Musically gifted - Play amusical instrument (no plastic guitars!); extra points for a video clip! - 20pts [not singing, as that's another BISH ~j7]

 

+

 

- "I have the X Factor!" - Sing - 30pts [video bonus available! ~j7]

 

Bass

 

- Practicing Around the World by the Chilli Peppers. I didn't look at a tab for the chorus so just improvised it on the spot. Also, did this in one take, so its not very pretty, I'm afraid.

 

- I was actually going to do Wake Up by Rage Against The Machine, but the phone camera couldn't put up the (Low) E sound. So, I had to go with this instead. It's There is a light by The Smiths. Learned the chorus about 5 mins before I filmed it. Again, one take.

 

Guitar + Singing (if you can call it that) (bear in mind that this is an electro-acoustic going through a bass amp)

 

- The Newton Faulkner version of Teardrop. Quite enjoy this, but I can't sing for shit.

 

- Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez. The amp and camera picked up a lot of fret noise, which is a shame. Also, my laptop battery was dying in the background, which you can hear. Prizes for guessing what I mutter at the very end.

 

- the intro for Under the Bridge, love it.

 

Drums

 

- Toxicity by System of a Down. With an on the spot floor tom fill/intro at the beginning.

 

- Chop Suey, by System. I haven't actually listened to these songs for years and I learned them along time ago by ear.

 

Sorry for the quality. The camera was actually perched on a spare snare drum on top of a spare floor tom, as that was the only way I could get the height required to film it. So, there drums resonate which affects the sound quality. :(

 

ehh, why not. May as well post these two:

 

- Practice a song for the dead. I only did this one in one take so it's quite messy.

 

- disappointed how this turned out. You can't really hear the accents and ghost notes on the snare. It all sounds like a mess. The camera/video quality isn't good at all on this one.

 

Also, can I have bonus points for playing more than one instrument? It's also worth pointing out that the drum kit isn't mine, it's at my school where I work. So, I drove up there, on a Saturday Afternoon to film it. :heh:

a song for the dead! <3 Love eeeeet

 

I'll find a better way to record it and do a proper version. I cringe watching these videos because I can do better than this. You can't really hear the triplets in Song for the Dead (in the intro and at the end). I played back some of the recordings on my phone and I couldn't really make out much because of the sound quality. :hmm:

 

Also, the hi-hat is meant to be played with 8th notes, but I went for quarters because when I was messing around with some stuff earlier, I realised that it sounded too overpowering on the recording, when it should be more subtle.
