Yesterday, I wrote and recorded this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQaYDs4jGZE

It was kind of an impromptu recording session, but I had wanted to experiment with this kind of video for a while. I basically recorded myself playing six parts, used them as thumbnails, and alternate between them in the main window.

As for the music, this is more or less the style I usually play, though not a lot of thought was put into writing this one.....I'd record a part, pick up another instrument and play whatever seemed to go with it. I've been trying lately to get more and more layering involved in my songs, with each piece doing a minimal amount of work so it comes together more smoothly.

Thanks for any feedback you can provide. I'd like to do more videos in this style.

Very cool video. The mix sounded fine, and the video kept it very interesting.
 
Thank you! I was aware that the song itself didn't offer a whole lot past the first verse, so I was kind of relying on the video to help it a bit. Usually, I take a bit more care into developing songs, but sometimes it's fun to just be spontaneous and get it done quickly.
 
Cool video. I'm not thrilled with that intro bass lick. You need drums!
 
The bass didn't come out as sharp as I had hoped. I do have some drums towards the middle, but I don't have any to play, so I use some old-ish software to create all my beats. I wanted to keep them minimal for this one. But thanks for the feedback!
