Empty

This is me playing Ray LaMontagne's "Empty". I love this song, especially the BBC Live version. It means alot to me, actually.

Well, I just play it for fun and have for awhile now but thought I should put it on Youtube because I think other people might enjoy the bass line I added to it. Sorry for the singing, haha. You know, it's actually kind of difficult for me to sing, play the bass line cleanly and with power, while also maintaining a steady and quiet strum which is itself nonstandard.

I was kind of disappointed with this recording because, in person, the bass notes are much more powerful and have more meaning. They ring like a tower bell and seem to be much more deep and powerful in person. The recording is ok but it seems to lose alot.

Oh well, have fun y'all.

nice job, that's some really good - hold on... is that a toaster oven acting as a space heater in the background..?

@tomjbw YES! I didn't have heating at that time... but I did have a toaster oven and a hairdryer. I also found out that they don't really use space heaters here in China, they use some kind of radiant light heating that's pretty useless.
