Thanks everybody big_smile

In October I'm gonna buy an acoustic amp and an electro-acoustic guitar + micro, like this I could play live. I could also meet people and maybe future band mate.
Because at this gig I only came with my guitar, all the instruments, cables, micros, are own by the band. The main singer of Dust'N'Rain owns a musical store, we never miss equipments ^^

I didn't know it before the concert, the drummer is professionnal, he lives of his music, he has several bands. With hindsight, I think it was better I didn't know it xD

I don't know if I look relax, though I hadn't the choice, I had stress, mainly when singing the first song (Ride Me Down Easy), I was more enjoying the stage when singing the second song and I definitely know I wanna do more concert smile

Hello!

I didn't post for a while on chordie ^^'
I'm glad to show you the 2 songs I played and sang, it was my first concert so go eazy on me ^^

Ride Me Down Easy :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExJ3ZXDnSIc

Wagon Wheel :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x08jwbb6yA4

Here goes the story :
I've been to several gigs of a band called "Dust'N'Rain" and they wanted to do something special for the 4th of July. So they searched American singers... Though it's not easy in Belgium!
They knew I was half US and I play guitar and sing so they invited me

After 2 rehearsals we were ready!

It was a great experience! Before that, I never played with a band... I hope I'm gonna find mate, I have 6 original songs and couple of covers I like to do...

I'll soon buy new stuff and post more content on my youtube channel.


Thanks for watching!

Sounds really good and different, great folk cover of Sweet Child of Mine smile

I have done the 24 European teams, USA and Colombia, I just need to do the 14 other teams.
I'm also working on a video promotion.
Typically, it presents the match you gonna watch (?) I don't know if there's soccer fans here!?
For those who don't know, the next Copa America will be host by the... *drum roll* ... USA!

So here's the video :

Nice fingerstyle!
Didn't know the song, it's a nice discover wink

I checked the original version, and I have to say I prefer your version!
The original is too fast in my opinion. Both are great, but I have a preference for your cover smile
Funny to hear about Neil Young ^^

Roger Guppy,

Indeed, there's no more stock! It's exactly a "made to order". :-)
I'm actually working with Shapeways because it allows me to have little profit on the models I made, without buying a 3D printer. I'm the "designer". So I don't need to think about the shipping, packaging, etc. I "simply" do my 3D objects.

If you're interested, here's the shipping cost:

mekidsmom,
Yes! I played the guitar and did the voices! It's really cool because I can mix my passion for the 3D and the music big_smile

It's a... How could I say... "No one wants me, so I try it on my own". I'm Belgian American (I, actually, only have the Belgian citizenship), my father is American, my mother Belgian. Belgium has a really really high unemployment rate, my area has around 25% of unemployment rate.
I'm 25 years old, I speak French, English, I'm actually learning Spanish at night school, and I know the basis of Dutch language. I learned Logistics... And... Nothing!? I have friends in the same situation...

I'm actually waiting my visa to live in the US, I know it won't be the goldrush, but I have faith in the US, and I'm quite sure it'll be a bit easier to get a job.
For example, I know there's only 5% of unemployment rate in the whole state of Virginia! (And Virginia is 3 times bigger than Belgium)
I'm not trying to be Director of the bank, I often applied for jobs like order picker (All work is valuable work), but I'm saying I tried everything and I'm still stuck with that situation.
I don't wanna talk about politics... But there's a lot of things going in the wrong way in Belgium. Things won't get better in my opinion...


I'm doing this for different reasons... :
- To earn extra-cash obviously. But even if I don't get a single dollar I do it for those other reasons :
- To prove I can do things : like 3D modeling, animation, etc. (and I have a basic computer, almost outdated).
- Speaking different languages.
- Shapeways is international : "Headquartered in New York, Shapeways has factories and offices in Eindhoven, Queens, and Seattle."
- Maybe someone nice would need my skills, it's just an open door to what I do.

Anyway, I think it's only positive. ^^

Thanks for your answers! smile
And thank you for letting me posting about my 3D printing shop. big_smile

Nice song and I like Phil's version too!

Thanks Jandle!
And dino48 it's not a blues tune... I just use the word "blues" because it's when you're sad/when you got the blues...

Hi,

I wanna share with you one of my own original song, it's call "When You Got The Blues", it's folk/country, well I guess!?
I wanna know what you think about this song, do you like it? Is it listenable? I'm not at ease with singing...

My family told me I have a nasal voice... I tried different ways to sing, with this one I can do what I want without any pain on the neck/throat... But if you have any tips it's ok! By the way, I saw it's common on folk/country song, I'm maybe influenced by what I use to listen...

Original Tuning = One step down tuning
