Robert, cam angles 2,4 & 6 are good views for me, I can see close up on 4 as well as normal or more natural distance to view on 6, finally 2 is a good angle too, it gives me some depth of the guitar with your hand playing every note...

Hi Robert
I prefer angles 2 and 4. For me it's easy to see what fret and string your fingers are addressing with those two options. If I had to select only one option it would be option 4.
Many thanks for all the free lessons and tips!
Cheers,
Ted

angle 4 was best for me but tabs would make even better

I think number 4 is the best. If you add a little view of the other hand it will be perfect.

I like #4

Angle #4 is the best.

PinP ( 4 in 6 ) allows viewer to relate to 1 on 1 lesson with best view of finger position.

I thought 2 and 4 were the best.

i like #2 the best...keep up the good work !

i find the camera angle not so important if you would just give us like you use to the TABs!

other than 2 & 4

Hi Robert,
I prefer 4, clearest for left hand, followed by 6 if the action of your right hand needs also attention.
Thx for all the great lessons !
Alexis

Hi Robert, all have their merits but if pushed I would say 4 followed closely by 6, thanks again for the great lessons, cheers Tim

4 is best next is nr 2
thanks fore your lessons
from frank.

Angle 4 looks best to my mind.

definitely number one. it lets you see finger placement on the fret board. Some of the other angles are too close or fingers hide the fingertip location on the board.

Anles 4 and 5...

4 and 6

4 and 6 are best

Angle 4 is the best. Angle 6 is second best. Angle 5 is third best.

#4 is great for licks, like this one, that cover a small area of the fretboard.

First thank you! For all you do , you're a really special person and amazingly talented.
Your lesson are really useful and thought out.
Angle 4 is best for me most of the time but maybe sometimes 6 is nice if the lick has an unusual picking pattern.

I like number 4. Seems like the easiest for learning the lick.

Robert,

2 is good but 3 is better, as it covers more fret board. I like the offset and above angle as it's easier to see where the fingers are going. A straight on view tends to have the fretting hand cover the fretboard, making it difficult to see where the fingers are landing.

My favorite is view #5. You can plainly see the fretting hand and you can watch the picking pattern. So often, with lessons like these, the viewer only gets to see the fretting hand and never the picking hand. When learning to play lead, picking is just as important as fretting the notes, especially in terms of speed and accuracy. So I think view #5 becomes the most valuable to the beginner.

Great site, Robert. Keep up the good work.

6 is best. You can see the exact position on the neck and see what the right hand is doing. Of course you could also use close ups using 6. Keep it simple

I like number 4 the best. Numberb6 is ok, but too far away.

angles 4,and 6 are good.Rock on nice work stay blessed.

Hi there,
I think angle 4 is the best. It gives a fairly close up view which makes following whats going on easier but its still wide enough to relate it to the correct part of the neck.
A great thank you!

I like angle 4 plus all your lessons many thanks.
regards William

Very tasty lick, Robert. Great Lesson. As others have stated, I like 4 and 2 the best...in that order.

I vote for angle #4. It's up closer and very clear . Thanks for your lessons. I always enjoy them.

There is another angle you may consider. The over the shoulder angle that shows the neck as you would see it while playing the guitar.

3 and 6
(BOTH in each lesson would be cool)

Robert,

I liked angle 4 for learning the neck fingerings and angle 5 if the picking pattern is included with the fingerings. On both those angles I could see all the strings without distortion from depth perception and I could clearly see the position of your fingers and pick.

I prefer angle 4. Angle 6 is good too, but it is a little far.

Hi Rab,

Angle 4 seems the right distance and would do well with the right hand from angle 6 included within angle 4. So it`s angle 4!!

Good job Robert I like 4 or 5 myself

Best: 4 (close up and I like a view that has the pinky on the left and the index finger on the right)

Good: 6 (but the camera was too far away from your left hand)

OK: 2

Lose: 1 3 5

#4. Great site. Great job! Thanks.

Hi Robert...I like angles 2 and 4 the best.

Hi Robert:

I agree with many others - 4&5 are the best. I also like 6 - I could appreciate your pinky hovering over the G string with that view.

Jamie

Number one needs more light on that rosewood fingerboard. Great site.

Hi Robert,
I liked views # 4 (the best), 6 (maybe zoomed in more), & 2.

Thanks, keep up the great work.

hi robert
i liked angle 1,2,6

Hi Robert,angle #4 is the best angle for me.Thank you for all of your great lesson's.

I would suggest angle 4 for the fretboard.
Your lessons are very well received, thank you.
Ro

Camera angle 4 is the best.

