Guitar: Quando now with vocals!

Yes, that's not a misprint. I actually recorded myself singing. It's rather embarrassing how badly I sing, but hey, you can't improve if you don't try right? So ladies and gentlemen, feel free to give me any advice on my singing. It will be much appreciated.

On the other hand, I polished up the guitar portion of Quando, Quando, Quando and added a rhythms section. This along with the vocals makes this the first "complete" song I recorded.

Eric the Eel

Funny but true event that happened at the 2000 Sydney Olympics - swimmer from Equatorial Guinea wins a 100m freestyle heat despite having never trained in an Olympic size pool because his two other competitors got disqualified on a false start.

Guitar: Month 4 - Improv time!

I've been trying to play Quando Quando Quando from watching Youtube videos the last couple weeks. The version I'm trying to play is in a bossa nova style similiar to Michael Buble's version.

Anyhow, today after ultimate frisbee, I had some free time so I recorded a track for fun. It sounded a little bland, so I recorded a second track that I improvised. I think it turned out pretty well for a first take. Take a listen yourself!
