Ryan Knorr - Vlog 1 (Live From Youtube, Q&A, Thanks!)

[panterarocker0691]

i have a good question ryan im also a musician but i need to overcome my nervousness any tips

[knorrby11]

@panterarocker0691 do you mean in terms of performing or just in general? either way I have always been a shy person and therefore my nerves come into play as well. it really just takes practice and putting yourself out there.

RYAN:

I don't know if you ever look at this vlog anymore but I have a request: Wondering if you have ever listened to KURT NILSEN from Norway?! He has some great songs that I know you could pull off... 'My Street' 'Never Easy' 'Crazy Crazy Nights'

Hope you look into this....keep it up

[knorrby11]

@egfdog i actually have heard of him. i'll look into those suggestions and see what I can do. thanks for the request!

[GaPeach4949]

How about doing Nickelback's "If Everyone Cared"?

[GaPeach4949]

What's your wife's name and how long ya'll been married? Also what is your day job? Read all your comments/answers and didn't see your answer about what inspires you and who your musical influences are or were when you first started. Do you have any brothers or sisters? Does anyone else in your family play musical instruments or sing?

[JohnnyMarquescovers]

@GaPeach4949 he mentioned in his second vlog that he has two younger brothers and he has a wife named Kelsey. and he answered my question on musical influences

[nhatthinh91]

I like WHAT ABOUT ME. A good song. I hope you can sing more and be famous. :) Try, nothing you can't do.

[MrAandH]

hey man, do u think u could try last to know by three days grace? that would make my day

[SGE4LIFE96]

Hey Ryan,

I Love your music man :)

I hope you`re getting famous some day, and i think you will.... I already showed your videos to some of my friends, but cause of the comments I read on this video, i'm gonna show your videos them ALL ;D

By the way, do you also make requests? (i ask because you're probably busy)....

If Yes, I really can imagine you to sing some of the slower Green Day stuff like 21 Guns :) Or Daughtry- i think you would do an awesome job in ,,over you" or ,,open up your eyes" :)

[knorrby11]

i've done quite a bit of daughtry but I will see what I can do with your other suggestions

[SGE4LIFE96]

yes I know you've done ,,no surprise" and ,,Home" by Daughtry ;)

...Thanks Ryan, i'll be the first to watch it ;D

[96gaven]

[egfdog]

Ryan:

Have you ever heard of David Gray? It would be great to hear you cover "This Years Love" or "Fugitive"....

[knorrby11]

Yes I have heard of David Gray and I really like the new album...I will look at the possibilities of doing one of his songs as a cover

[eaglesclaw69]

[FrozenFire786]

What kind of guitar do you use? Also, what's the inspiration for your music?

[knorrby11]

I use a Martin DX1 in most of my new videos and an Alvarez RD8 in some of the older ones

[romperfry]

HI, Ryan. Just wanted to say is that I love your songs. My question for you is: what was the first song you ever wrote & how old were you when you wrote it?

[smittyfan2007]

Will you play the piano in future songs that will be on an album? Loved your version of Watch Over You.

[knorrby11]

I just wrote a new song on the piano so I don't know when that will be out or what album it might be on, but yes I am still working on the piano.

[helgewieding]

[melkesjokolade15]

Ahh I love that you're gonna start making vlogs.. :D !!

In that Q&A video, can't you talk a bit about you growing up and when and how music came into your life? What's your job? Got a girlfriend?What are your dreams for the future? (music-wise talking)

=D Looking forward to it!!

[knorrby11]

I answered some of this in the new vlog but I am married so no girlfriend :) and I'm just going to continue to write and send out my stuff to as many people that want to hear it and go from there.

[UROCKMYSOX249]

@knorrby11 dayum, Ryan's taken..

lucky girl =]

[SixxLeafClover]

what is your inspirations in writing songs?

[womanizer6902]

God man you sould come to Canada xD Toronto for March brake xD

[MollyWoggs1]

Where do you work?

Are you going to be touring anytime soon?

Is the EP going to turn into an album we can buy?

[knorrby11]

I won't be touring until I have a large enough fan base to be able to do that financially. So that means we need some more fans all over the place that would want to go to a show and then I can come out and play for everyone. The EP will probably be separate from any other albums but I still plan a full length album after I finish the EP.

[soccaluva94]

do you play any other instuments besides the guitar?

where do you get the inspirations for your songs?

you're great :)

[JohnnyMarquescovers]

[countryman117]

How long have you been playing guitar and are you self taught? sp? lol

[knorrby11]

I've been playing guitar for 7-8 or years now and yes I am self taught.

[lovetakescourage1127]

Why are you so awesome? Ha ha. :o)

Whats your favorite song of all time?

[knorrby11]

Favorite song of all time is much too difficult to pinpoint. If I think of just one I will get back to you :)

[danny123654123]

how long have you been singing and writing your own songs?

[travh2007g]

How do you go about writing a song?

[austintheng]

Other than music, what are your hobbies or interests that you plan to do in the future or now?

[JohnnyMarquescovers]
