Hi, I posted a video response on your channel, I did a cover with your music, thanks!

[NitroRat]

Hey Pam, That was so cool of you to do that! Your vocals sound great. Sure wish I could sing :-) Take care and have a great New Year!

This is very good. I don't know that much about guitar, but this sounds very good to me. keep up the good work.

[NitroRat]

Zildjian - thanks a lot. Much appreciated.

WOW!!!! amazing music my friend. do you like the firewire mixer ? i was thinking about getting that...may i ask what kind of computer you used to record this?

[NitroRat]

Hey Rocket, Thanks for the kudos. I love the Alesis Firewire mixer; very versatile. Can work with or without a computer. The firewire version allows true simultaneous multitrack recording. The older USB version did not (not sure about their new USB versions). Computer was a P4 2GHz w/1.5GB RAM running XP. They will NOT WORK with Windows Vista 64 bit version (XP is fine). Can't go wrong with this mixer!

[OriginalMe1o9]

wow i like it without the vocals!!!

[leokasper7107]

There's no lyrics bc people like me like to sing it along with the music :)

[poiopupful]

never mind ur right

[poiopupful]

i think accoustic means instrumental (no singing)

[TheHondaf22b]

I'm pretty sure acoustic doesn't mean electric guitar or bass guitar

[aspenn21]

[crazycody170]

AWESOME COVER! The YAMAHA RBX 260 is one of the best!
