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

Thanks for the suggestions!!  Especially on the audio-only uploads, that's a good idea!

But I do have to say that the reason I don't put 'Matt Makaha' in the titles of my videos on my newer (2nd) channel, is that I'd rather people focus on my main channel (my old channel), so I don't want the videos on my 2nd channel showing up high on results list if someone searches for "Matt Makaha"

The songs/videos on my 2nd channel, in general are more esoteric, and pretty much the reason I put those up is that after I'm dead, people will see that I had another side to my musicianship than the songs on my main (old) channel, (if they search hard enough that is).  Some of the songs/compositions, in fact, most of the pieces on my new channel are not commercial/popular music, like is found on my main older channel.  For example, the following video below is almost avant-garde jazz that would perplex most people who aren't musicians (in general, most subgenres of Jazz like bebop, jazz/rock fusion, free jazz, are examples of art music--art music as in the categories that you learn about in musicology which means music that falls into the categories of:  popular music, folk music, art music, sacred music, etc.  Some genres of jazz fall into the art music category.  Art music by definition is not popular music with wide commercial appeal.  Art music in Western music is classical and some sub-genres of jazz, speaking generally, art music is music for musicians)

For example, this piece of mine is pretty out in left field and would perplex most people who aren't musicians:

 And if I put that video on my main channel, people would just say "WTF is that?"  Whereas my jazz musician friends would go "Wow, cool!"

It's for two different audiences....

Having said that, there are a couple of pieces on my newer 2nd channel that could possibly be more pop/commercial-leaning music like the first video in my previous post above titled "Translucent (smooth jazz)"  The melody in the chorus section is pretty accesible to most people, I think, but in general, most of the stuff on my 2nd channel is more for musicians/guitarists.  (Of course, that's because the subgenre of "smooth jazz" is more in the popular music category than art music, as "smooth jazz" in general has simpler harmonic structure and melodies than say, bebop jazz which is definitely art music)

And as for the shameless titles and names etc. , well....Matt Makaha isn't my real name.  If you saw my music video "You Never Told Me" on my old channel, in the beginning of the video, I have my real name on there, kinda because that song is about my deceased Dad, and I kinda wanted my real name on that video.  But the rest of my videos all are under 'Matt Makaha'
