Help! I'd Love Your Feedback on My Video Lessons Format

Hey everyone,

I'm working on turning more of my tabs and exercises into video lessons, but I'd really appreciate your input.

I learned guitar before YouTube existed, and if I'm honest, whenever I have used them I've often found many online lessons a bit slow and frustrating. Sometimes I just want to see exactly what someone is playing without having to sit through lots of talking first.

I've posted my step-by-step lesson showing how to play my easy arrangement of The Godfather.

When I'm teaching a technique, exercise, or course lesson, I think explanation and narration are important. But when you're learning a song, I'm not so sure.

So I'd love to know:

Do you find the narration and explanations helpful?
Or would you prefer the song broken into sections with less talking and more playing?
Would a slow demonstration with a close-up of both hands be enough?
Do you like hearing why certain fingers are used, or do you mainly want to see what to play?
What makes a video lesson most useful for you?

There's no right or wrong answer. I'm genuinely interested in how you prefer to learn, and your feedback will directly influence how I create future lessons.

Thanks in advance for your help—I read every comment and really appreciate your input.
