Kollaboration cover “Hey, soul sister” by Train. I know that there are a lot of covers of this song out there, but this one is my favorite. All of the artists featured in this video were artists I have been following for a while. So it was a treat for me when this video came out.

Here is a list of the artists featured in this video.

Very excited about Wednesday's Odwick video

jakelodwick:

I’ve broken the mold and made a video without me in it.

I was getting pretty sick of myself anyway. Sort of overstayed my welcome.

To see the new video early, join the mailing list on Odwick.com and I’ll send a password-protected Vimeo link on Tuesday.

I am pretty excited about this season of oddwick.

For those people who love JRPG/anime music. Lonlonjp’s channel has tons of fingerstyle guitar covers. This is one of my favorite songs in the naruto series “Naruto Greif and Sorrow” by Toshiro Masuda. There are also tons of final fantasy covers that he does. Check him out if you have the chance.

This is a power ballad test that I did. I used a drum snare mic to record this so don’t expect studio quality. Enjoy!

I seem to be getting better at this fingerstyle guitar business.

Fireflies - Owl City Guitar Tab

I took some time today to convert Kelly’s arrangement of Fireflies to Guitar Pro. Its a free lesson on his blog which has plenty more tabs.

jakelodwick:

Today I have the honor of introducing a project that’s been in development for almost two years.

In early 2008 I talked to my friend Michael about making an album for my then-new music company, Normative. He had an exciting concept: build a musical contraption, a one-man-band “rig” that looked like a big metal box, but unfolded to reveal a platform, stool, drum kit, keyboard stand, looping pedals, and a guitar. He would build the box, then make an album that could be performed live, by himself, in one sitting. I said, Sounds incredible, here’s some money, I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

He spend 4 solitary months building the sexiest, manliest instrument I’d ever seen, a few days writing the music, and another few months recording it. The album wasn’t just ‘a bunch of songs’ but a continuous story about a boy who was born laughing and whose legs kicked relentlessly, whose movement was impossible to control, who could not sleep, whose parents “took shifts, a steady rotation of looking after him, while the other one would sleep out in the car,” drumming on every conceivable surface, pounding the parents’ belongings to smithereens, immune to adult anti-psychotic medication … an individual incapable, by his nature, of being restrained; his bombastic inner fire and innocence; his relentless and violent quest for peace, and his eventual triumph.

After wrapping the record, I asked my favorite illustrator Ira if he wanted to do something kind of… weird. Let’s not make a music video and let’s not make ‘album art’. Ira, can you make a loooonnnng illustration that scrolls across the viewer’s screen for the entire 45 minute album? He said, Sounds good, pay up and I’ll get back to you in a few months.

The months dragged on (but who cares when ART MUST EXIST WITHOUT COMPROMISE?) … And he returned with 50 feet of painstakingly, achingly detailed and imaginative, hand-drawn art. Totally original stuff — the sort of magic you only get when one brilliant person tunnels into an impossibly ambitious project for a really long time.

We stitched it together in After Effects, synched it with the music, and uploaded it to Vimeo. And now, well, here it is, you can watch this “illustrative score”, this new and beautiful thing, two single-minded visions gracefully interwoven like … like snakes having sex!

But don’t watch it now, here in the Tumblr dashboard, with the lights on, your hand on your mouse, looking for the next nano-meme to microstimulate you. When you click the link below, be prepared to invest 45 minutes with your headphones on, the lights off, seated comfortably, and with fullscreen on. This is the real deal, people, and I promise it is worth watching.

Song of the Day: Kotaro Oshio - Oasis

Out of all of Kotaro Oshio’s works, this one is dear to my heart because it simply reminds me of peace in every possible way. It was Kotaro Oshio who drew me to the art of acoustic fingerstyle guitar and is one of my inspiration in all my musical endeavors. I aspire, one day, to play like him, and possibly with him.

I love finding new finger style guitar artists especially if they play like this.

Greensleeves Fingerstyle Guitar Tab

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:16:00 -0500

One of my first fingerstyle guitar songs I have learned. Really simple, fun to play and is a good beginners song to start off with. Again you will need Guitar Pro in order to view the file. I added the lyrics and chords used in the song inside the file.