Hey Robert,
Thanks for lesson mate.For me angles 4&5 work the best.
Cheers Rich.

Hey Robert,
Great stuff as always,
Angle 2 & 6 are the best.

I think Nº 2, 4 and 5 are the best angles.

I think Nº 2, 4 and 5 are the best angles.

Hi Robert
Angle 6 is the best as it's the most straight-on view to the neck so no fingers get hidden by other fingers as in some of the other angles, but zoom in closer to the left hand (as you have on all the other angles), and only show the picking hand when needed.
And thanks for all the lessons
Nick

Robert, I miss your smiling face however angles I prefer in order are 4,2 & 6

I see the frets and finger better in # 2 and # 4

Robert; angle 2 or 4 are best for me but, #6 not far behind.
Thanks for these!

Hi,
Thanks for all the efforts you put into these lessons. I like the angles 4-5-6, 4 and 6 the most.

I liked angle 4 and 6.

Camera angles 4 and 5 are best. Angle 4 to see what the left hand is doing, and angle 5 to see what the right hand is doing. Thanks for all you do.

I like Angle 4 the best, because it gives the cleanest, clearest look at the fretting of the notes (without background distractions, such as a floor). I think it is also good to show something like Angle 6 if there is some special picking that needs to be explained. Otherwise, stick to the nice, tight closeup of the fretboard that Angle 4 provides. Please keep up the good work.

angle 4, is the best for me...

I like angle 2 and 4. It gives a better view for seeing the strings you are playing.
Thanks again for the lessons.

Hi Robert, I'm with the majority here and vote for #4.
Thanks for the lessons, they really help.

Angle 1 is the best. All you need to see is right their, no distractions makes it easier to concentrate. Thanks for all the lessons over the years. You are a very good teacher and friend

hey robert-
angle six followed by four seem to work best-
showing both if possible would be awesome-

thanx for caring !! you're the best-

Great teaching as always!! #4 and #6 respectively for my eyes.

Robert, Angle 4 is a good way to go for a close up. But angle 5 might be an interesting transition from the slower beginning of a lick to a more intermediate pacing. Then you could finish full speed with a full-body framing like when you introduce a video.

Thanks
Rob

robert,i liked 1,2&4 great angle
looking at tips of fingers.didn't
from back or foward angle,5&6
to far away. hope this helps,it did me. edd

I agree with Roly 2 ,4 and 6 are all quite good.

Angle 4 is best for detail. Just made a PayPal donation to help continue these great lessons! THX!

#3

Hi Robert, my favorite is angle 4: Best view on all strings and left hand. Some lessons may require angle 5, too, but not this one.

Tschüss

Dieter

Many good camera angels, but i like #4.

Hi Robert ---- I like angles 2-4 thanks Ron

Hi Robert ---- I like angles 2-4 thanks Ron

I think I would like to see a combination of 4 - 6

#4

the old way was better because we could see the whole guitar and see you as well. don't change it
Thanx
Mike

angles 2 & 3 do not seem to be very different and they form my preference.

I like the 4&5 angle best. Always nice to see what the right hand is doing.

Great angles !! 2,4&6 being the
best. thanks for your continued
effort in bring us the latest in free video's.

Thanks for the opportunity to chime-in. In order of preference I like 4, 6, 2. Thanks, Robert. Keep up the great work!!

I see why it is tough for the angle. for definition I like angle 4.to get the big picture angle 5 works for me although some may prefer 6.they are all good but preferences are like opinions everyone as one.

Hello Robert... brilliant that you are experimenting with different angles for filming guitar lessons... it really is very important. I agree with Roly with a preference for angles 4 and 6 being combined if possible! Excellent lesson once again... cheers Robert.

Robert,
I like Angles 2, 4, and 6 best. Thanks for all you do,

Rex

Hi Robert, I think for me the best angle was #4 . Keep up the excellent work, i love it... Tom Boise

camera angle 4

Angle 6 best. You can see both picking and fretting hands well.

Can't decide between 5 and 6.

The video feels more complete with your right hand in the shot.

angle 4 is the easiest for me to follow

Well,all angles are really readable,like Angles 2,3,4.Beginners can readily see your fingers on the fretboard.
Great free lessons.
Hasta la vista,
Manny

Robert. liked view 4 & 6. These two offered best overall for neck and hand. Thanks for all.

Hi Robert
These angles are all very good but in particular I like Angles 2,4 and 6.
The first two angles show good fret positions and fingering plus angle 6 shows picking hands etc.
Thanks for your many great free lessons.

cheers
Roly
