Vlog – Changes & Feedback

Posted by Marc Backes on Tuesday, 16 February, 2010

YouTubeMaybe you are one of the few people who saw my vlogging project on Youtube.

I started it in the beginning of the year to try it, because I am interested in it, to improve my English pronunciation and because I thought it would be a lot of fun. And indeed… it is interesting, it is a lot of fun and I even think that my English kind of improved.

But somehow I think that I do something wrong :D Because in the first video I had more than 170 views and the last one less than 40. Apparently there is something I do wrong… I think that the main problem is, that I mix up personal vlogs and other things. Furthermore, there wasn’t much feedback from the user’s side, which is a pitty. The some comments I got, I changed in the next videos. Lack of advertisment? Maybe… but not a main point for sure…

Kids, if you ever thought about fooling Santa Claus… DON’T! Because as mentioned in the movie Hackers: “Mess with the best, die like the rest”… Santa might strike back… Just watch…

Well I don’t know WHERE that was and HOW fake or not it is… but I find it actually very funny…

Guitar: O’ Christmas Tree

Posted by Marc Backes on Monday, 1 December, 2008

As the Christmas time started officially, here is something to get into Christmas mood.
It is a guitar tab for a very easy version of “O’ Christmas Tree”.

If you have access to a guitar, but don’t know how to play, you can read here “How to read guitar tabs“.
If you already know how to play guitar, you will notice, that actually it is a very easy song. As I am not the best guitar player and don’t play so long yet, I enjoy this :)

Have fun =)
