▶️ Watch on 3Speak


Its been a year since i picked up the guitar but i hope to get back to it soon.

This is my own song under the name I+Everything.

It sounds a lot more full on the big guitar but i got the mini guitar today.
The mini guitar is tuned high too so i struggled but I basicaly hit it!

hopinng to get a better mic soon 😌

the lyrics are simple and short:

Shadows get caught behind our eyes
we always seem to forget
that life is a mirror reflecting all of us

Here are two other versions of this song:
Mirror (live with friends)
Mirror (demo)

Oh man, good song! I'm glad to get to know you in this way. I'd love to hear more of your tunes as your musical talents are immense. Thanks for being here and sharing your original music. Peace.

Thanks for joining in and enjoying Hive Open Mic

Thanks man, I'll try to pop in sometimes! :-) Really glad to see how big this has become

This is really nice apart from the part that my network isn't allowing me to listen to the flow. But I must admit that it's really cool.

The lyrics got me thinking though 🤔 "Life is a mirror reflecting on us" no doubt about that.

You should do more of this sir 😃 your voice is great!

By the way, is that your new place? 🙄 Looking nice 😊

Hahahaha no that's my old place. I snuck back in to record because I want to wait a few weeks before pissing my neighbors off with guitar at 10 pm.

Thanks for listening!
There is a live version with friends here: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/GjXKLR3nLQBaccLK7

Very impressed with the song. You called that a mini-guitar, is that what it really is? At first I thought it was a ukelele, but definitely sounds like a standard guitar range.
Oh and by the way the microphone you used did a great job of picking up the guitar and vocals in my opinion.
I also play guitar, but I have never been able to sing and play at the same time.
What are the requirements of doing a Hive Open Mic? I produce a lot of music now via software, and I was thinking of maybe trying that.

:-D Thank you so much

It's a guitar but in A key standard tuning because the strings sound best in A at this length.

Would love to hear your stuff. Singing and playing at the same time is hard. I can only manage cause my songs are rather simple.

The open mic has a theme that @cabelindsay announces every week. You just gotta follow the very few rules he lays out.

Oh it's your old place, thoughtful reason for not using your new place... It's cool.

I'll check that out

Very nice melody, riffs, love like the style you use for the vocals.

This is the version with friends 😝 I think you'll like it

Nice piece..
Thats almost a pocket guitar.
Lol.

Great greater play too.
Even tho its been a while like you said.

My guitar fell in love with a stray ukelele and out popped this guitarlele!

Here is a live version from my glory days lol

Oh..🤣🤣🤣

I was gonna ask if it was an ukulele but I see it has 6 strings.😂😂

Oh great thing..I ll look it up

Thanks for stirring up the glory again

@selfhelpfortrolls I'm really happy seeing you here😁😁.

Your original is super cool!!

Thanks man!
Here is the version from a performance with friends https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/GjXKLR3nLQBaccLK7

Aiit...I'll check it out

Uuhh...the strumming is sick!!

I see what you meant when you said you lost touch...

The strumming could be a song on its own.

And the boxing beats🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

I could totally picture myself listening to this while I travel...

I actually made most of my songs to be able to jam with people who never heard them before. And I wrote most of them while traveling while busking 😝

Ohh...thank makes sense...

I haven't been home in months.

I'll jam up to this on the road.

Are you traveling now!?

No...not now maybe by December...maybe...

My work might not give a leave if new interns are not employed.

My first time of me seeing you play the guitar. You tried in the guitar boss.

I hope to see more of you playing the guitar now

This is creative of you.

Hi @selfhelp4trolls

I am seeing your performance for the first time, so I will officially wish you a warm welcome to the hive open mic sub-community. :) You presented yourself with an excellent original song, something that we really appreciate, bringing original songs!
😇

Thank you! I'm gonna try to jam on future open mics cause not all my existing songs match the themes

I just put up a demo recording in the post if you are interesting 😃

Nice, looking forward to seeing your entries when you can match a song with the topic :)

Btw, sometimes we just can not match 100% , but anyway, if you feel the call, join :)

Very soothing to the ear.

I love it!

I didn't know you could sing this good. You're a very talented person.

I recorded it on my phone to listen to later again.

Everything is going to be alright 💛

Here is a jam. The sound quality of the microphone is terrible but that was my favorite performance of this song.
😌 your comment made my day

I'll have to follow that link right away!

Yeah, I loved it too my friend.

😌 your comment made my day

You recommending me as one of your newbie favorite authors also made my day! 💛💛

Good to have you play the guitar again. It has really been a while. The last was on discord on a particular Thursday in that server you opened for friends. Do you remember?

yeah of course. I think that might be the last time I played guitar for more than a minute or two! Now that we moved I think it will be easier to play. My guitar is standing in a stand instead of hidden in my closer :-D, and I have a chair to sit in here, unlike my old place that had no space for chairs

Your face as you were getting those high notes XD

You'd be awesome to watch live XP

It really depends on my mood, I'm trying to get to that place where I'm just having fun and not thinking about the result too much. I got scared away from there last time I toured and I had one show where I forgot how to play guitar cause I was having too much fun. I've had exactly two traumatizing performances hahaha
