sorry if that seems harsh but it happens far too much, pay attention to the language used in most instructional videos. if you here 'I' far more than 'you' or 'we' then you know where the focus really is.

consider this, putting the terms 'guitar lesson' into youtube returns 427 THOUSAND results. making new ones for the sake of being new is redundant. on the other hand if you're offering lessons to people online first, then a video might help specific lessons, but make them specific for that student. you might not get the most views but those who do check it out will walk away with something worthwhile, as opposed to the tens of thousands of clips showing some lonely soul explaining the intricacies of playing a song no one else cares to learn.
