Hey all,

I havn't posted in a while, but I've been a member for years and really love this site and it's members... always been a great resource for me and I have much respect for the regulars.

So - Music has always been a big hobby of mine in addition to lifting, so I began putting a few vids together. I am mostly acoustic guitar right now but would like to collaborate with more instruments eventually. I'm just trying to get feedback right now, and hope that some people enjoy it in the process.

If you are a metal head and don't enjoy acoustic you probably wont like it because this is an acoustic cover of a wyclef song. I also covered 'blackbird' and 'hey ya' by outkast, which can be found by checking the other vids in my profile.

I do it for fun and because I love music... if this post is against forum rules for any reason mods please take it down and I'm sorry... if not, let me know what you think... thanks guys

I've played for years and did a bit of playing out with one other guy at the bar scene, etc.
All acoustic so I can appreciate the music.

But DAMN!!! you're good!
Your playing and voice are both superb.

Keep it up.

I really appreciate you posting your song.
It gave me a much needed boost to pick up my Seagull and play some tunes.

Still up at 2am and working on a new set list!

Thanks,
Sal

lol tell me about it... the past year has been a dismal one for my lifting, the job I have keeps me on the road a lot and I havn't been able to have an type of schedule and traveling makes eating clean\enough really hard. been kind of a maintenence year... and by maintenence I mean making sure my spare tire stays inflated

fortunately, I am planning on a job change soon to free up a little more time for music which will also nix the traveling so I can get back to beating the log book. next time I post a video i'm gonna have 150lb dumbbells tied to the the guitar and i'll be doing shrugs and hang snatches while i'm playing

thanks again for the kind words bros,

J
