Hello everyone. :)
This is my first ever youtube video.

Behold: -

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7aIkqwyXSQ[/youtube]

I didn't warm up my vocals, and the sound quality may not be too good - I am wearing earphones.
Feel free to leave a comment, and I hope you enjoy it. ^^ :)

I took a look as soon as I read your PM. GOOD JOB!

Hope you'll make more vids. :D Keep on playing/singing!

Great video. :thumleft:
Looking forward to see more!
Oh.. and you should really get a propper microphone, cause you deserve to be recorded in good quality, cause I must say you're right about the quality being bad. You singing is not perfect, but niether is mine, no shame there! You can only improve by keep singing, and don't be afraid and hold it back!

Now this morning I woke up with this song in my head, and since I've only heard you playing it, it was your playing and your voice.

My second video is now complete. :)
Behold: -

This is me playing Behind Blue Eyes.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVFbkNXux9M[/youtube]

I did warm up my vocals but I guess it would probably sound a bit better if I was 100% completely confident and standing up.
I plugged the guitar in but what I really need to do is have a better mic, or a mic attached to a camera if that is possible.

I hope you enjoy my second performance on youtube. ^^

Hi there.

Definitely an improvement over the first in terms of "technical" stuff. Warming up definitely helps.

I agree that you could use a better microphone--the guitar was a bit low, but your playing is still great.

You sing REALLY well!

I hope we get to hear some of your own compositions soon. :D

Keep up the good work! :cheers:

My third song is now up. :)
Behold: -

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dREc8VIL8Jk[/youtube]

This is me playing Lela Pala Tute, by Gogol Bordello.
This song is highly eccentric and crazy. :lol:

Same issues with mic and guitar not being picked up too well, for now.
