This is a video blog on the topic of guitars. Particularly if they are being played in the vicinity of upstate New York. About half of these videos are me recording myself playing guitar, bass, and sometimes drums at the computer with a basic setup. I try to zoom in tight so you can get a look at the chords. I can't sing - but I often do.
Also featured here are performances that I either shot myself, or otherwise obtained, of great guitarists playing in New York's Capital District and Lower Adirondacks. Check out Les Paul, Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan, Pete Townshend, Shannon Curfman, Albert Lee (with Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings), and lots more.
I recently joined a covers/originals classic/alternative band (The Fizziks) that plays out all over capitaland. We have a seperate channel with the username of "thefizziks" (not sure if I can put a URL in here so just add "/thefizziks" after the youtube URL.)

In which I attempt to record a cover version of every song I know by The Cars. I've only done a few so far.
Way back in the 90's, I got to chat with Rock Stars on the radio as part of my duties as a DJ. (I have since gotten a sensible job.)I have only audio of these encounters so I slap some slideshows together with my interview and call it a video. So here you go. I'll make more as I find stuff.
