Hey guys. Hope creativity is flowing all around the community. I have a couple of questions... 1) Do you ever repost a reel or TikTok-video perhaps with a different caption if you feel like it was ment to get more likes and interaction? If so do you delete the old one or just post it again? 2) What time of day do you post videos to get most views. I usually post around 20 pm (Danish time), but think maybe it should be earlier? 3) Does anyone use flatwounds on their guitars? I have a friend here in Copenhagen with flat wounds on his guitar and all the squeaks from the strings are completely gone which does seem pretty nice. Lastly I just want to say specifically to @Sebastian Jautschus that his track 'tomorrow' is such a pleasure to listen to. So many interesting ping pong delays, panning, tremolo panning ?, normal delays, noises and so on. Would love to see a breakdown of that sometime.

after moving, getting married, and finishing a big work project, I have time again to be more active in the community … and as you know me, when my motivation hits, I'm overflowing with ideas. but I want to build this community together. so let's decide what we'll do more of in the future. below you can vote on what you'd like to prioritize. if you have multiple favorites, please rank them in the comments. looking forward to being more active and social in here again. relaxed energy 🦦 PS: one free mentoring slot open. through regular 1-on-1 calls or video feedback, I help you with my full attention to become a better guitarwaver. if you're interested, shoot me a dm. first come, first serve. PPS: also how fun is this new camera setup :) who spotted the otter?

@Brian Hennessey recently made an interesting discovery when his track Lifted landed on the high-reach Spotify editorial playlist "Deep Focus" (see https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ5ahDUCaiH/). The rumors about so-called "ghost artists" and the term "Perfect Fit Content" (PFC) used internally by Spotify were already uncovered some time ago in Liz Pelly's book Mood Machine. What I've been missing since then is quantifiable evidence about how common these artists actually are in major playlists. To shed some light on this, I've spent the last few days building a tool with Claude Code to identify the "ghosts". I'm currently cross-checking the results with Brian and wanted to share them with you. Full methodology and results are in the HTML file below. 👇🏼 If you know of other suspicious playlists you'd like me to run through the tool, or if you have tips and ideas on how to improve the detection methodology, I'd love to hear your feedback. 🎸

let's get to know each other. comment below, sharing a photo of your (current fav) guitar, how you got into making instrumental guitar music, and maybe what you do besides making music. I'm happy to have you here 🫶🏼 PS: oh also please feel free to link your music! PPS: there's also an app of Skool btw. which makes keeping up with what's happening in here a little easier.

Quick update. Recovering from reconstructive surgery on my jaw. 3 months wired shut after a fracture subsequent of wisdom tooth extraction. Should get out today. Since my divorce proceedings when I first found this class, I’m down from 220lbs 38” waist to 170lbs 30” waist. You all have helped me stay positive and inspired with your calming music. I just want you to know I’m a super fan of you all. Slight nerve damage but should resolve in 12 months they say. Please keep me in prayer. Keep the beautiful music and chill vibes coming!! I feel part of something truly special. It’s such a cool thing watching you all grow and hone your crafts and share your talents/techniques so generously. So happy Hermanos Gutierez brothers music lead me here. Music is a magical thing. Please follow me on Tik Tok. “joecabrera36” I plan to start going live to keep practicing and getting better.
