I play guitar on my headphones most nights and play along on YouTube.
Are the girls that play guitar and drums to bands some kinda porn?
They are dressed as if and I’m not sure that they are actually playing, it’s as if they are pretending to a backing track and keep looking at the cameras?
Is this a new thing?
I like playing along with amateur drummers to songs, but some of them I can’t help but think something else is going on?

As with all things – sex sells.

There are a great many attractive people on youtube selling whatever you think you might want to buy/subscribe too.

loads of kids playing great. loads of people playing great.

You only need look at Nita Strauss and her kickstarter campaign for proof that appearing on any youtube channel that will have you will reap benefits if you are attractive and can play a wang bar

I like playing along to this one, it stops me looking at my own fretting hand.
She’s gone from YouTube to the stage and is doing very well, so yes, she sure can play.

Yeah I’ve seen her and very good, but she always looks at the camera and smiles, off putting if she is just support be playing guitar.

Young women using their looks when I was hoping for music do nothing for me. Similarly, anyone showing how fast they can do some soloing is sooo boring. Shredding just for its own sake is so ’90s. <yawn>

If you want to see drum covers done really well you’ll struggle to find better than Sina. I don’t get a ‘porn’ vibe from her but she is one damned fine drummer and the production quality is very high.

Be interesting to see if she can get a job in a band. Too many virtuosi seems to struggle to be anything other that a one trick pony.
There again i suppose YouTube makes the world a different place.

Oh and some Orianthi – just because she is pretty awesome – saw her with Alice Cooper at Cropredy.
