For the most part, the following songs are ones that I used to perform live. I thought I might as well spread the love and teach them to you :)
They are in the keys that I sing them in, which will be perfect for some and not others. It's crucial that you play songs in the correct key for whoever is singing them ~ which is obvious to some folks. However, I've met many young performers and players who don't realise this - hence I feel the need to point it out.
I generally prefer to perform my own versions of covers....'original covers', if you like. Some of these versions are therefore quite different from the original. It's a matter of taste and style. I've found that I'm quite a frenetic player/singer, so my versions are often rockier and faster!
I encourage you to try and make any covers your own, as in the process I think you will discover your style. At the end of the day I firmly believe that you are best at being you, rather than copying anyone else.
I hope you enjoy my versions and I welcome feedback and comments. Sometimes a comment that someone leaves online makes my day, so don't be shy about letting me know what you think. There are comment sections at the end of each tutorial.
Above all else: Enjoy!
