guilty video

My teen started watching video gamers on YouTube. I mocked him for it. “You watch other people playing video games?” We know where this is going, right? I have acquired my own creepily similar guilty pleasure. I watch YouTubers unbox guitars. I live vicariously. One favourite is a grammatically challenged dude whose thing is Gibson guitars. He buys rare and expensive ones and then dismantles them on video as he discusses their inner workings down to tiny minutiae. He has an arrogance that only a snobby nerd can have. I am too old for this subculture, but I have been swept into it. I should be practicing.

Some YouTube guitar channels I watch:

The Trogly’s Guitar Show — The JHS Show — Darrell Braun Guitar — samuraiguitarist — intheblues
