Why do I make videos?
It is fun to play and sing just for my self. But sometimes many players and singers want an AUDIENCE. In fact, we would like an audience that pays some attention - more like a concert than playing a bar or restaurant and being pretty much back ground music.
Thanks to CBN, I have an audience. Better yet, it is a friendly and tolerant audience.
I also enjoy learning new songs and playing them. Some times they get added to my repertoire and some times they are soon forgotten.
CBN videos are also a song writer's community.
Why do I get comments and some likes?
CBN is a social network. I try to responds to other folk's videos, photos and posts. I develop friends and relationships. Some of those folks tend to respond back to my posts. A social network is a bit like real life.
Additionally, I try not to waste people's times. I edit the vid so you don't have to wait 20 seconds for the content to start. I often post lyrics and chords with vids. People like that. No matter how clear the singer puts out the lyrics, folks will not hear them all clearly.
When I post a photo, I try to put up info. I try to tell the truth. Not everything I build plays well!
Why does some of the best stuff get few comments?
Again, it is a social network. Something good will get looks and comments at least the first few times the person post. . If the poster does not respond to others, he or she soon gets few comments back.

Obsidian, your building certainly does not suck. I can tell that from the photos. Nice stuff. You don't have to be blues guy on cbgs. Adapt the instrument to what you like. We need more styles - even the ones I am not so crazy about. You are an accomplished musician, but CBGs are a bit different. Maybe check out Mike Snowden's how to play CBG rock on youtube. The slide will eventually come along for you. Kind of think like your finger inside the slide is actually the slide and that you must keep it square and level and actually slide it a bit slower than you might think.
