im not gonna lie, im sure you could make a great guide
But it is really hard to hear what your saying, i dont know if its the camera or if its just the loud music

I mean some parts were clear but others I could barely hear you at all/




Goodfellas

BboyPoundO-Thats cold... but in times like these, remember,
b****** aint s*** Thats the exact type of shit i bboy for.
Takes away the pain of being owned.

For real I think you're moving way to fast, and you're near impossible to hear. I think whats more important in an instructional is not to explain what is being done (you can do that in two seconds) but why its being done... You give very few formal tips and more or less say "I do this, now you do it", you don't lay out the steps, nor do you explain their origin or why their done in the way you do them, you don't outline common errors in doing them and you don't count them out on a standard beat. which I'd say is really more useful for more advanced people who shouldn't need all of that... I could probably do those steps now, but I don't think anyone who doesn't already have a more than a significant mastery of toprock is going to be able to watch this and replicate it with any level of accuracy.

This is my critique on your guide, if you had someone standing next to you in your studio is that how you'd teach them? Try and think of it more as if you were on that personal level, I know that if you taught that to someone you'd have them replicate it and then point out their errors, explain tiny details about the move to them ect. Those are the kinds of things that make an excellent guide IMO.

Props to trying to spread the knowledge and don't get frustrated its just a first shot.

I actually think I'll learn some pretty cool stuff from this vid Even if I couldn't hear him as well as I could've I just looked at his movements like those korean vids. Maybe it's not sticky material yet but the stuff you teach in your vids is definitely useful, maybe if you revised it like did it again with the music down a little so the people who are useto learning by instructions can benefit just as well.

So in the end, I liked it haha.
