Quite frankly, this is probably the most clear, concise, no BS reasoning and I fully wish you the best mate! I'll certainly still be around to support and watch you, and for whatever's going on I hope things turn for the better. Very glad to hear you've got things planned, and I'm excited to see what the future holds! c:
As a company that has worked with you and as a big fan of your content personally I wish you the very best. Been in the same place multiple times and it's the only right decision to take your time to recharge your batteries and take a look at everything from a distance while taking care of yourself and your loved ones! Not gonna lie: I'll miss your content and your scientific in this youtube world built on buzzwords but I'll just look forward to your return! Take care
All the best - you explaining that you don't need to explain yourself is exactly the right thing to do! You do a great channel, hope you don't sweat over the rebuilding stuff yet and actually take the break though! 🤘🏴
Hey Colin, I'm looking forward to what you have in store and more importantly, how you feel when you've gotten the rest you need and gotten everything back in order. I speak for myself of course, but here's hoping to see more custom work and Axe from the Grave series stuff, but whatever you produce, I'll watch! Best of luck!!!
Hey Colin. I think that I have commented on MAYBE 3 videos in my entire youtube watching career. But I just wanted to say that you are one of my favorites. I discovered you during the pandemic and watched many of your back catalog during that time. It got me through. Get well bud. Take as long as you need. I appreciate you and I'll be here if/when you come back.
Taking time away from making content is terrifying. I haven't gone a week without making at least two videos in over four years and it's not good for you, and it sucks a ton of the fun out of making a video. Regardless of what's going on, I hope you can take some time to enjoy being away from the platform. See you in '24
It’s actually a good thing for you to make this decision and let us know, you might just put it into perspective for someone else who might not realize they need to do the same for themselves. Big cheerz from ya boi in Wisconsin!!!
As one of the tea drinking, trouser wearing C***’s that watches, I’ll still be here when tryouts get back. I will say however, I have Scottish heritage and drink too much Irn Bru, enjoy a proper scotch whiskey and wear a kilt when the opportunity arises in my clans tartan. Take it easy man 🤘
I'm glad you're able to say that you're struggling and that you can recognise it and act. Mental health, especially among men, is becoming less of a taboo because of things like this. Big man hugs and I'll see you when you make a triumphant return to the interwebs! And if anyone is reading this and is struggling, you're not alone.
WOW! Thank goodness for an honest, socially responsible tuber... Really appreciated that my brother. I've recently taken up wood working to try and maintain some sanity in the absence of "real work" and money lol.. Peace love n loud stuff!
Colin, you are an inspiration in so many ways. The algorithm must have sensed me and mine feeling a similar way when it served this video front and center today, and we draw confidence from the example you are setting. My very best to you and those you love as you navigate the next little slice of spacetime. Your work is valuable to us all, but even more so, your health. Take the time you need. You will be welcomed back when and if you are ready. Take good care.
Cheers from 'Down-under' (NZ). Thanks and have learnt heaps from 'CSG'... Have a 'Good One' and start the day with Scots Porridge Oats ! 😋 Can't go wrong with such a recipe ! 🤠...
Hey amigo! Thank you for all you do and you deserve a break! You helped me get through the Pandemic and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you for it. Take your time and do what you need to do. Take care and I look forward to what else you come up with down the road.!😎👍✨
That's such a clever decision, Colin. I had to make the same thing one year ago, just about the same month! And it worked really well. Indeed we need to take some steps back in order to keep things flowing as they have to. Wish you all the best and thanks so much for all these amazing info you provide. Cheers!
I view you stepping away as a positive move for you and wish you the best. Good luck with whatever you’re going through and I hope things get better. We love you!
Hell yeah! Go take care of yourself brother, can't wait to see what the new year brings. Much love from the US, and DAMN THE ENGLISH!!! SCOOOTTLLAAAAAANNDDD
BREAKING: Hamza Yusuf challenged for leadership of SNP by 'Colin from TH-cam'. Colin claims the SNP should be focusing on 'preparing to cross Hadrian's wall with Claymores'. More as the story develops.
Don't think I've ever seen anything you've done that wasn't outstanding. Point is, you are an outstanding internet-person and you deserve to feel as such, as a person. You've always been good to us, the viewers, so please be as equally good to yourself. Cheers.
WTF, you OWE YOUR VIEWERS REGULAR ENTERTAINMENT FOR FREE. Hopefully the sarcasm came through ;) If ya need time, take time. Enjoy the holidays, relax, spend it w/ fam, take a break. Look forward to more videos in 2024.
Yes..... You do you for you, brother.... ..... will be waiting for your healthy and happy return. ... well explained.... you got this.... ..... thank you. Yes.
Oh Aye! Are you secretly about to invade England? I invaded 25 years ago and they've still not noticed! Take care o' yersel, hae a wee dram and enjoy your time away! Slainte!
Good on you Colin, you're obviously making a sensible decision and may I say a big THANK YOU for your entertaining, informative but above all HONEST videos... top chap, all the best!
