My video cover of Fireflies! :slight_smile: Kinda fumbled in one verse part but its not to bad, didnt wanna redo! Think im ready to perform for the kids Wed!!!

I just wanted to share all of my recordings and such that I have done in the past year or so that are some of my favorite achievements ever since ive been playing… Ive been playing for about 14 years now or so and still going!! Lemme know which ones are your fav!!! I try to record videos and such on showing how I put things together if anyone is curious!!! Cheers!!

Probably my most fav one I have done is this one!!! Alykat was onto me and I stepped it up a notch on this one, and honestly i think its one of my better ones enjoy!! Dont Fear The Reaper!!!

Heres another one of my fav songs I just found out about this band not long ago, not perfect by any means but still one of my fav ones for sure!!! Pop Evils survivor!!

A song that I thought turned out awesome, even though some didnt like it! I absolutely loved how it turned out!! BLVD Of Broken Dreams!!!

Next up kinda of a love song and ballad which im a sucker for! I thought this turned out pretty well!!! Did my own take of it!!! Eagle Eye Cherrys, Save Tonight!!

One of my my most fav bands is Nirvana and well needless to say its not perfect and kinda had a rough start and some dont like how I did the chorus, but i love it!!! Heart Shaped Box!!

Another Nirvana song!! Polly… Kinda a depressing and scary song, another one of my favs by them!!

I know I have alot of dispute with this one and I did do my own take of it, though I like it so Ill post it anyways lol. Dreams By Fleetwood!!

I really think this one turned out awesome!!! Another one of my fav songs!! I try to put the videos together to let you guys see what im doing and how its done, in case anyone is interested!! Heres For What Its Worth!!!

One of our original collabs which i thought turned out great and one of my most fun/best projects imo thanks to Alykat!!! :slight_smile: Was gonna try to get this one on the Talent Show for the kids but we went with Count On Me instead!!! Heres Knock It Out Of The Park!!

Another Original Project thanks to Alykat!!! This was just such a masterpiece and Aly did so well with this one!!! Video needs work still, the editing wasnt cooperating with me lol. Heres Brighter Days!!!

Heres Iris, Ive had some say I sound like the original! Great Song!!! Enjoy!!!

Heres my take of Tom Pettys Free Fallin!! Awesome Song!!! Have had alot of good feedback on this one!!!

If you like oldschool classic rock songs cant go wrong with Wild Thing its easy to play too!! Enjoy!!

Im a sucker for Imagine Dragons!! So i had to do my take on this and it turned out great Imo!! Heres Radioactive!!

Another collab with Aly!! This turned out great!!! Jar Of Hearts!!!

One of my first songs I recorded with drums!! Gotta love the Black Keys!! Heres Gold On The Cieling!!

Another BOC song that I love! Just me and the guitar!!! Burnin For You!!!

Last but not least, Hey Joe, my own take of this classic!!! Enjoy!!

Ok ok! I think thats plenty and this is from the past year of me playing!! I think i have came along way in my journey in learning and covering songs and having some originals here and there as well!! Theres more!! But i think ive posted enough lol. Let me know which ones are yalls fav!!! :slight_smile: Thanks everyone and for the support!!! Enjoy!!

You have made progress, Bytron.

Perhaps you should consider a Learning Log and maintain a catalog of recordings made, which could be separated into solo covers, originals, and collaborations. You can do that with links to eitehr the AVOYP topics or to the videos on YouTube. That would be done here: Community Hub > Learning Logs You can update that when you post fresh recordings in a reply so it stays current.

I think that may be a more appropriate place to post that, rather than as a lengthy AVOYP as done here. Not that posting a long AVOYP is against any rules; dn’t get me wrong.

And you can add other posts reflecting on your learning journey as you progress.

Is 2025 coming to an end? LOL, if so I need to start my Xmas shopping, pronto! I believe we did Brighter Days in 2024.

Take a look at this:

Intro / G C / F /

Verse / G C / F /

Chorus /F Am / G / F C / Em F / F C / F G Am / F C / D7

You are not changing your chords at the right time & its mainly in the chorus so that is why your vocal timing is off ( the chords are not getting the correct number of beats ) .

Here’s a tutorial www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYxE7fOCJqo
