Sai Sword Wrapping Tutorial

Sorry for the jittery video. I had to compress it to meet YouTube's size limit.

New Guitar + Insomnia = Bouree' in e Minor

Commentary within video. Boy was I sleepy. I just couldn't fall asleep.

Tetchy...Aren't I?

Hillary...I've Found My Voice!

Here I am trying to sing. With better gear, my voice and guitar could sound warmer.

Boys and Their Toys

Here I am messing around with my new webcam. It's a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000. After working out all the bugs and figuring out how it works, I think it's a pretty decent piece of tech; not as smooth as an Apple set up...perhaps I'll upgrade to that in a couple of years.

AOL Snags My Video!

I don't know if I should feel honored or annoyed. America Online has reposted my "Triple String Nunchaku" tutorial on their portal without informing me. I guess it's OK since I left the embedding option open on my YouTube account.

As long as the lesson gets out there and safe nunchaku practice is promoted, I've no argument. But as for intellectual property, I want to make it clear to everyone that the video is mine. AOL did the right thing and maintained all the YouTube associated information (my Channel name, my website url, and clip description).

Anyone else that would like to embed my video may do so, so long as credit is given and the video is not altered in any way.

Shout Out to Ben

Ben from Ohio was the very first person to respond to my nunchaku picture post. When I posted the "Triple String" tutorial, I sent him the YouTube link and in this next video, I thank him for his interest and answer some follow-up questions.

New Logo Design

I figured since I spent hard earned money on Adobe Photoshop, I ought to figure out how to use it. Here's a logo I'll use to intro my video posts on YouTube.

You're looking at the utaguchi or the mouthpiece end of a shakuhachi flute. My YouTube posts will have a few notes played underneath.

Cup O' Joe

Here's my first musical post. I'm breaking in this new Big Baby Taylor Guitar. It's got great projection and a bright tone. Now and then, I flub or buzz a note or two. But as "we" grow together, the more fluid we'll become. Enjoy.


Notes: 1) Yeah, I should have shaved. 2) No, that's not a double-chin. I've got a 21-inch neck...all muscle! 3) I'm wearing gym shorts. 4) At the end, I'm imagining Starbucks goes out of business. 5) Those are nunchaku hanging on the wall.
