Pick a good song. Preferably one that people know.
We’ve discussed at length the “play it like the original or make it your own” debate. Read that article and take it for what it’s worth, but ultimately you need to be authentic to you. There’s no hiding who you really are in video…especially when it’s recorded live.
But before people judge you on your performance, your talent, your clothes, your gear, etc….they will consider the song you are playing.
If it’s a song that they like, they are more likely to give your version a listen. If it’s a song they at least know, there’s also a decent chance that they will press play.
But if your video is the Rockin’ XYZ Band playing “Obscure Song Nobody’s Ever Heard Of,” your chances for getting views are seriously limited.
Pick a good song. Make sure it’s a popular song. Feel free to put your own twist on it if that’s your thing. Just make sure you’ll have an audience that will appreciate it before you put in any of the work.
