Levi Clay Transcriptions

Hello, one and all! If you've taken the step to click on a link to this page, it's fair to say that I already like you quite a bit, but as you're not a captive audience yet, why don't I tell you who I am, and why I'm doing this?

9 years ago I quit working for the man. It probably wasn't the most calculated move (living in London it was essentially suicide!), but somehow over the last 9 years, I've managed to do alright for myself. I've completed over 1000 music/guitar transcriptions for various websites and publications, taught 100s of students, held an amazing position at LickLibrary and Guitar Interactive Magazine (which has seen me release DVDs, meet my childhood heroes, and travel the world!), and now having multiple best selling books released by  Fundamental Changes!

So What's Changed?

Well, in all honesty, nothing. I still love all of the people I work for and will continue to do so as long as they'll have me. However, in recent months I've come to wonder if there's not more of myself I can put out there, not what someone else wants me to be, but who I am.... and I think the answer is yes!

I absolutely live for education and entertainment, but at the same time, my sense of humour doesn't always sit well with clients or advertisers. While I completely understand this, I don't want to ever find myself in a position where I'm censoring what I think or feel to secure a paycheck. This hasn't happened, and I won't ever let it happen, but I HAVE been in meetings where I've been told "you can't post that on Facebook, they might want to advertise with us one day". I don't ever want to have to bend that knee. I make content for YOU. I owe you guys the truth.

I want to be here to tell you what I think, expose scumbags, devote my time to you... but also feed my family, so to Patreon we go!

I'm a huge fan of Patreon as a platform as it's a direct way for me to connect with you, my friends, fans, and students. I've seen incredible success come to people I follow such as Jim Sterling, and Dick Masterson among others. Being here able to make the content that you want, and not hoping someone else will pay me to is the dream, and it'll allow me to do even more of it.



What Can You Get?

In terms of what I can offer you in return for your patronage, there are many options.

• $1 per month - Group Member

The perfect level for passive support. At this level patrons will get access to my exclusive Patreon feed, along with membership to our private Facebook group - this gives you round the clock access to a great community of people, and an inside peek of what's going on with me behind the scenes. Help decide what videos are happening, learn, laugh, and be a big help!

• $5 per month - Transcription Club

If you want to give me $5 a month, you'll get access to the "Transcription Club". I'll pick out 3 challenges a month, a beginner, intermediate, and advanced track or video, and I'll transcribe them in my monthly stream. If you want to give any of them a go, then submit them and I'll give you feedback on how to improve your work! 

• $10 per month - Video Credits

At this level you get everything previously mentioned, AND your name will appear in the credits of my Youtube videos - take pride in being in the content you helped happen.

• $20 per month - Study Club

At this level you'll also get access to my private study club stream - this is a lot of fun! I'll take a book, or video, and read/watch it on stream and show you how I use these materials in my own practice sessions.

• $50 per month - Private Lesson

Here you'll get access to all previous perks, and I'll sit down with you once a month on Skype and we can get to work on making you the player or transcriber you want to be. Alternatively this could act as a mentoring session, or we can just shoot the breeze while I thank you profusely for being so supportive.

• $200 per month - Channel Sponsor

That's a lot of money! But if you have the cash, or maybe you have a service or product you want to come up as pre-roll on my videos and get a vocal shoutout in my videos, then this is the tier for you

STRICTLY Limited to 3 people, and all plugs subject to review of content! 

What Are You Doing With The Money?

Transparency is everything to me. I'm incredibly lucky to be able to do as much as I already do, but I'm not in it to get rich! This page isn't for me to have an ever-increasing wage to retire on. While I absolutely have overheads I need to cover, I live for my work (as you can see from the time stamps on most of my transcribing videos), so once I'm sure I'm not going to be evicted or starve, all money I make is constantly being reinvested into making more content of better quality.

My videos have come a LONG way in the last two years, and that's thanks to all the things this page has helped me purchase. Lights, better cameras, high-quality microphones, upgraded interfaces, plugins, my studio decorations, a nice chair (don't neglect your back people!!) - but there's always more I can do to make my videos look and sound even better. Support here makes that happen!

So, if you're still reading this and want to support me, then check out the perks on the right. Alternatively, you can support me via one-off payments on Paypal at the following link.