Noo you are abandoning us you are the devil Just kidding. All the best wishes, we'll see you when you get back 😊 (PS. I don't know that your channel needs a refresh. My favs were the more technical explanation vids, I just want more of those.)
Howdy Colin, glad you’re basically OK. Phew! Load off my/minds I can tell you, sir. ; ) On the serious side, all that matters is you were kind enough and professional enough to let us viewers know you didn’t drop off into the ether leaving some to wonder what happened etc. Go! Care for what truly matters in life and return if you feel like it when time is right. Thanks for what came before. Best to you and yourn.
Do what you need to do fella. You and your family come first, TH-cam should never encroach to the point of being a negative in your life. Have a great rest, and come back stronger fella!
All the best to you, Colin. Enjoy your' 'down time' with the family and I look forward to your' return in 2024. Oh and here's wishing you an anticipatory a very happy Xmas and Hogmanay for 2024 😁
Colin, I enjoy the channel - I mean, with the same first name I have no choice, right?? 😂 - but, as with all things, the key is that to make everything work, you have to put you & your family first. No, "if's", "but's" or "maybe's". So, enjoy the break, take the time you need, have a great Christmas break (from an Englishman!!😆) and even more so New Year's Eve & we'll see you in 2024 with this exciting content... in the meanwhile, there's plenty of videos already up here that we can re-visit. Cheers
Man, utmost respect respect for this video. Although we love your videos you owe us absolutely nothing and least of all a justification for putting yourself first. Wish you all the best! From an English, trouser wearing c***.
I knew it would be an apology video as I didn’t see a ukulele in your hands, but yeah DAMN THE ENGLISH! 😂 Enjoy your break, we’re all looking forward to your return 🤘
G'day Colin, Just sending you & your family my best wishes. I'm going to remain 1 of your loyal subscribers, & will look forward to your return. Take care mate Andrew
Be well good sir, may the journey before produce good fruit and healthy growth, and when you return, may it be a glorious and joyful occasion. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hey man! I sincerely hope everything's going well / will go well for you in the future - take all the time you need. I know you probably see that a lot, but I'm an OG; I've been around for probably 9ish years, and have no thoughts in my mind to leave now. I still remember when "Will it ever shred??" was the big meme on the channel, lmao You're a great guy, and you put out great content for us. Anyone who isn't okay with waiting is just a damn fool imo :D take care of you, and come back when you're ready
I've liked, commented, subscribed, and clicked the notification button so that when you return, the ever- changing whims of the TH-cam algorithm will notify me! Take care of yourself, relax, and we'll see you next time!
Hope all is well Colin. Just recently came back to all the good guitar youtubers and of course you're on the list. Catching up with your vids and enjoying them all immensely. I'm originally from Glasgow, but I've been living in a whale's vagina, oh I mean San Diego since 2004. Anyway looking forward to your return and keep your chin up mate. If you're ever out Socal way let me know and we'll go for a taco. Awe ra best, James.
The Word says put God first then your spouse then your children and then everything else being that this channel is in everything else category, bro do whatever you got to do man anybody who has a problem with it is just selfish.... Plenty of content on your channel I haven't discovered yet and I will enjoy looking back at some of the older stuff and maybe catching up a little bit so take your time do what you got to do. I stopped working 6 days a week more than 10 years ago because I figured if I can't make a living in 5 days and have one day as my family day and one day as my church day then I'm doing something wrong. Go enjoy yourself have a vacation Go spend some time with your loved ones you know you can save up and work hard and save up and work hard next thing you know you're too old to take that vacation and you should have went ahead and did it! We'll pray for you and your family and that your prosperous in all your endeavors.👍🏼🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶😎✌🏻
Thanks Colin, your channel has been immensely helpful in my journey back into the world of electric guitar gear. Good luck with your reprioritizing. Stay safe.
Hey man, I’m not a subscriber or a fan, I actually bought that Harley Benton bass (b450?) off of your review a year ago. Your video popped up again on the suggestions. Hope you are doing well, and overcome these issues. Family comes first. And I can see in you there is an inner English bulldog. 😂
Hi, just to say, as many others have done, look after yourself and your family. I found your channel from your brilliant Guitartan Flying Vee build, and love your TATA explainers on how stuff works. You're a great presenter of technical detail, making it easy to understand. Thanks for all the videos you've made and all the knowledge you've shated. Take a wee while off. Even in the crazy maelstrom of youtube, you'll be missed. Take care.
“….The world does not need to know every detail” Dan Brown, Origin Respect my good man, you do you for a bit. From one of the aforementioned trouser-wearing, tea drinking Cu-…..
Look after yourself and your family first man, nothing is more important. We'll be here when you come back, and looking forward to see what's next. All the best from a neighbour (well, Lanarkshire! 😂).
Colin, if you need to take time away, then thats what you must do. I had 6 weeks not making any content for my channel, due to us having a load of puppies to look after, and i didn't want to play my amp because the puppies would cry when I did. I'm glad that you told us that you'll be away for a while, and as a tea drinking English cunt, who also loves Buckfast, I understand your need for some space. Take care. M
