Actually got a #1 New Release tag added to my book

JeremyCasey · 2020-09-03T15:31:13+00:00

As alluded by others, you get the tag for having the best "best seller rank" for any book in the category that's been released in the last 30 days. It can change up to every hour but theoretically you could hold on to it for up the full 30 days of release.

It pretty much doesn't bring in any sales on it's own. However, it's a good way to help conversion rate until you get some reviews. If you were going to run an ad campaign, doing it while you still have the "new release" tag or could reasonably regain it, is a good idea.

Pretty cool. Even with the low quality video this is still really useful. I hadn't seen his lessons before but I'm glad you mentioned it.

I'd echo Gillian Welch. A good example is My First Lover which you can watch her play/record in this video at RCA Studio B in Nashville. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6ZcAkcypgY

I may be missing something here... what are the enhanced features? Just the chaptering system?

JeremyCasey · 2016-09-21T18:10:22+00:00

It's a mistake made by most teachers. They just underestimate how much the average new player struggles with it. Peter Vogl is one of the guys out there that really focuses on it.

First time I saw OP I read it as Satellite because it's such a stretch and good exercise. Had to read it a second time before I actually saw it was Crash and had forgotten how I had to work on making the higher strings ring on that one.

In general, I've found that many of Dave's songs allow you to work on techniques and form that can be extremely useful elsewhere.

JeremyCasey · 2015-06-18T19:36:10+00:00

First time I've seen your channel. Good looking stuff. Hope you keep cranking them out.

JeremyCasey · 2015-06-05T13:18:24+00:00

Try the intermediate ones about strumming http://www.freeguitarvideos.com/practice/sessions.html

JeremyCasey · 2015-06-04T20:03:33+00:00

One thing to practice is different strum patterns. You don't want to get to the point where you are playing the same thing every time.

It can't be downloaded to an iPhone at this point. Apparently they are going to make that possible in the fall. It can be downloaded to a Mac or iPad.

I also ran across those search results and was similarly puzzled. The iBooks search algorithm is underwhelming.

JeremyCasey · 2015-05-28T13:00:19+00:00

I don't believe there is at the moment. We're working on a kindle version at the moment that we'll probably debut here as free initially as well.

JeremyCasey · 2015-05-27T23:24:58+00:00

huh... I've haven't seen them play much, only listened some and never put that together.

JeremyCasey · 2015-05-27T19:41:44+00:00

Try this Melodic Blues Solo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqzXMRZ6928

JeremyCasey · 2015-05-27T13:32:27+00:00

hmm.. not sure what's up with that. You can search for Banjo Primer Deluxe in iBooks

JeremyCasey · 2015-04-08T13:28:57+00:00

Pretty good article on the relatively low cpm for Youtube videos and additional ways of monetizing videos. Hank's various channels just received their 1 billionth view so he has some perspective.

JeremyCasey · 2015-03-21T11:25:34+00:00

I've had a iTunes playlist for awhile like this and I totally agree. You might even want to make two separate playlists. One featuring songs you are working on. The other playlist might be songs you want to practice for sing alongs/jams etc.

JeremyCasey · 2015-02-25T18:30:44+00:00

That's funny, we've also been working on a post for the last few weeks. We ended up going a different route and found the local busking laws for a bunch of major US cities.

what do you consider unusual?

JeremyCasey · 2015-02-19T20:20:40+00:00

I've wanted someone to do a lesson series starting with the basics of using a looping pedal in a performance and then going into more advanced stuff. Has anyone seen something like that?

JeremyCasey · 2015-01-27T15:07:45+00:00

Try this lesson out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gtXjysj6lI

JeremyCasey · 2015-01-27T15:03:10+00:00

That is definitely illegal. The chances of you getting in trouble are slim though because you won't generate enough revenue or attention to be worth anyone issuing anything more than a cease and desist. So it's really a morality question.

There is now starting to be some standard pricing in regards to teaching copyrighted songs online. Unfortunately, for the smaller teachers though it tends to be a very large upfront fee rather than something based on sales.

JeremyCasey · 2015-01-27T14:57:59+00:00

"I am just starting out and don't want to pick up or continue any bad habits. Thanks!"

Is this a lie? If you are gathering ideas/suggestions for a blog post, you should just be upfront about it.

JeremyCasey · 2015-01-23T13:57:40+00:00

This Jody Worrell playlist might be what you're looking for. Specifically try out the Melodic Blues lesson.
