Live Show Footage With Helmet Cam View

Comments (4)

Here’s a really cool video of me playing Bass guitar with Teagan And The Tweeds at Sticky Lips BBQ in Rochester, NY on 3/30/2012. Since I don’t play live shows all that often, I wanted to take this opportunity to do something really cool and a little ridiculous….

To catch some really cool footage I wore a bike helmet with a helmet cam attached to it during one of the songs so that you can see what it looks like from my perspective on stage!

Yes I looked pretty stupid, but it was a ton of fun and we caught some really cool video. I wore it for one song called “He Gotta Go” and then the drummer put the helmet cam on for a drum solo he did at the end of the song “Crazy About You Baby”.

Enjoy!

What songs have you been wanting to learn on guitar? If they sound too hard or difficult Do Not Let That Stop You!

You CAN learn and play anything you want to. Set goals and work every day towards achieving those goals, whether it’s for playing guitar or anything else. I had a goal of learning this piece of music the very day I first heard it which was probably 15 years ago now. Now that I’m able to play it, it’s time to start setting some new goals and figure out what I want to learn or write next.

PLEASE comment on this post and let us know what are your goals for your guitar playing. What do you want to learn?

If your having trouble, don’t know where to start, or would just like some personal advice and help, please email me and let me know: mike@rockguitarpower.com

Looking forward to hearing back from the RGP community! You guys Rock!

Playing Guitar With Your Eyes Closed – A Lesson On Playing Emotionally

Comments (2)

One of the aspects of guitar playing that you should always strive for is playing with emotion. Whether it’s your own music or someone else’s.

To illustrate this idea and give you some great tips on how to get started, I made a lesson where I play some really intense guitar for you….With My Eyes Closed!

Check out the following video where I play the intro to “Asturias” by Isaac Albeniz

Now please understand this is not to show off or wax my ego…I find that when you are able to play guitar without looking at it, you can reach a new level of playing because you can shut off the sense of sight and focus on sound and how you want your playing to be heard.

It’s a cool concept and a really awesome some to apply to your playing!

Be sure to leave your comments, questions and other rants below

Practice, Practice, Practice!

If you want to see the first video I made for this song where I talk about using a metronome and writing strong melodies: Click Here

Also, Go here to see a video of John William’s perform this piece: http://youtu.be/wDAHl54V0CU

This performance is what inspired me to learn this piece. In my opinion he plays this flawlessly with so much emotion it’s amazing. Yet he doesn’t do so much as flinch while playing the whole thing!

P.S. I’m always looking for new topics to cover and help the RGP community out on so if you have something your struggling with in your playing, please let me know and I’ll create a lesson to help you out!