Family comes first and your Personal life, I enjoy watching some of the Video's over and over and learn a lot and am Fascinated with some of the Equipment & Instruments (and I'm a Drummer) take 6 months come back by Summer if you can we will be here,
0:12 I thought having those thoughts about the English was a requirement for Scottish citizenship. Jokes aside, glad that you are taking care of urself, and excited to see what you cover in 2024.
Hope all is well, and I respect your decision. We'll be here, waiting to hear from you again. Take care of you and yours! Can't wait to see what you're coming back with!
Hey Colin I love your content, can't say I understand the electronics stuff and compression; well it blows my mind (not in a good way). Have a fab rest and see you in 2024. Take care and stay safe.
I can't believe you'd abandon OUR para-social relationship for YOUR real life. In all seriousness, take care of yourself in the rain that's coming, hope that this Christmas treats you well and look forwards to seeing what ideas you have when you return!
Good luck Colin. Take care of yourself. Thanks for letting us know you're taking a break. Otherwise we may think you were lost to the ever changing whims of the YouTub algorithm! Take care
Mate your health is very important. Take a break, refocus and delegate if you can. You shouldn’t do everything yourself unless you’re a one man band but even then you still need time away Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘
Colin we will miss your brilliance and wit. You have always been a pleasure to watch and learn from. One of the finest talents on TH-cam. Just make sure you get your ass back on as soon as possible, I can't imagine life without you. Keep it loud! We are "The Collective"
Keep well Colin. Wishing you nothing but the best and I will be here whenever new content is uploaded. I'd like to think of myself as one who is offering support regardless, albeit that support is minimal. (Having just written that, you may well not even read this given the content of this video - but maybe it will make it through to you eventually). Thank you.
Colin, you take care of you, that's the most important thing. We love you and we'll miss your content but at the end of the day there's any number of people to scratch that itch, but there's only one you. Taking a step back can be a very positive thing for everyone involved and I support you in this.
I'll still be here whenever you're ready. I'm looking forward to seeing what you have planned, but since we're being honest here, I don't think I'd notice if you did it now or in 2024. I'll see you when you get back!
All the best and I hope you find some great ways to enjoy your "time off", find your groove again, and hopefully we'll see you back, full force, next year
Love your channel and I will miss the content - but you have to take of yourself and your well-being above all else. None of this matters without your health - be it mental, physical or spiritual. I wish you the best, I hope this time is what you need, and I look forward to more cool stuff from you in 2024!
Best wishes for the holiday season, and I look forward to seeing you again after the channel comes out of its well-earned winter hibernation. I probably don't need to say this because it's what you're already doing, but when times are tough, your wellbeing and your family should always come first. Take all the time you need!
Nothing but love Collin. Very well said. Family comes first and I wish you and yours the best. Take solace in the fact you will get through whatever it is you’re going through x
lmfao trouser wearing see you next Tuesday's lolol Love your posts dude, but if you need a break take one, we'll be here when you're ready to come back :) Greetings and salutations from Wales.
Take a break, man. I know how much trouble it takes to make a (crappy) video, I can imagine what it takes to reach the quality of yours. And you do not need more output (maybe except for the revenue bit), just keeping the usual quality is something that will keep you on the premier league.
Hey Colin, I'm glad to see you putting YT away -- if only slightly -- to focus on you first. I've seen first hand on what this platform can do to some and lead to horrendous burnout in the process. I've loved what you've done for works on guitars and plan to stay a continuous subscriber none the less. I hope to see what you've got plan for your channel is a good look, and I'll be waiting for what you've got planned for us.
Quite frankly, this is probably the most clear, concise, no BS reasoning and I fully wish you the best mate!
I'll certainly still be around to support and watch you, and for whatever's going on I hope things turn for the better.
Very glad to hear you've got things planned, and I'm excited to see what the future holds! c:
This honestly sounds like a really healthy reaction, I'm glad you're taking care of yourself. We'll be here whenever you feel like coming back.
Agreed
As a company that has worked with you and as a big fan of your content personally I wish you the very best. Been in the same place multiple times and it's the only right decision to take your time to recharge your batteries and take a look at everything from a distance while taking care of yourself and your loved ones! Not gonna lie: I'll miss your content and your scientific in this youtube world built on buzzwords but I'll just look forward to your return! Take care
Very eloquently said, Colin. Have a good break, come back stronger. We will be waiting for you with the same support. Cheers!
All the best - you explaining that you don't need to explain yourself is exactly the right thing to do! You do a great channel, hope you don't sweat over the rebuilding stuff yet and actually take the break though! 🤘🏴
Hey Colin, I'm looking forward to what you have in store and more importantly, how you feel when you've gotten the rest you need and gotten everything back in order.

