I wrote, played, & recorded all of the musical parts on the instruments in all of the clips that I've posted & claim to be original, without anyone's help or direct influence. This is my own material copyrighted in my name. Cool Edit Pro was used to overdub the other instruments & create the CD playing through a stereo in the background that I couldn't physically play in the videos. The copyrights to these "original" pieces have been registered with The US Copyright Office. The cover tunes display the high level of effort that was expended to learn & replicate each masterpiece in full detail & accuracy. Unfortunately I'm human & each video contains at least 1 bad note or a minor rough spot. I've always enjoyed doing covers far more than writing. It's more challenging to force myself to do things that don't come naturally, & more gratifying to succeed at it, instead of writing & doing what does come easily. It has greatly expanded my overall appreciation of music & ability to play.
