My fav youtube educational videos:

Thank you for putting this list together. I wasn't aware of most of these. Looking forward to exploring.

Lots of great resources here! Thanks for making this list

good idea @ed buller

Mangold project is brilliant..

Nahre Sohl is a hottie too..

I see the name "ed buller", I click, quality posts all the way.

This is superb - thanks! There's so much great content freely available on youtube but mixed up in a sea of not so great content. That's when curated lists like this are like golddust.

Cheers!

Ashton Gleckman's videos are incredible and he provides the MIDI files for his "Behind the Score" series

Good guitar focused theory videos:

Great list here Ed. Thanks for sharing! I’ve learned a lot from these people.

For electric guitar, Ben Eller is amazing.

I'd like to add:






Especially 8-bit-music theory, if you're into Zelda and stuff, it's just the best.

Also throwing this one in the list...great theory analysis and in an unusual format.

Regarding recording and mixing music, this is a great channel to get started: https://www.youtube.com/user/recordingrevolution

I'm new around here (and to composing in general). Any recommendations for YT videos where they start in a DAW from scratch? Like a complete blank canvas. It seems like Alex has a couple videos where it's close to what I'm looking for but he basically has the arrangement finished.

Thanks. I'll check those out. I come from a hip-hop/r&b/pop background. I don't have any styles in mind. Just want to see different scoring workflows since this is a new world to me. Best way for me to learn.

Gotcha. Hope you enjoy these. Other channels that do start to finish videos include Dirk Ehlert and Daniel James. Those tend to be a little longer in nature.

I watched half of your moody trailer vid while I was at work. It was excellent and very beginner friendly. Exactly what I was looking for. Learning principles, best practices, and everything is good but I prefer your style. Which is more of "I'm going to do/try this and this is why" approach. I'll check out the other guys you mentioned too. Thanks again.

Been obsessed with watching Dudamel rehearsals lately. So many good ones on Youtube:

I just love how he talks about the performance and all his suggestions are so well articulated. Try to imagine what he would say when I'm writing modulation :D
