So this was Chelsea High Talent Show 2008 that I hosted along with two other people (Hamza Abdul and Oscar Alcazar for those REALLY curious about my cohosts) a few months ago.
The first half of the clip is me playing the intro to Crazy Train, but I thought that would be an awesome way to open up the show
The second half is me playing God Knows for my act, winning me second place. I know there are mistakes, but I was nervous since I only started guitar six months ago. I forgot some parts too, and that led to improv, but all in all, it was a valiant effort in my opinion. The solo is improv because I didn't have time to learn the full solo.
Guitar: Ibanez RG1570 Prestige
Amplifier: Marshall Mode Four with 1960 Lead Cabinet
Pedals: Noise Gate/Suppresor (I had Digital delay but it stopped working RIGHT before I was going to go on, so I disconnected it ASAP)
Cable: Monster
Thank you for watching, and keep in mind this was a few months ago.

I made this song for a history project in AP US History. All the instruments are recorded
I made this song for a history project in AP US History. All the instruments are recorded by me, the horrible vocals are also me. Yes I know they are bad, I'm sorry. The tune itself is from the LeetStreet Boy's "Yuri The Only One". I'd like to thank them for letting me use the song in this way.
It took me a few weeks to record the instruments, since I had to figure out bass, and lead guitar. I also had to make sure the song sync'd. I did get an A, so YES! My influences are my teacher Ms. Collins, AP US History, the class, and of course Matt, of 2EastMusic.
Lyrics
(Intro Riff)
You're the 32nd President of the United States
You're in a wheelchair but you got what it takes
Election of 32, you brought USA to a new clean slate
The Great Depression was no match for you
Your social programs always speak for true
If you don't like FDR then go get a clue!
For the farms, and the poor, and banks
You'd do anything
For us you'd do anything
(Chorus) FDR's the only president for me
He made the new deal can't you see?
FDR's the only president for me
He stands for justice and unity
FDR's the only president for me
He saved the people of this great country
So I hereby dub thee
Best President in History!
Who but Hoover oh give me a break?
The man plagued this country with his mistakes.
That's why you, FDR, are as sweet as cake.
You gave people jobs with the CCC
Saved poor men and their families
You tried your best to end all the poverty
For the farms, and the poor, and banks
You'd do anything
For us, you'd do anything
(Chorus, exclude last line)
FDR's wife has got it pretty right
She did a lot for a woman of her time
I'm not sure what fits here that could rhyme
She is pretty riiiight
FDR's wife has got it pretty right
She may not have been good looking
But that is quite alright
FDR's wife has got it pretty right
Eleanor Roosevelt is somewhat riiight
(Soft Chorus, exclude last line)
(Chorus)
END

I was training my ear by tabbing random songs when someone sent me this video of the "Leetstreet Boys" and I was like "Might as well tab this for fun". Still a work in progress, and I just started last night.
Yes, I do realize I still have a LONG way to go when it comes to playing guitar but I bet all the criticism will help me get better, so please criticize constructively!
Gear: Ibanez RG1570, Line 6 Spider III (Gain at half, Treble at Full, Bass at 1/3, Mid at Mid, Slight reverb, Pickup on Neck) and recorded using QuickCam Pro 5000 (I need to get a Pod)
