Post videos of yourself playing your instrument thread, v. pink oboe

If you didn't have such an ugly mug, I might be inclined to play some jazz with you. I certainly wouldn't feature you as the lead soloist though.

How Ghandi of you, you non-Ghandi.

Yeah we'll just put you on your drum kit right on the front edge of the stage, i'm sure that shit'll fly.

Well I was thinking we could have a jazz trio featuring a ukulele player with you on rhythm guitar and me on bongos.

Here is a vid of me practice hihat splashing over just some random grooves and rudiment paradiddle fills. I watch back a lot of my practice sessions to see what ideas I come up with. Nothing worse than doing something great and then you can't figure it out a week later.

The crappy Youtube video

sometimes i forget how decently exceptional i can be at jazz guitar, but i never play it anymore.

Cool, thanks! Yeah, I should either have had it photocopied or memorised.

Also liked your stuff. The Under A Glass Moon solo was great. Do you have exclusive access to a guitar shop to record your videos?

I teach there and I make some quick demos for some of their gear when I'm done teaching to help them out. Didn't expect anyone to check the others out!


Also, thanks for the comment Chronowarp! I made a few short arrangements of standards, I guess this one might seem less samey if put in context with the others, but listening back with what you said in mind I definitely think there is room for improvement!

Just made a thread for this in MD, but fuck it:

god i want to kill you.

That bass sounds HUGE.

Wasn't your first concert N'snyc?

N'sync faggit, not backstreet boys.

and i dont want to kill him because i don't like the backstreet boys (i love 90s pop), but because i have a gag reflex when metal bands do ironic covers of pop music. no offense, dan, its well produced and executed well and all that jazz, but it still makes me want to stick his dick in a vat of acid.

I can go with that. It's not really meant to sit anywhere near our own material, so I don't see that as much of a problem, lol.

The whole reason we did it was because we had an interview with TotalRock Radio, and they'd been having a discussion about cover songs earlier in the evening. As a joke they asked if we'd ever consider doing a Backstreet Boys cover, and for some reason we said yes and actually followed up on it. Turned out to be a fun testing ground for recording something with the new recruit before we start the album anyway, and we came up with most of the arrangement spontaneously in the studio, which was a very different way of working for us. That it came out as well as it did is just amusing to us more than anything. It was just a bit of fun, so if haters gonna hate then whatever. I really don't mind.

I dispute the notion that Poker Face is a good song though.

This is from a few years ago. Unplanned jam of an original blues tune of mine at the end of a long night of drinking and general debauchery. I'm on guitar and "vocals"

One more - this one is really old. This is from a sound check for a gig that we played later on that night. As you look at the video, I'm the guitar player on the right side of the stage, playing the black guitar, wearing jeans and a red-stripped shirt. You can tell it's me from the 70's porn actor mustache This is Thin Lizzy - "The Boys are Back"

caught wind of the mustache thing - holy fuck it's true

Two vids from our latest show.

why post rock that much

I don't think our music is even that post-rockish.

<3

you motherfucker stop bumping this thread if you're not going to be posting a video of yourself lashie'ing the fuck out or hendrix or yngwie or some shit and making faces and playin mad tunes like ur boy bballbrett

Scf is pretty good at lightbulb

god i want to kill your virtuoso bass ass.

meh

jesus how far you've fallen. what happened to the glasses-wearing, pink floyd loving dude that wasn't a huge faggot hipster

This was good but you should have tuned your bass before. If you look closely you can notice yourself tuning it in the middle.

If anyone's interested, I put this transcription up on my website: http://bradcheeseman.com/?page_id=1095

That is just awesome! Great playing.

for fucks sake cheesus stop being so good, jesus christ man give the rest of us a chance

but i cant even tune my bass

A little snippet from a practice session the other day. I was working on flam based rudiments and flam rolls, so this has a bunch of that, lots of 3 against 4, but I tried to keep the whole thing groovy. Lemme know what you think!

Nice!! Just liked you guys on facebook. I'm really digging the sound so far!

Thanks!

sopostrock

Birmingham's finest!

was that some icarus lives at the end?

Here are two clips taken from a gig the other night by some random dude in the crowd, but I'm bummed because in the second one, the dude cut the video at my favorite drum moment of that tune, but oh well. The first tune is my favorite orchestration that I've come up with, it's a mallet and a triangle beater in my right hand, mallet and a hot rod in the left. The second beat is an homage to DJ Shadow for me. Lemme know what you guys think!

Sick playing, Funky Drummer! Your drumming is really fucking groovy in that second tune, I'd love jamming with you.

Here are a couple more solo-guitar arrangements I made, one for Billie Jean and one for I Wish. Sorry for the french-speaking and the re-tuning, if you want to skip straight to the tunes go to 0:30 for the first one and 5:30 for the second one.

Can't see alot of me in this video, but pretty proud of this performance as a band. (I'm the keyboardist!)

Great feel and groove!

Here's me playing a terrible song terribly:

sound like emg cleans

thanks dude, much appreciated!



Just uploaded an Animals as Leaders vid as well
