Since I have turned into a music enthused freak who does nothing but practice songs sung by men and go over iTunes piano lessons again and again, I figured that I would post my progress. It is my hope to come up with some great covers to add to a set (hopefully in addition to a couple of my own songs) and get in the acoustic night scene around Chicago. It's quite the feat I've heard but everyone has to start somewhere, right? You can watch them Here and Here.
From age 13 to about 20, give or take, I would listen to Neil young through the floor boards of my living room on saturday mornings as my brother cleaned his room. Rarely I would get the occasional Metallica remedies instead, but when Neil Young was on, I knew my brother was in some mood, and he felt like the soulful sounds of an acoustic genius.
I have an ear for Acoustic music especially because I play the Guitar. Lately I have made it a goal to learn one new song per week. I have kept that goal for the most part. But now the only problem is that I haven't been writing down what songs I have learned, so I pretty much just listen to my ipod, or the radio, and If I have learned the song I'm like, "Oh yeah! I can play this!". This is not the best method for song memory, so I hope that by blogging about my music finds and loves that I won't forget about them!
I got into my most recent Neil Young kick after I watched the few hilarious parodies from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Oh my heck does he pull of a good Neil Young!
Pretty much ever since this:
Also this Gem:
Nobody can quite top that I don't think. Nobody.
I have made it a goal to learn as many Neil Young songs as I can. I realize that I listen to a lot of folk music, and I need to get some stories down from my childhood and write a Neil Young Parody about it.
Anyway, this is my current favorite song of Neil Young, which I poorly play Here:
