Southern Girl and more

I know, it’s a very long time ago that I announced to post a video of my Southern Girl cover here and I promised to not forget it. I indeed trained playing it regularly in the last months, but the reason I did not post a video was that it’s just damn hard to play. In addition, I found just playing it on guitar too boring, so I also started singing along. What you see here is the result of about two hours of trying to get a decent recording, which I did not even try for several months. So I hope you enjoy it (despite small mistakes here and there ;-) ).

And to keep you on top, here is my next announcement :-)

Last week, I bought a bass in the music shop around the corner (in Minhang), the same place I also bought my guitar.

It is a very nice instrument and the first song I learn to play is one that I wanted to play on bass for a very long time: It is the song “Kinky Reggae” by Bob Marley and The Wailers (I play the Jamaica version from the album Catch A Fire). To introduce this great song to you, I link it here from YouTube (although it’s the UK version of the song, which is quite similar):

This is going to be a play-along to the original song, because playing bass alone is not very intersting ;-)

Other than playing bass, I am mainly preparing for exams and reports these days (or should I mention it the other way around?! :-P ), so there is not much to write about. But I guess there will be some things soon, because the Europe Cup is running and Germany is in straight direction to winning it ;-) This will also be the time to do some reporting about “tha guys from ba hao lou (building no. 8)” :-)

So stay tuned!
