1. Never video yourself playing along with a recorded version of a song. It's tasteless, boring, and makes you look like a tool.
that brutal lol.
Im not gonna take offence at that cos its true. I know videoing yourself playing along to a recorded version of a song isnt exactly the best way to showcase your skills and its not something im overly comfortable with to be honest. The fact is im rather strapped for cash so i cant afford anything remotely fancy that can provide me with backing tracks etc, the best i can manage is putting a cd in the Hi-Fi and playing along with it. The only thing i have thats even close to recording equipment is my digital camera.
I wanna get myself in a band and i thought having a bit of an example of what i can play (even though the song in question isnt exactly rocket science) might help. The fact is theres thousands of people on here with profiles that dont make themselves stand out at all. Its impossible to tell someones ability without hearing them play, thats kinda why i put it up, its not a self indulgent thing or anything like that.
I personally was fairly happy with the take and thought it came out sounding pretty clean and in time, although im sure you guys whove been playing a lot longer than me may disagree a little.
Im just trying my best here, like we all are