This is the best type of video you could possibly have made. Well done, and we're proud of you for it!
Best of luck. I'll develop a goofy accent so I can fill the void.
As one of the tea drinking, trouser wearing C***’s that watches, I’ll still be here when tryouts get back. I will say however, I have Scottish heritage and drink too much Irn Bru, enjoy a proper scotch whiskey and wear a kilt when the opportunity arises in my clans tartan.
Take it easy man 🤘

I'm glad you're able to say that you're struggling and that you can recognise it and act. Mental health, especially among men, is becoming less of a taboo because of things like this. Big man hugs and I'll see you when you make a triumphant return to the interwebs!
And if anyone is reading this and is struggling, you're not alone.
WOW! Thank goodness for an honest, socially responsible tuber... Really appreciated that my brother. I've recently taken up wood working to try and maintain some sanity in the absence of "real work" and money lol..
Peace love n loud stuff!

Thank you for your time, Colin. I wish you all the gain. Slayeeeer !
Good for you man! See you when you get back.
It's all a ruse. He's running away to live with me in the woods and make sweet music together. 👀🌳
Jokes aside, everyone needs a break. Glad you're actually taking one 💜
Mind come visit in your time off and we can do fun things for fun's sake.
I left the discord after how the Mods were treated….

Hey amigo! Thank you for all you do and you deserve a break! You helped me get through the Pandemic and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you for it. Take your time and do what you need to do. Take care and I look forward to what else you come up with down the road.!😎👍✨
Your reasons are yours. Do what you need. Hopefully you'll be able to come back sooner rather than later, and better than ever.
That's such a clever decision, Colin. I had to make the same thing one year ago, just about the same month! And it worked really well. Indeed we need to take some steps back in order to keep things flowing as they have to. Wish you all the best and thanks so much for all these amazing info you provide. Cheers!
I view you stepping away as a positive move for you and wish you the best.
Good luck with whatever you’re going through and I hope things get better. We love you!

WTF, you OWE YOUR VIEWERS REGULAR ENTERTAINMENT FOR FREE.
Hopefully the sarcasm came through ;) If ya need time, take time. Enjoy the holidays, relax, spend it w/ fam, take a break. Look forward to more videos in 2024.
Yes..... You do you for you, brother....

