The video quality turned out astoundingly bad due to the low-resolution and cheap CCD in my generic camera. I have not made any further videos, pending some hardware purchases to correct the issue.
I do hope to try to do a few more in black and white to see if that will improve the frame-rate for capturing, but ultimately I need a new camera.

In the collection of test videos there are two covers:

The other three videos are original songs I’ve written:

In 2008 I changed the key, and in this version I was playing around making it a heavier song instead of acoustic.

Below is a video he created made from editing tapes of himself hitting various pieces of percussion and some simple notes and chords on a piano.

What he does is cuts them together into a song without actually needing to know how to play either instrument. Sadly, the audio concept this utilizes this is how idiots like Paris Hilton can release a steaming pile of crap and call it music while lacking any talent (or purpose for that matter) entirely.

A final nice touch is the reversal of outfits one might be seen wearing while playing the instruments shown.
