Hope you enjoy!

Hey looks it’s another video of me performing! This time with my BROTHER! Woo! We decided to play together last night and do some cover songs... because that’s all we can play together atm haha.

Anyway I hope you like our rendition of David Bowie’s The Man Who Sold The World.

Hey here's another song! This one's about my ex girlfriend. I wrote this last year though, super all over it, and we're still good friends! I just like this song.

Tumblr is being weird and not letting me upload this properly, but here is some random guitar playing I did. https://soundcloud.com/the-tortoise-echange/32417-guitar-jam-w-drumtrack

Hey I haven't posted a music in a while, huh? Well here's one right in your face! Another cover of one of my favorite bands. I make a few small flubs, but overall I like how it turned out and I hope you do too!

More Ukulele practice! I practiced this on guitar too but I thought it might sound nicer on Ukulele.

Listen to We wish you a merry Christmas by The Tortoise Exchange #np on #SoundCloud Merry Christmas! My grandma sent me a songbook of Christmas songs, so here is one!

Well this was bound to happen eventually, right? This is a ukulele cover of a song from Silent Hill 3, my favorite game in my favorite game series. I hope you like it! (Because this is like my fiftieth attempt at this song and my voice finally did the job well enough)

I don’t remember if I mentioned it here or only on Twitter, but HERE’S A UKULELE COVER OF ALL STAR BY SMASH MOUTH because I don’t know.

I bought a ukulele today because they are CUTE and FUN. Here’s some practice. Still not great on the chord changes but my fingos hurt so I’m done for now.

Woahoahoah a cover song that isn’t The Mountain Goats!!

(Although to be fair, it’s probably inspired a little bit by their cover of this song oops)

I recorded a song before my e string broke earlier, so here it is! Cry For Judas originally by The Mountain Goats. I recorded another song originally by The Vaccines, but listening to it again, I goofed it up more than I thought, so I’m gonna try to record it again some other time.

Okay here’s the song I’ve been attempting for the past hour. Another Mountain Goats song woop woop. You can tell I’ve been at it for a while because of how strained my voice is at times.

My family recently got some extra money from a settlement thing and so as a late/early birthday present, my mom helped my brother and I get new guitars and here is mine! I'm god damn in love with it. It was the first one I saw going into the store and I just couldn't get over how beautiful it was while looking at other guitars. I also bought my brothers amp from him to help him pay for a proper bass amp. My old one was the shittiest amp, and this new one sounds amazing, so future recordings should sound a lot better. I'm hoping to invest in a better mic soon too.
