YouTube personality Rob Scallon confronts difficulty in creating his first video, finding the process more arduous than composing an entire album in a single day.
Rob Scallon, a renowned YouTuber with over 2.58 million subscribers, has teamed up with Schecter to release a signature range of six-, seven-, and eight-string guitars. This collaboration is not the only exciting project Scallon has been involved in recently. He is also part of a one-day-a-year band called The First of October, alongside Andrew Huang.
The First of October is a unique project that challenges the duo to write, record, and film a full ten-track album in just one day each year. This intense creative process involves rapid collaboration and spontaneous ideas, such as using random notes or quick musical games.
The band's first attempt was met with some scepticism by Scallon, who initially thought it would be a "train wreck" and expected to create the worst album ever. However, to his surprise, they ended up making songs they liked. The failure of their first day has since become their most anticipated event, with the band's annual album creation now highly anticipated by fans.
Behind the scenes of The First of October is a lot of video production, with Scallon documenting the entire creative process as a major part of the content itself. This includes the writing, arranging, and recording of music, as well as the filming of the accompanying videos.
Scallon's signature range with Schecter is available in both left- and right-handed setups, offering fans the opportunity to play the same guitars he does. The range includes a variety of models to cater to different playing styles and preferences.
Rob Scallon has been a YouTuber for 17 years, and his channel is a testament to his passion for music and creativity. With his latest projects, he continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in music and video production. The First of October is just one example of the innovative and exciting projects Scallon has been involved in, and fans can look forward to seeing what he does next.
