First Song - Distant Frowns

Ok this is my first attempt at creating my own song. I created the cord progress and most of the lyrics with help from my friend Lee, who is also the vocalist for the track. Now although I came up with it this is not actually me playing it as Im still not really smooth enough to play through a whole five minute song.

This is a completely rough version as it is recorded all in one go with Lee playing and singing continuously a bit like a live lounge I guess. There are things that still need changing and improving but it should give you an idea of how the song will sound when finished.

Just click play below and have a listen.

First electric guitar and ITS A FENDER!!

My new Fender Stratocaster 50's Classic Player is da bomb shiznik. So after buying my new acoustic a little while back and progressively getting better at playing I thought it was time for an electric guitar. I always knew I was going to have one good acoustic and one good electric but I had never really thought about what electric I was going to get. I did a lot of looking around, talking to friends and looking at what some of the bands i listen to play and eventually came up with getting a stratocaster.

Fender has always been a company that I like the sound of and that have always made quality products so I am very happy to have one of my own. I had to wait a while to order in the two tone sunburst finish but it was well worth it as I think it looks gorgeous.

Im starting to come up with a lot of my own riffs and cord progressions now so hopefully some songs on the way soon.

For some reason I can not seem to upload the actual video to blogspot but here is a link to it. This is the video that I made as a promotion / portfolio piece for Allied site personnel, it is not the full finished article but it is a near finished rough edit.
