I have some newer videos that I posted on my 2nd YouTube channel.
They're shot in the studio videos, and you can download these songs for free on Google Play, if you like them. The links are in the video description, or you can go to Google Play and search for Matt Makaha and then click on Matt's instrumental album--all songs are free on it.
Here's the new videos:

I listened to them. I still think you're good, but I have something to say.

I looked at both your new and old channel and your new channel is a complete fail compared to the old one, which had problems as well. Why didn't you continue to build on it? At least link them together and advertise your new channel on your old one.

I don't think having "GuitarGod" in your YouTube name is getting you any views, and is putting your videos to much higher scrutiny. Boastfulness, or false modesty like in your sig, is completely unnecessary.

Don't have text on black background as a thumbnail for your video. People only want to see that if the video shows lyrics to a popular song. At least put some art as background to your audio-only uploads. It's not much, but even some copyright free art you think looks cool is better than that. If there's text, make it big enough to read. Put some cool posters on your walls and maybe wear a funky shirt in your video uploads.

And put your name in video titles, having it in your username doesn't make that the least bit redundant. People can't even find your new stuff when they search Matt Makaha. Put genre only as a tag if you want, having it in the title can only reduce your views. Nobody will find your videos by searching "rock".

That's just some quick tips. Watch this YT tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKzRT2hZR8o