Oh Aye! Are you secretly about to invade England? I invaded 25 years ago and they've still not noticed!
Take care o' yersel, hae a wee dram and enjoy your time away! Slainte!
Good on you Colin, you're obviously making a sensible decision and may I say a big THANK YOU for your entertaining, informative but above all HONEST videos... top chap, all the best!
Noo you are abandoning us you are the devil
Just kidding. All the best wishes, we'll see you when you get back 😊
(PS. I don't know that your channel needs a refresh. My favs were the more technical explanation vids, I just want more of those.)
Howdy Colin, glad you’re basically OK. Phew! Load off my/minds I can tell you, sir. ; )
On the serious side, all that matters is you were kind enough and professional enough to let us viewers know you didn’t drop off into the ether leaving some to wonder what happened etc.
Go! Care for what truly matters in life and return if you feel like it when time is right.
Thanks for what came before.
Best to you and yourn.
Well done Collin. Whatever your reason stepping back is a great idea. Looking forward to the future when it’s ready
Do what you need to do fella. You and your family come first, TH-cam should never encroach to the point of being a negative in your life. Have a great rest, and come back stronger fella!
All the best to you, Colin. Enjoy your' 'down time' with the family and I look forward to your' return in 2024. Oh and here's wishing you an anticipatory a very happy Xmas and Hogmanay for 2024 😁

I knew it would be an apology video as I didn’t see a ukulele in your hands, but yeah DAMN THE ENGLISH! 😂 Enjoy your break, we’re all looking forward to your return 🤘
I've never really understood people's expectations of others anyway. After all... this IS just a job.
G'day Colin,
Just sending you & your family my best wishes. I'm going to remain 1 of your loyal subscribers, & will look forward to your return.
Take care mate

Be well good sir, may the journey before produce good fruit and healthy growth, and when you return, may it be a glorious and joyful occasion. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Colin is my favorite Scottish guitar TH-camr. I will never have another Scottish guitar TH-camr that I prefer over Colin.
Hey man! I sincerely hope everything's going well / will go well for you in the future - take all the time you need.
I know you probably see that a lot, but I'm an OG; I've been around for probably 9ish years, and have no thoughts in my mind to leave now. I still remember when "Will it ever shred??" was the big meme on the channel, lmao

Good luck dude. If, for some inexplicable reason, you fancy some winter surfing in South Wales, gimme a shout.
I've liked, commented, subscribed, and clicked the notification button so that when you return, the ever- changing whims of the TH-cam algorithm will notify me! Take care of yourself, relax, and we'll see you next time!

Thanks Colin, your channel has been immensely helpful in my journey back into the world of electric guitar gear. Good luck with your reprioritizing. Stay safe.
Have a good rest Sir. Self/family care is important.
Its Nobodys business but your own.
Hey man, I’m not a subscriber or a fan, I actually bought that Harley Benton bass (b450?) off of your review a year ago. Your video popped up again on the suggestions. Hope you are doing well, and overcome these issues. Family comes first.
And I can see in you there is an inner English bulldog. 😂
Hi, just to say, as many others have done, look after yourself and your family.
I found your channel from your brilliant Guitartan Flying Vee build, and love your TATA explainers on how stuff works. You're a great presenter of technical detail, making it easy to understand.
Thanks for all the videos you've made and all the knowledge you've shated. Take a wee while off. Even in the crazy maelstrom of youtube, you'll be missed.
Take care.

All the best, I'm just disappointed that Barry didn't make an appearance. 😃 Maybe he could hold the fort while you're gone.
Colin, if you need to take time away, then thats what you must do. I had 6 weeks not making any content for my channel, due to us having a load of puppies to look after, and i didn't want to play my amp because the puppies would cry when I did. I'm glad that you told us that you'll be away for a while, and as a tea drinking English cunt, who also loves Buckfast, I understand your need for some space. Take care. M

