It's my life - Bon Jovi - Guitar Cover

Hello everyone, this is Solid Snake and I'm back with something completely different. It's been a long time now, since I've started this blog and I still haven't shown you some video of me strumming.. have I? I think it's time to correct that..


After setting up my youtube channel which goes by the name of SnakedTube I added my first youtube video.. It's me covering the song "It's my life" by Bon Jovi, on my guitar. Well it was the first time I tried playing the song, and after figuring out what some proper chords would be, I started playing and recording it. It took me about 5-6 full recordings of the song to get the first complete one that somehow satisfied me and I decided to keep and publish it on my youtube channel. It went not excellent but well.

I most likely didn't use the exact chords that Bon Jovi do, but it sounds pretty nice like that. Think of it as my personal touch on the song. I hope you like it.

As for the equipment I've used, just like is included in the video description, it's my Gibson Les Paul Studio Worn Brown, on my Line 6 Spider IV 75W and it's captured on a Kodak Zi8 1080p @ 30 Fps. I hope you like it.



Feel free to comment but please keep it clean..
This is Solid Snake as the Lonesome Guitarist and I look forward to seeing you again!

Love And Madness

Hey there everyone.. it's been some time now since my last post.. but here I am, ready to post a new song of mine! Days are passing bye, time stands still sometimes giving me all the inspiration I need to write something..

So, while writing this song.. I had in mind the song "Bleed it out" by Linkin Park, I wanted to write something that sounds like it. One day I came up with the music, and another one when I was feeling inspired (and a bit angry yeah..), I added the lyrics. And really loved the result! I hope you'll like it too.

It's called "Love and Madness", two words that their meaning seems so identical that sometimes and it's hard to separate the one from the other. It's as if they become one in my head and so I decided to express it in this song. Maybe I'll record it and upload it somewhere, someday for you to actually listen to it. Here we go...

Love and Madness

(Solo)
Verse 1:
Now's the time, here we go
trying to sort the things we know
Love and madness are hard to go,
Can't control them once they grow

Even though you know the rules
The more you push the more it pulls
Plus the fact, you can't react
Once you fall there's no way back

Lose yourself, scream out loud
Kiss the pain and live in doubt
Race the time, cross the line
Love is just a legal crime

That's the truth, right or not
What you gave's not what you got
Face it now, write it down
Hide it deeply underground

Chorus 1:
Be like me, hold your breath
Try to win, give all your best
Put yourself, to the test
Then hit the ground just like the rest x2

Put yourself, to the test
Then hit the ground just like the rest x3

Verse 2:
Just you wait, I still have time
Time to waste, or write a rhyme
Make it worth, make it count
Throw them down, until I'm out

Once again, you make me feel
What I felt was never real
What I want now isn't clear
Wish I could just disappear

All my thoughts now, they do harm
Can't give up, I must fight back
Find my strength, bring it on
Push my limits even more

Sum it up, now we know
Love is madness, don't say no
Both they kill, burn you down
Make you look just like a clown

Chorus 2:
Prove me wrong, Push me back
Live your life, forget this track,
Put yourself, to the fight
Then hit the floor and fall behind x2

Put yourself to the fight
Then hit the floor and fall behind x3

(Solo)
Bridge End:
Yes, I know, I might be wrong, I know
Not cool at all, I know, I've gotta go, oh no.. Oh no..
You and me, we used to get along,
But now you ruined it all, there's no more space for hope

So go and live your life, just like you wish, don't fight
Just let them lead your way, you're the only one to blame
And I will walk my road, just like a star long gone
And I will fight again, my life will now begin!

(End)

That's it people! I did not add the chords for.. security purposes.. :-)
