<p>You guys both bring up some excellent points. I almost feel like this should be an new thread about social media and diminishing attention spans. This is a very insightful topic. :-)</p>
<p>Honestly thought, it's not just CBGs, its everything. I got a comment on one of my synthesizer videos a while back that said "fast forward to 8:33 to get past all the stupid talking and see the actual video."

But guess what... that same video got another comment "thanks for taking the time to show us how to do that." To me, the one person you help is more important than the 25 who didn't have the attention span to make it past 15 seconds.</p>

<p>I'm relatively new to the CBG world, but from what I've seen so far... I like the community, the people, the hobby, and the expression. I'm not going to disagree with anything said above about society or social media. I think that's spot on. But for what its worth... I like it here.</p>

<p>Very true, John. I don't do CBG videos often, but when I do, they have to come in immediately with my fastest licks, continue at that tempo, and not run over 1 minute. Otherwise, the analytics will show that time spent watching is non-existent.</p>
<p>I'm on other music forum (for a different instrument . . . my primary instrument really) and I know that posting my stuff there will get me all types of critiques from folks far better than me. I like that, as it elucidates me as to things I…</p>

<p>I'm on other music forum (for a different instrument . . . my primary instrument really) and I know that posting my stuff there will get me all types of critiques from folks far better than me. I like that, as it elucidates me as to things I am doing wrong, or should be doing better, or shouldn't be doing at all. Sometimes it can be blunt, and admittedly, a thick skin is required.</p>
<p>I don't think I've ever seen ANY type of criticism - constructive or otherwise - on a single video here. I'm pretty sure that anyone who posted a response in that direction would endure quite a negative backlash. They would be called mean, harsh, or cruel</p>
<p>That's too bad. I don't know how a person progresses musically without honest feedback from their peers. Repetition of "good job," or "that was great" - especially if it wasn't - doesn't lead to proficiency. </p>

<p>Leave to Ron to go all philosophical...and accurate too!</p>
<p>This was a spot on analysis, and i would defiantly say that a lot of the problem was from LifeLog, or I mean Facebook and how it has warped peoples treatment of others and also ruined their attention span.</p>

<p>You were right, we use to post videos and everybody would chime in with their comments likes and dislikes, but now ....in my case if I don't actual strait up manipulate the video by writing the words Blues and cutting of the into and speeding up the music, people will not even watch past the 15 second mark!</p>
<p>...its strange, if the build up is too long they exit the video and scroll past it...but if i take the exact same video and remove the first 30 seconds of walking intro, they watch it.....i was talking to my wife about that not to long ago, that's a testament to how low the threshold is of people attention span is nowadays, some videos I have just recycled my old videos from the past and i edited them to start at the fast or "crescendo part" otherwise they move on.</p>
<p>That being said,</p>
<p>I still believe and KNOW cigar box guitars are the GREATEST hobby ever and I am still totally infatuated with them and at work creating new things!</p>
