ayyy I've never really posted any of my music stuff on here but I figured someone might enjoy this basically last December I was over in Japan and I had the chance to meet up with a few of my friends to play some anime music lol they let me pick the whole setlist so it ended up being Girls Dead Monster and Hikarisyuyo covers but the crowd seemed to like it. I know very little Japanese, and only the Bassist could speak English It was also the first time I've ever played live which was pretty nerve-wracking! I fuck up quite a lot, and I very nearly smashed a very expensive guitar at around 14:00 but it was hella fun! [MEDIA]http://youtu.be/tC7mnuhnqh0[/MEDIA] it's a long ass video so don't feel the need to watch it all. I suppose if any seasoned guitarists have any advice for me then that would be appreciated! (incase you couldn't guess i'm the lanky gaijin on the left with the red guitar)
Congratulations man.
That looks really fun lol - I really don't think you did bad at all especially for a first performance; picking the setlist yourself must've been pretty nice.
Pretty good! The female singer sounds great
it sounds like your guitar was out of tune, other than that nice job playing live is a lot of fun.
garage punk sound with a cute female singer...i can rock out to this!:rock:
[QUOTE=Pen Straw;47918932]Pretty good! The female singer sounds great[/QUOTE] Female singer sounded like she was out of tune the whole time. I dunno if it was because of the distance, if it was because of it being a recording or what.
[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;47919047]it sounds like your guitar was out of tune, other than that nice job playing live is a lot of fun.[/QUOTE] Guitar was in tune, tone was just a bit muddy, maybe needed a little more presence. Not trying to be overcritical here, serious congratulations! Must've been one hell of a rush. If I can say though, considering I'm only on the first song, you might be getting a little too hyped on the rhythm. Alone it adds a shitton of energy to what you're doing, but it's a little inconsistent when you add the other guitarist who's playing a more cleaner approach

Cheers guys!! Yeah I think my guitar was out of tune for pretty much the whole thing which was a bit of a bummer... New strings + very hot stage are hardly the best conditions for a guitar... ): I think that's the thing I gotta watch out for the most! Not sure on the brand of the guitar, I know it was an expensive (maybe custom made by a Luther) Japanese telecaster. I'll ask my friend next time I see him! If you like my music then I have a Soundcloud where I make and cover music similar to this! Check it out here - [url]https://soundcloud.com/bsmoked[/url]
