Maestro Holdsworth May he R.I.P. 😆 thank you for taking the time to teach us lessons you’ve learned! Music really is a tough business!👍
I love your channel and all of the wisdom & insight. Keep it coming!
Thanks very much!
Couldn’t agree more. Coming to terms with idea that it doesn’t matter beyond what your music does for you is a big step, but ultimately very liberating when you get there. It’s something I continue to work on. It’s nice to get feedback, whether positive or negative, but it’s not the fuel that drives my creativity.
Most music isn't very good.
It's a rare element just like gold, silver, or diamonds. It takes many different forms of colossal energy to form it be it cosmic or spiritual and it's usually indefinable.
That's only the beginning. A lifelong commitment and endless work must follow. Even then there's no guarantee. And it sure as hell isn't fair when someone like Buddy Holly who was exploding with talent has to die while some flash in the pan manufactured talent can turn one annoying short lived hit into a lifelong lucrative career.
It's simply one of the toughest nuts to crack.
But for me, it's like being in the mafia. Once you're in, there's no getting out so I refuse to give up and as I move forward, I hope to attract the magical forces and elements to bless my efforts somehow.
Feel free to check some of my recordings and demos on my channel at Jack Sutherland.
Be a legend in your own mind
Underrated comment mate.. Wish we were friends.
💜
Wow and wow and simply wow! Thanks!!!! Such a reality check and you are absolutely right and spot on! I still wish to find a better way to get feedback for sure...
Great video! Great idea and great channel at all! Thanks
Tough love a lot of musicians need to hear. For 99% of us music is an expensive hobby not a job, and thats ok.
Not true at all.... my mother thinks I am INCREDIBLE! 🏆😂
Well - I suspect your mother is probably a great lady who loves her kid(s)!!
This series is going to be super helpful! Really looking forward to it. Thanks for such wise words, Bill
Any aspects in particular that you would like me to cover?
@@chordsoforion I would love to hear your thoughts and tips on how to build an audience. Just starting out, its hard when you have low numbers of followers on TH-cam or Instagram or Twitter (like I do 🙂) ... so how can we get those numbers up without spamming our friends? How about a Chords of Orion ambient music festival!
Thanks so much Bill! I haven't recorded anything in a few months and had been feeling pretty down about my music and you inspired me to go pick it back up again :)
....and then you start reviewing gear and all of a sudden you have thousands of followers. I refuse to go down that way but continue doing my quirky stuff that only a handful of people genuinely like.
Great thoughts you share with us.
Ludwig Kopp You’re right: at the end of the day, people like your reviews not your music. Aimee Nolte wonders why no one buys her new album. She’s got millions of followers but we love her teaching not her music. Having a good teacher is still rare and expensive. She does it for free, she’s a good teacher and a beautiful person. But still, thousand of followers don’t care about her music. Sad but true.
It was still possible a couple of years ago. I’d say when myspace was still on top. People would really listen to your music. Now promoting=spaming. It’s over. We just give our monthly 10€ to spotify and that’s it. I will give an ear to your quirky stuff. Maybe?
@@anyversionofme that sums it up.
It is difficult to get through the oversaturated audience. So going with a small selected audience is eventually the way to go.
You're always welcome in my humble music corner.
For anyone hoping to have any kind of success in music, art, etc... this is some of the best advice you're ever going to get. Watch this video 2, 3 or more times until it sinks in. Yes, the reality is harsh but it's the reality of the music biz and understanding that will leave you better equipped to get some traction. It's not easy... it's a long, slow, multi-year process but the good news is that it's very doable ! I've built a large loyal fan base in the art world doing exactly what Bill talks about in this video. As I said, it's a harsh reality but that is why so few succeed. Talent is only a small part of making it in music, marketing yourself(building your tribe) is equally or maybe more important than raw talent !
Thanks for sharing your wisdom marti!
Indeed Marti, marketing and 'branding' yourself is as important these days as anything. A storyline that dovetails into the music. Also, in rock these days, it is getting tougher because of censorship...the artist that can boomerang this back onto the establishments penchant for banning all things that don't fit the status quo they concieve will win (as I hint around to my brand).
Well put Bill! I believe (for me) as long as I care and value my music, what and how I play, then I've achieved for myself what I set out to do. If others hear my music and care and value what I have done, then that's a plus for me. Thank you for all you do and keep doing Bill!
12 really fantastic minutes,
full of so many real things, that analyze not only the "Music factor",
but are reflections applicable to our way of living these times today.
Thank you.
And yes, always create. 🎶✌🎶
I just love these truth bombs because they make me smile on the inside knowing that the gut feeling I carried inside all this time is coming to be true but that's ok too. It is hard to learn to like new stuff and i even cringe at some people's music. Another problem is that in today's society we became too closed minded and closed in general as compared to just what it was like a few years ago not to mention few decades ago. The idea of free music downloads and MP3's finger surfing for best stuff made us uncaring and indifferent.
i've been watching this guy for a couple years now and i still think it's amazing how he never says "umm". amazing content, i don't even play guitar
He did say "gosh"...
