Hi youtube, as you don't already know, I sound like a cat being strangled when I sing. I have just started playing guitar and have learnt a few Taylor swift and Demi Lovato songs, but would never dream of singing along to them, even by myself!
I have been playing flute for 3 years now and have just passed my grade 7, so yesterday, I had the idea to play the melody to songs on flute and accompany them on guitar.
I went about recording the two parts seperately and then mixed them together (badly) on my laptop. I'm very sorry for the bad quality, especially on the melody. I recorded the flute part from sat in front of my laptop and used the built in microphone. Problem is, when you play the flute half your breath goes into the instrument while the other half goes across the top of the mouthpiece and out into the air. Unfortunately that meant that there was a lot of breath going into the microphone making the quality sound very "breathy" and basically rubbish.
However, you can understand the general (gist/jist?) of what I was atempting to, and therefore if you quite like what you hear please leve a comment below the video! If I get enough positive feedback, I might just invest in some better recording equiptment over the next few months to improve the quality of upcoming videos.
On the other hand if I get bad comments (please don't be too mean because I know personally that the quality of my flute playing is much better in real life than it sounds on the video) or no feedback at all, then you won't be seeing any more videos of me and I'll just vanish from the face of youtube.
By the way, I tried to add in what sounds like the violin part (which I picked out by ear, as I did with the melody) and at the beginning it sounds terrible, as well as the beginning of the instrumental in the middle, but please forgive me for that, I'm not sure I'll attempt that again!
So, yes I played all of the parts by ear so sorry I think there are a couple of rythmical mistakes in the melody line (because as I was recording I only had my pre-recorded guitar part playing in my ears, not the actual song so I didn't have the lyrics to follow). Therefore, I do not own the original song however the music you are hearing now is all my own work. I do not claim to own anything else used in this video. I made the background image using 2 images I found off goodle, so I do not own either of those either!
Of course, the lyrics are included on the video so please have fun singing along and let me know what you think at the end! Subscribe if you want....
