Lyrics : You want to play, with your new guitar, don’t know where to start
All your life, the melodies you heard have much difficulty

Totally Guitar, is all you need to become quite a star

Same old song, aren't you sick at all for you to play them wrong
All you need, drop the old habits, work on that new sound

Totally Guitar, is all you need to become quite a star

Interlude

Don't stand down; Neil is the man who will teach you all the way
Now you're in, your best decision which will take you away

Totally Guitar, is all you need to become quite a star
Totally Guitar
Everybody is Totally Guitar

Good job Marc. I liked the line about "Aren't you sick of playing songs wrong?" very good.

Good luck

Thanks Buddy, Tovo, Izzy and Chas. I am surpirsed that this already posted as I uploaded it 3 hours ago. Mike, you are a good man.

I have so much respect for all the pros that can move on the stage, play complicated partitions and sing. I would be thinking first at Geddy Lee from Rush or John Anderson from Jethro Tull. I have been working on Dust in the wind for a while and thought I could do something with it. When I do not open my mouth, I can play the song reasonably well hitting those bass strings loud and clear. But singing at the same time as playing, as many of people that have posted, have said, is another ball game. I am not trying to depreciate the video but want to underline the challenge that I experienced.

I am glad to participate.

Marc

Great job, Marc. I always enjoy hearing your fingerpicking, though I admit it does make me very envious! Nice lyrics, too. I'm glad to see you join the contest.

Merci Suzi, I was not sure about participating because I had to sing ( I am realisting about the potential here :laugh: ). A lot of people have stretched their neck with the singing, so I decided to be supportive to all the fantastic work being done on the website. I appreciate that it does not go through Youtube, thanks TG.
