Title: The McGoogle non-electric guitar
Post by: Malc on June 18, 2011, 11:47:57 AM
For years now I've been toying with the concept of putting stuff on You Tube, my own songs or a cover version or two I'm happy with. I eventually decided to upload this as a test, it was done in one take, because my son Aidan was dying to get out and see his buddy and thought the idea of videoing his dad playing the guitar was a bit lame. He actually videoed with my mobile phone in one hand and his skateboard under his arm, so if I had stuffed up it would have been hard luck, he wasn't going to hang around.
I eventually found out how to upload stuff. Here it is.

Very impressive fingerwork, Malky. Enjoyed that - shame it wasn't in 5.1 surround sound. Very expressive dancing moustache you have there, and eyebrows that could teach Roger Moore a trick or two. My only reservation is that the specs hanging from the jumper neck isn't quite rock and roll... although you may yet make it so!

You should see me live. I go like the clappers. My moustache can hardly keep up.

Yes, the facial tics were a bit off-putting when I saw them, I was told about them when I was last in a band and that was in the days before mobile phones or even decent video cameras. I now know what people were on about.

I listened to both songs - I found them very similar.

But like Tarqs says, excellent fingerwork! Hope you are a You Tube sensation.
