Do you guys watch any infotainment type music channels? I always go down the rabbit hole of enthusiast channels when I pick up a new hobby. Last year it was bicycles, this year it's definitely been/going to be music.
Here are a few guitar focused channels I watch regularly. A lot of these people inspire me to want to play more. I'd be interested in finding more like them. As always with YouTube some are part entertainment, part sales, part educational information.
Rick Beato. Former music producer and educator. Plays multiple instruments. This guys enthusiasm when it comes to music is what made me pick up a guitar again. He has a series called 'What makes this song great' where he breaks down what he things makes songs popular from a music production standpoint. He also does videos on music theory and the industry.
