YouTube in Meridian
JustinGuitar offers a one-stop-shop for anyone looking to learn guitar or enhance their skills. Justin launched his channel in 2006 whilst still touring as a professional musician, and has since produced thousands of guitar lessons, ranging from beginner to advanced and covering styles from jazz to pop to rock. His 1.3M subscribers will find tips and tricks for finessing the art of the guitar to play like a pro.
I started doing guitar lessons on YouTube when the platform was still very young and I feel like we grew together. I left the life of a touring musician to be a full time YouTuber over ten years ago and now my channel is one of the biggest in the guitar tuition field and my company employs several people. I always appreciate the opportunities YouTube has given me!

Motherhood is my passion and I've captured memories and shared unfiltered stories of the good and bad times on YouTube. The platform has meant I’ve been able to launch my career as the world’s top baby names expert. As a busy mum of three, YouTube has been more than a social network – it’s been my support network. Whatever parenting throws at you, there's always another mum out there on YouTube who gets it.
Robin’s channel is the place to go for all things carpentry, joinery and fine building works. He makes videos on anything from how to fit joists, to stone cutting, building decking, inserting steel beams and adding hinges - great for those who are looking to carry out some home improvements during lockdown. Robin’s calm teaching style means even beginners can learn new skills. He started his channel in 2009 and now has over 42,000 subscribers. Robin provides skilled advice and years of industry knowledge on a real craft skill. Robin has big plans, and would eventually like to use his channel to teach a full range of carpentry and joinery techniques to anyone anywhere.
I have been a carpenter and joiner all my working life, and at the same time have always taught the craft. I’ve always used photography to keep a record of my work, and a few years ago I decided to begin filming to share my work with others. My subscribers and viewers are amazing. I regularly meet people who have watched my channel and this gives me an enormous sense of pride and fuels my desire to keep sharing my knowledge and encourage others to do the same. The simplicity of YouTube and its amazing analytic capacity has made the whole process even more fun and worthwhile.
