New guitar awesomeness

Heya, folks!
I got myself a brand new guitar! It’s a Walden D560CE acoustic steel string guitar. It has a pickup, so I can plug it into an amp. I went to all the big music stores in town and tried pretty much every guitar they had available in the price range I was interested in. The Walden sounded awesome, so I eventually bought it. There was a problem, though… After playing on it for about two days at home, I noticed there was a weird rattle whenever I played certain sounds, as if the guitar was distorting on its own. So I took it back to the shop. The guitar guy was utterly confused and had no idea what might be causing the weird noise. But no problem, he ordered me a brand new Walden and told me to come pick it up next week. I did. So now I have an even newer replacement Walden. Sadly, this one doesn’t quite have the big and amazing tone the other one had, but it’s still better than the other models I tried.

In other news, I recorded a new video of my song “Falling out of love” and put it up on YouTube. I started recording it several days ago, but because of a stubborn cold my voice sounded pretty funky, so I had to wait a few days before I could record the vocals and finish it. You can see me playing my new guitar in this video. I even forgot to remove the sticker on the pick guard… Check it out!



Second video is up

My second video is now up on YouTube! I just couldn’t wait to get started on this one. I had so much fun making the first video, and the feedback I got for it was pretty awesome! Thanks a lot to everyone who helped promote it!

Now, I probably should have been studying psychology instead of recording this video, but oh well… The book is not going anywhere…

Here’s the video. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

My first music video

I’ve been thinking about making some kind of videos for my songs for a while now, but I didn’t really know how. I have plenty of ideas about how they could look, but I know precisely zip about video software and editing, so turning that into reality is another story altogether. So to just get my ass in gear and make one, I decided to start simple: simply film myself recording one of the songs and then do some very basic editing with a program called Ulead Video studio.

And so, here it is. Check it out and let me know what you think! :)
