How to Save a Life - Final (Nebula background)

OK, apparently, Im not allowed to do a file that is pure sound, so I had to re-record it as it played on my computer screen. Anyways, dont mind the visuals

So this is the final version of my song. Look, I KNOW there is very minimal left-hand. But you have to admit, I don't suck THAT much, do I?

All comments are directed at the (currently unfinished) tutorial video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idTV3ETzdhE

Um, I was playing this someone else's house, and I didn't feel like telling them to keep quiet for recording, so at 2:03 and 2:23, the name "Brian" is clearly heard (I am NOT Brian), and also some background noise. If that is an issue for you and you want me to redo it, let me know.

First and foremost, this video is dedicated to Annie Le and Amanda Caravantes, two bright young women murdered on September 8 and September 15, respectively. May the terrorist bomb victims of Afghanistan rest in peace with the hope violence will cease. Also to a lesser extent, I want to remember Bruce Isaacson. I hope that his death will encourage others that if your car stalls on railroad tracks, make a run for it if a train comes.
I also plead all of you to ride more bicycles and to take up jogging as much as you can. It will make me very happy.

And while we are on this topic, take shorter showers and use less power. If you are brave enough, take a colder shower for your health. If a motorized vehicle is absolutely necessary, the best thing to do is take public transit. If it does not bother you, pick up litter, and do your best to avoid killing insects and arachnids (or any other animal for that matter). And for those teens, avoid drugs and pregnancy if it means your lifebecause it sort of does. Be friendly and abstain cussing and rudeness, especially racial slurs. This includes gay. Doing these things will result for your best. And if you wont do it for yourself, do it for everyone in your community and your country. Bear neither grudges nor depression; enjoy life. Peace prevails. Hatred is horrendous. Violence is never a virtue.

If youll excuse me, I will go take a powershower right after my powernap.

:D sweet!

btw, if you do want to do a file that is pure sound, then you can just put the sound file into Windows Movie Maker (the bit that says Audio/Music) and WMM will just have a black screen for the video. Then you don't have to run the sound through a camera! ;P  or you could do a screen capture with free programs such as Snagit.

This is really really old; I've gotten much better. I haven't had time to learn other songs though.

I don't know any of that technical stuff o_o

I thought about doing it about just making the video first, then timing everything and try to lay the sound on it.

@elouwen

No, mine's good enough.

I wouldn't know. I don't travel much.

And the only songs I've learned in those years are this one, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," and "My Heart Will Go On" (well, refined rather than newly learned). I don't even have time to learn "Beat It," much less any other thing on my wishlist. I haven't added NEW songs to that list in ages, and naturally, my "tutorial" videos, nay, all of them, are low-quality.

But I have to attain the best that can possibly be achieved. There's no other deviation.

I mean, at first when I came here about two years ago I've been thinking about doing tutorial videos but I'm really no good at all. I'm just doing a worse version on Synthestia.

Oh, I got much better than this, but very far from perfect.

I'm always busy.

@myloveiswasted

Who the heck is Amanda Caravantes?

[myloveiswasted]

Was Amanda Caravantes Spanish??

[PhilosophicalPsycho]

What...Brian?

Peace? Well...yes, thank you.

My music sorta sucks, however. Despite playing this song "perfectly," the quality itself is not good (due to background interference and that I recorded it twice).

In terms of music, my main flaw is that my brain can't function to play the main music with my right hand and background with my left, making it sound dull overall. I taught everything myself; I mentally know HOW to play the background, but doing them together messes my coordination.
