Honey Pie

I haven't made a video in AGES! Well, an English student of mine made on a while back and I've been meaning to follow his example for a while. I finally managed one tonight. Hope you like it.

Gnawa

I sometimes go through long periods where I don't listen to any music at all. That's why I haven't made any videos.

Anyway, suffice it to say that I've snapped out of it. This is my latest original!

A Hard Earned Thirst Needs a Big Cold Beer

It's been a while, I know!

I officially finish a month long university course this week. It feels weird not to have assignments and deadlines looming over my head. I was feeling so stir crazy that I made this.

It's actually a cover version of an ad (advertisement) for an Australian beer. VB (or Victoria Bitter). It's quite old, I'm not sure if anyone will still recognise it.

There are words but I haven't bothered doing them. They were spoken by someone called John Mellion. His catchline in this ad is "A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer" and "Matter of fact I've got it now".

YouTube Collaboration

Wow! Jad16, the drummer from the last video, put this together.

I think that pretty soon the Black Eyed Peas will be knocking on our door!

Boom Boom Pow

Here's another track that features sampled music.

It actually seems that it's been "triple" sampled... someone has sampled a Black Eyed Peas song, and put drums over it, someone has sampled that, and put bass over it, and now I've put guitar over THAT... it's great how the internet allows you to do that, isn't it?

Here's the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F444CELomo
Here's the first overdub: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj-BCVR1EcI

And the third, which is mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqOPj9LOeRY

Singin’ In The Bathtub

Wininboy, of YouTube (actually of Flanders!) is a ukelele player who was kind enough to let me sample his music. (For those not in the know, when one 'samples' something in the musical sense, one takes a 'sample' of a recording and then incorporates it into one's own music.)

I've taken his performance of "Singin' In The Bathtub" and put a bassline and some percussion over it. Hope you like it!

Sweet Pea

Please see the original! It's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_M8xt...

Seen it yet? Good isn't it?

It was so cool that I had to do something with it.

I hope the original singer doesn't mind. If you do, let me know and I'll take it down.

I hope I've added something to the original... let me know what you think everyone! Too much? Too little? Sounds better without bass? Wasn't 100% sure I knew what I was doing was adding anything good, but just had to have a go.

Salamat po for watching!

Piano Teacher

YouTubing isn't paying the bills (yet) but luckily for the people of Sydney, I have other talents:

Let me know if you're in Sydney and interested in learning the piano!

Square Nothing

Originally by In Flames.

This cover is a little different from the original... I hope i haven't done it an injustice. Here's the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tNTIDSkio

I didn't do the whole thing either; it's just too metal for me.

I just love that guitar line and wanted to do a recording of it.
