Got around to doing a few clips for the first time this year. Mid 50s now and playing better than ever with more to go I still believe.

This one is an old Bonjovi tune: 'Dead Or Live", no backing no mic, just me and my guitar. Its low filmed in my bedroom.

The last until next time, this one an Elvis tune "Stuck On You". I've lost 4 teeth at the back since the covid and let them fall out naturally over months, some at the front are sunken out of view, before long maybe I'll afford false ones.

A bit of the old Gun's Roses classic 'Sweet Child of Mine', one of many sound tracks from my heady teens. These days its in a lower octave and more restrained on my acoustic.

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

This one's a bit of myself playing Cat Steven's "Moon Shadow", great riff as the intro echoing the lyric and the melody. Do they still do this kind of thing?

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

This one's a bit of the Travelling Wilbury's classic "Anything You Want" used on an ad lately in the UK.

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

I'll get around to memorizing the rest of it soon too.

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

This is a bit of "Wild Side of Life" by Status Quo. I first heard this on a limited edition box set early 1980s & liked it on first hearing. Someone once said in Corrie when it was a bit lighter than now judging by the ads: "You can't beat a bit of quo" He might've been right!

This is me doing a bit of the old Irish folk tune, popularised by Thin Lizzy "Whiskey In The Jar" last Friday unplugged in my bedroom. All impromptu and wasn't sure what I was going to do from one tune to the next.

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

This one's me doing a bit of Ralph McTell's "Streets of London". Timeless!

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

This is me doing a bit of "Freebird" unplugged acoustically in my bedroom. (7/8/26)

I've loads of memorised stuff acoustically and classical repertoire too over many years and many genres!

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

Did a few clips last night. First batch since last October, its the way people make me feel, still job hunting and looking to move soon.

Anyway all unplugged and spontaneous. This is a bit of "Amazing Grace"

Grab yourself a bargain. There is no finer tuition aid to learning the guitar than this UK publication.

This is some of a lovely piece in D Minor by the not very well know Baroque composer Sylvius Weiss. Well on the way to being fully memorised too for live shows.

Excuse me for it being slightly quiet and any hum is coming from the video editing sound being pushed to the max.

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

This is a bit of a lovely piece in D minor by Scarlatti. Baroque is perhaps my favourite era of classical music, a lot of good stuff was composed to my ears and not just your man Bach himself. Unfortunately its quiet.

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

These are the arpeggiated chords of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major before it gets into the nitty and gritty. This is timeless and has been used in all sorts of things, even Stock Aitken and Waterman for those of us were young in the golden age of happiness. Sorry its quiet.

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

This is a bit of 'Nimrod'. I made a lot of backing tracks during the covid lockdown and may have another go at doing a couple of this lot again playing along to them some time. I've not had time to do any since or peace of mind. Oh its quiet, I know.

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

This is the start of a lovely solo instrumental arrangement of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" filmed in my bedroom 25/10/10. I'm afraid its a bit quiet.

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

Myself playing Bach's C Prelude completely memorised.
Apologies for the low level. I put a new bridge on this cheap classical recently and didn't realise how bad it actually was at the dusty end, came broke I think.

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

Did a few clips of myself playing classical guitar in drop D last night. Some of many I've been memorising.

Sorry they are a bit quiet. I may try again before long.
This is a bit of Einaudi's L'Onde.

[Alan Blueheart @AlanBlueheart]

Here's me doing "Tequila Sunrise" by the legendary Eagles. One of the best bands of all time in my opinion.

The last for now from this batch may get around to doing some memorised classical guitar in drop d before long to show a completely different side of my playing.
