Some real guitar demos of mine, and not a keyboard in sight!
Guitar stuff by lewisaquilina
These are few demos recorded & uploaded straight from my MP3 player to hopefully represent what I'm about and show you what I'm capable of. Even though 'Wings to Fly' is sort of where I'm currently at now, what with my situation and all (or what was), I stick to no one-particular style/theme/genre. I make my heavy & psychedelic stuff within reason too as I've this burning desire to express my "darker" mind. My main songwriting/music focuses for now are heavy and dark/moody melancholic stuff & acoustic/sombre material. "Good times" must wait!
The majority of my recordings are mostly guitar-only, I'm afraid; not a great deal in the way of vocals yet but, when it comes to my actual songwriting, you won't get any fake emotion from me! I'm as "genuine" as can be and sing/speak my mind, similar to one of my hero's, Billy Corgan, from the once-great Smashing Pumpkins. He is/was a very strong willed singer/songwriter, as too am I and shall always be. Oh and believe me when I say that I've much to be angry for... yeah, this is looong overdue. Some things must be said; not least to save my soul, or the remains of...
So right now I have accumulated several-hundred guitar recordings on my MP3 player. I know what I must do is focus more on my lyrics & singing style so I can give my guitar playing a proper purpose. After all, what's a song without words and a voice? Trouble is though, I'm sort of in "song ideas overload" to be honest! The thing with me is I end up writing/recording so much that I don't even know where to begin when it comes to working on previous ideas and I struggle to remember how I actually played them... just can't help but come up with new stuff all the time...! So now I've this rather overwhelming mountain-sized backlog of ideas and kinda have a lot of catching up to do on myself... yeah. *defeated by self*
The good news is though I guess, now that my father's moved out the bedroom him and I once shared, I at least have the freedom to play/record my guitars any time I want! HELL YEAH.
The guitars I play are my Yamaha Pacifica 412v thru Vox AD50VT amp, and my latest Vintage Sweetwater electro-acoustic. All is recorded with my Cowon S9 music player, for now.
P.S. Follow me on Twitter to be notified when I put new guitar stuff up. Also check out my recent and well accomplished September 2010 Demos Compilation featuring both of my guitars.
