One of my good intents for 2024 was to post a few videos of my playing this year, but in the end I ended up with only two videos in March 
.
I’m still no performer and this rough year took all my energy, so there was nothing left to invest into recording something.
Then, our charming @roger_holland posted his new christmas thread We wish everyone a happy holiday season 
and I decided to give myself a kick in the … to do at least a recording of my humble attempt on “Silent Night”.
I started this on acoustic guitar but the ongoing buzzing of one of my strings was so annoying that I finally switched to electric guitar, inspired by Rogier’s electric version of “Silent Night”.
A few weeks ago, I bought myself a Fender Mustang Micro Plus, a really great piece of gear and I mucked a bit around with the given presets.
The “Swirling Echos” preset was a nice starting point to play around and create a different sounding “Silent Night” version with a few changes out of it.
Today I decided to record during my practice session, even, when it’s still a work in progress and far from perfect. I’m running out of time with my other christmas preparations and later this week, I would have had another excuse not to post 
…
So this is just a simple take, no cutting, no polishing (neither for the video nor for my face 
). It’s just me and the best I could get out today after several sleepless nights (that’s the dark side of the full moon 
) on a weak day!
Still a few days left for practice…