take 6 months come back by Summer if you can we will be here,
Love your content and will miss it but you and your family are the most important thing. Step back, get fresh, and rock on better than ever!!!
0:12 I thought having those thoughts about the English was a requirement for Scottish citizenship.
Jokes aside, glad that you are taking care of urself, and excited to see what you cover in 2024.
What's wrong with the graphics, apart from the age? Guess we'll see. Anyway, take good care of yourself and stay safe, Collin.
Hope all is well, and I respect your decision. We'll be here, waiting to hear from you again. Take care of you and yours! Can't wait to see what you're coming back with!
Mad respect for you making this very clear and concise video. Best wishes to you and your family. See you in the new year!
Hey Colin
I love your content, can't say I understand the electronics stuff and compression; well it blows my mind (not in a good way). Have a fab rest and see you in 2024. Take care and stay safe.
I can't believe you'd abandon OUR para-social relationship for YOUR real life. In all seriousness, take care of yourself in the rain that's coming, hope that this Christmas treats you well and look forwards to seeing what ideas you have when you return!
You’re taking some time off to chill….no need to explain yourself dude
Family and personal life come first. Take your time. No worries. We’ll be here when you’re ready. ✌️😬
Dear Colin, please take care of yourself and your family. We'll be here waiting for you. Looking forward to your return in 2024.
Good luck Colin. Take care of yourself. Thanks for letting us know you're taking a break. Otherwise we may think you were lost to the ever changing whims of the YouTub algorithm! Take care
Mate your health is very important.
Take a break, refocus and delegate if you can. You shouldn’t do everything yourself unless you’re a one man band but even then you still need time away
Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘
What's the synth in the background?
Wish you a best than ever couple of months, Collin; happy new year in advance. Best wishes
Colin we will miss your brilliance and wit. You have always been a pleasure to watch and learn from. One of the finest talents on TH-cam.
Just make sure you get your ass back on as soon as possible, I can't imagine life without you.
Keep it loud!
We are "The Collective"
Colin, you're a star! All the best and come back when you're ready.
Hey Colin! Thanks for the heads-up. Been with you for years and will wait till 2024 no problem.
And totally agree that the less we know, the better.
Keep well Colin. Wishing you nothing but the best and I will be here whenever new content is uploaded. I'd like to think of myself as one who is offering support regardless, albeit that support is minimal. (Having just written that, you may well not even read this given the content of this video - but maybe it will make it through to you eventually). Thank you.
Colin, you take care of you, that's the most important thing. We love you and we'll miss your content but at the end of the day there's any number of people to scratch that itch, but there's only one you. Taking a step back can be a very positive thing for everyone involved and I support you in this.
This Halloween just got spookier >.>
Wish you luck in this endeavor!
Hope your R&R serves you well. This trouser wearing tea drinking English C---lot wishes you well.
I literally search CS Guitar and see if TH-cam changed algorithm again because it's now showing on my feed. Hope all goes well.
A video about leaving... on halloween? Colin do you want to disappear forever, cause that's how you disappear forever
Look, im just glad you exist my good man. Bless you in all that you do, and I hope you deal well with whichever bothers you champion.
Those trouser wearin english are making you quit arent they!? DAMN THEM
I'm glad someones finally standing up and telling it like it is, BLOODY ENG-
You don’t owe us any explanation Colin. Take care of yourself and your family, that’s all the explanation “necessary.”
I'll still be here whenever you're ready. I'm looking forward to seeing what you have planned, but since we're being honest here, I don't think I'd notice if you did it now or in 2024. I'll see you when you get back!
All the best and I hope you find some great ways to enjoy your "time off", find your groove again, and hopefully we'll see you back, full force, next year
Love your channel and I will miss the content - but you have to take of yourself and your well-being above all else. None of this matters without your health - be it mental, physical or spiritual. I wish you the best, I hope this time is what you need, and I look forward to more cool stuff from you in 2024!
Best wishes for the holiday season, and I look forward to seeing you again after the channel comes out of its well-earned winter hibernation. I probably don't need to say this because it's what you're already doing, but when times are tough, your wellbeing and your family should always come first. Take all the time you need!
Nothing but love Collin. Very well said.
Family comes first and I wish you and yours the best. Take solace in the fact you will get through whatever it is you’re going through x
lmfao trouser wearing see you next Tuesday's lolol
Love your posts dude, but if you need a break take one, we'll be here when you're ready to come back :)
Greetings and salutations from Wales.
Good for you. Happily, patiently waiting for you to come back when the time is right. Take care.
I fully understand. I support you no matter what. Do what you need to do, no explanation is needed. Take care of yourself and your family \m/ >< \m/
Take a break, man. I know how much trouble it takes to make a (crappy) video, I can imagine what it takes to reach the quality of yours.
And you do not need more output (maybe except for the revenue bit), just keeping the usual quality is something that will keep you on the premier league.
It's true. Almost everything you see on youtube is a marketing facade. Thanks for admitting it.
Hey Colin, I'm glad to see you putting YT away -- if only slightly -- to focus on you first. I've seen first hand on what this platform can do to some and lead to horrendous burnout in the process. I've loved what you've done for works on guitars and plan to stay a continuous subscriber none the less. I hope to see what you've got plan for your channel is a good look, and I'll be waiting for what you've got planned for us.
You will be missed, but family and self come first. I really appreciated all your videos and learning more about the science of loud
