    Default Camera Angle Question!

    Okay, so here is a triplet-based blues lick... but that's not the real topic here. I am wondering which of these camera angles you like best for video lessons? Let me know!

    With the first angel it's hard to see the high E string unless there is black behind it.

    Angel 4 is the winner in my book.

    Is your action really high?

    High action, yeah baby! I'm staying away from fret buzz this days, and I'm digging in harder when playing. Harder to play fast and flashy with high action, but it sounds much better.

    I would say angles 2 and 4 are the best one with a slight preference to Angle 2 because it's not as flat as the angle 4

    Great lick BTW

    I'd say 4 was best for me too Robert. Some of the other angles were interesting and I think a combination of them would be a good idea if that were possible. For me angle 4 was best but 1 and 2 were kind of neat when you moved very slowly. That lets you really see where you are fretting. But 1 and 2 are too close up when you are playing with any speed. So 4 is great for overall perspective and 1 and 2 for occasional detail