Thank you for these insights. I was having kind of an existential crisis about my own music and this was exactly what I needed to hear.
Bill, you are such a great artist, and educator - truly inspiring. Genuinely excited for this series - I've already started taking notes! 🙂
Great video my friend! 😃✅
I was not expecting this to be so positive. It is exactly what I needed to hear at this juncture in my life. I just subscribed. I'm in.
Thanks a lot for sharing your toughts on this matter. You are such a gentle man, the whole thing sounds a lot less intimidating. Gratitude.
I've never cared about the fact that I basically have no audience. I'm doing what I want, putting it out there for free. If people want to listen to it. Fine. If they don't care, that's fine too. I had fun making it and I enjoy listening to it. So, that's okay.
Im happy with the few that listen to my stuff. It's not for everyone anyway.
You’re awfully harshly honest. It hurts to hear. Meanie! ;)
I don't know how and from which part of this video, you taught me about "value"...it's so important I think...having a perception about creation and value! I'm a musician myself but I felt that value you are talking about. It's a critical point for self-development. Thank you so much. I don't care that they don't care, this is my process to understand myself. This is the VALUE!
Was going to ask how to overcome the fear of starting...but what you said at the end nailed it. Thanks Bill.
I solo over my own chord progressions and it's almost more pleasurable than sex. Nobody ever hears it but me and I'm fine with that.
I do the exact same thing man- my family and friends are all" dude, that shits amazing!! You gotta put that out there"- hmmm- ok- how?
ps - The late great Allan Holdsworth was a great choice to cite to demonstrate that even musical geniuses might have to starve for their art.
Thank you for this video. I needed to hear this. 🤍 you are a wonderful human being.
totally needed this! thank you so so so much!
At the end All That matters is having fun making Music en feed your own soul with IT.
agreed
Is it all that matters? I agree that it is fun to have fun, however, sometimes, well most times for me it can be hard work creating original music. So, imo, it’s not always fun, but at the same time, it is always rewarding to be on a path of discovery. It’s more like letting my heart feed my music.
@@rayjayvids I AM not saying it's always easy to make Music.Offcourse IT can be hard to sometimes . I havent touched my guitar for 2 month simply because my mind was not ready But when the good Days Come i Will pick IT up and have fun.For me personally it really depends on your mood and mindset. You don't want to hear me playing on bad days neither do I.lol
Smoke a danky, turn it up to 10 and just jam :)
Oldguyjammin I just did the same, I love your advice
Fantastic video, really enjoyed the message, the delivery and quality. Looking forward to seeing more in the future.
Can't wait for further episodes!) It's right in time!
And so you start selling T-shirts and mugs.
Super video thank you. Can I call you Sir Davos ^^
Lol I was thinking the same
@@aitorr5292 ^^
I love your videos. This one is brutally honest, but so true. I'm trying to start a teaching channel on youtube, and it's quite difficult to get it out there. This series is a great idea. I love the way you play and write, very ethereal. You have a cool style. And, I think your music is wonderful. Oh, and I also love your pedal reviews too.
You are a great teacher Bill.
I loved this video. You actually reminded me everything I should be reminded of. I easily get disappointed and stop creating when I receive a negative critique or when people don't care about my work (it doesn't matter what type of work, computer software I make or the music I record) and what I learned from your video is that I shouldn't be like that. And I appreciate the point you gave me. Thanks a lot.
A little anecdote:
When I was young, I met an elderly well-known poet. I was a beginner writer then, and he did actually read my short stories, which in itself was like an accolade. ;) I asked him whether he would advise me to continue. He told me directly and mercilessly: "Forget it. You are completely untalented, and you will never master the craft of a writer".
Only years later did I learn from this poet, may he rest in peace, that this was his standard answer for all novice writers. "Anyone who asks whether his writing makes sense either wants to make a fast career as a writer - or he means it damn serious. In the first case, he is prone to give up after my answer anyway, and to do other crap. In the second case, he will go to work with double the zeal ."
I was the second case :)
Which is to be said in the sense of "never stop creating!". Thank you, William.
Greetings from, well, Germany…
You can always go the GG Allin route and do insane lifeshows for attention.
Point 4: You've got my attention 😂. Awesome video and I'm looking forward to the series - completely agree with everything you said (especially that we all have an ego as musicians - we wouldn't be putting stuff out there if we didn't). I'm inspired to keep creating music on YT and other platforms by videos like this one 🙂.
Hi Bill--As for your point #4, well, you certainly got my attention with the title of this video! It really hits home. Looking forward to further episodes.
The Four Noble Truths ;) LOL
You should think about changing the name of your channel to “Wisdom with Uncle Bill”.
Always got time to listen to wise Uncle Bill.
Great video. You're saying what I've been thinking. The thing with recording is it gives us a chance to be honest with ourselves. Video with audio is more interesting. But as for creating it's been said to write 5 bad songs every day. You'll be in the practice of moving words and music around. Eventually your sensibility and good taste will create something beautiful.
Very wise words! Chuckled when you brought up the pedal and subsequent second pedal haha please don't stop
