As for kmac2021 he certainly does something no one else does and I'm not sure I could say what it was.
Off the back of his channel and writing for Gearnews he got invited out to Thomann and asked to participate in their Synth Reaktor event, so worth all the hard work.
I'd never have any time to actually play the guitar is my main concern with video editing!
Good luck with your venture and if you need any help, hit me up.
This is the biggest worry for me. The internet is absolutely teaming with people who want to do everything and who are lost in a sea of other people doing the same.
Instead of trying to please people do the thing you are passionate about and be the master of one thing and have a core base of people watching because they enjoy the format and content. Once you've nailed that and found your voice then by all means branch out.
Do you have something new to say about the Tubescreamer that isn't available in 10 other videos? If not then why make it?
Source: As a DOP, Director and Editor this has been my day job for about 20+ years. More recently I have done a shedload of work with a lot of big youtube stars and online 'influencers' *spit spit*.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
good luck with it!
Good luck in honing both your guitar and presenting skills.
Hopefully people will enjoy the ride and develop with you, looking forward to your first episode:-)
It seems whenever everyone went to youtube guitar vlog school the last lesson and the main take away was about having a 'practical' household lamp on in the background to add depth to your shot.
Once you look for it you will see it on like 80%+ of guitar channels.
If you do this as well, at least put the light on a dimmer so it's not blowing out. Ok, potential nightmare averted

I always skip the talking, if I'm interested I can go back and find out but most of the time it's some guy slowly talking about himself, a bit about the gear. Some videos that are 16 minutes long, feature 14 minutes of talking and it's meant to be a gear review. It's unbelievable how some people can be full of themselves. and I'm sure not everyone has that patience.
I understand a little bit of talking is sometimes necessary, but when I do guitar videos, I say the name of the guitar and pickupsl and just point with my fingers when I change pickups, no need to go on about your gf in high school and what she thought of your sound back then, etc, etc. They always seem to go off on a tangent and just lose the whole poiint of the video.
1 - Keep the talking down to a minimum, and only about the gear,
2 - Your gear is more interesting than you (no offense intended)
3 - Keep the videos short, and make more videos if need be, rather than a 29 minute video
4 - People these days don't have a lot of time or attention spans
5 - Look like you enjoy it!
