Nightmare before Christmas early demo

So I just finished learning Jack's Lament, this is just a rough idea.  Still have to add Sally's Song and we'll be ready for spooktober.  I kinda like this idea of just a solo lead guitar (maybe ill piano)

This video will be released on Halloween!

Beat it - Michael Jackson quick scratch demo

So this was unexpected.. the great Eddie Van Halen passed away last night and it's been making me think a lot since. For those that don't know, EVH performed the solo to Beat It by Michael Jackson. So originally not planned, but I'm now going to cover this song, starting with the incredibly hard solo. This is just after.. 10 minutes? Work in progress cause my fingers actually hurt. See you soon.

Very 1st demo of Nightmare before Christmas

I just started this project tonight, and sharing ideas of what I think I'm going to do with this song. This is after about 20 mins of learning, still got a long ways to go.  The song will most likely end up on acoustic / nylon guitar but here's the 1st draft :)

Next video - Ennio Morricone tribute

Hey there! With the completion of the Nujabes video, it is time to move on to the next one.
For those that don't know, the world recently lost my favorite composer, Ennio Morricone.
You may or may not be familiar with the name, but he is ultimately responsible for me even playing any instrument. He's made the most famous movie soundtracks of all time, most notably "The good the bad and the ugly" main theme. AH AH AH AH.... wao wao wao...

Yup, that's him. But besides that, he was ...
