Anyone Wanna Check Out My Lame YouTube Videos (Cover Songs)?

just a little background - normally, im super embarassed and very shy when it comes to playing music for people - i mostly keep it for myself

on occassion, ive whipped the guitar out in front of a few close friends and had a few "campsite" sessions and things of that nature - but ive really only played in front of "strangers" twice in my life - and that was quite a while ago (about 5-6 years back)

anyway - i started posting videos of a few songs on youtube about a year and a half ago - of course, my shyness begot me and ive basically been posting nothing more than the camera recording a stuffed toy - with my singing/playing in the background

being that im getting a bit older - ive been toying with the idea of playing a few coffee shops here and there - obviously, at this point its not about becoming a rockstar - but it is about getting that "feeling" from being in front of people and performing

i hope this is allowed - and if not, then mods, please delete this thread: but if anyones bored at work today and wants to listen to a few cover songs - wanna check out my youtube submissions? basically, lemme know if you'd sit through something like that at a bar/coffee shop - or if youd heave a hot cappucino in my face...

theres only one original posted on there - and i wrote that song when i was about 17-18 years old - so dont expect anything there - but lemme know if you "like" some of the covers - or hate them...:

ps - there is a live version of "gone" i recorded at the last united center show in the mix - to give you some incentive :D

    I think you're quite good, I'd go to see you. I liked your original song. :)
    "I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."

    you are talented....it takes much courage to perform.
    live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.
  • Will watch / listen when I get home from work :)
