I am a musician and IT professional and have decided to combine my skills on this channel and make some videos of my playing and eventually to demonstrate my IT skills.
I am not an audio/visual engineer and so only my playing videos are my own recordings (sorry for any lighting or focus glitches in advance) and they are sandwiched between an introduction of the technical details of the music and audio/video/hardware used, and the production engineers details at the end.
A huge thanks goes to the guys over at SBC Digital Ltd for the channel branding and the post video production, you can find their site in the links section below.
There may be some other content posted here from time-to-time that demonstrates either audio/visual technology/techniques, programming or software engineering, particularly if its in connection with music or video production or processing/delivery of media services.
Please like and subscribe on all my videos on the channel 😊 👍

Tears On My Pillow - Kylie Minogue - Guitar Cover
Tears On My Pillow was a 1958 song first recorded by Little Anthony and the Imperials, where it hit the no4 slot in US and no3 in Canada of that year.
There have been many other cover versions in the ensuing 60+ years, which gained most of the artists some success.
My version today is from Kylie Minogue's 1990 cover, which reached the no1 spot in the UK in January. It is still a much acclaimed cover today by the music industry and her peers.
I hope you enjoy my attempt at this one today and, if you do, then please like, comment, subscribe and share.
As usual, here is the link to the backing track I used for this recording...

Originally released as an 'orchestral' number in 1951 by Tommy Edwards, where it rose to number 18 on the US charts. In 1958, to enter the rock n roll era, the song was re-arranged into a faster and more rock style and re-released, this time it topped the billboard chart and earned him a gold disc.

Lets Twist Again - Chubby Checker - Tyros 2 (4K)

Something to tap your feet to today, or rather, something to 'Twist' to. A big hit from 1961/62 for Chubby Checker, where it reached No.2 in the UK in the spring of 1962. The original song has speech included, and that's difficult to include on the Tyros 2 without the use of a MIDI file or new registration altogether. So I hope my rendition of this one without said spoken parts is still enjoyab...

I am now learning the guitar and have been practising for the last 5 months or so and this is my first attempt at picking the melody along to a backing track. As a musician, I play by ear and so I have not used tabs or anything, and the backing track for this tune also has no scrolling lyrics, so I just play from memory and a certain understanding of the notes to pick and play. So please forgiv...

Ja das waren für mich schwere ❤Zeiten und jetzt bin ich älter geworden und bin immer noch habe ich mich nicht mehr in meine Heimat meine neue Heimat eingelebt ❤❤❤❤
👌🏽👌🏽
Thank you! Delighted you liked my tune today. Have a nice day 🙂
Die Zeiten möchte ich nicht mehr Erleben das waren schwere Zeiten und heute sind noch nicht alles vergessen ❤❤❤
Ich war noch ein Kind da hat ich meine Eltern verloren und bin überall❤rumgestubst worden das vergesse mein ganzes Leben nicht ❤❤❤😂
Mein Weg war früher sehr leicht wo ich überall war da war keiner diese möchte ich nicht mehr Erleben ❤❤❤.
Mach es einfach „auf deine Art“, das habe ich hier auf diesem Kanal getan! Dann können Sie den ganzen Tag Spaß haben und müssen sich nur um Sie selbst Sorgen machen. Ich hoffe jedoch, dass Ihnen die Melodie und das Video auch gefallen haben. Einen schönen Tag noch. 🙂
Sehr gut gespielt, toller Sound übrigens. Mach weiter so, das wird gut :-)
Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Worte! Ich freue mich, dass Ihnen meine Spielweise und der Klang des Instruments gefallen haben. Einen schönen Tag noch 🙂
Beautiful playing 👌❤️, subscribed your channel 😀
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to leave a message and it's great to have you as a new subscriber too. Thanks also for saying that my playing was beautiful, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have a nice day 🙂
Hmm, not bad...
Thank you, I do my best to make enjoyable videos and tunes to make people happy.🙂
great evergreen !! well done TMT !!
Hello again, thanks for commenting today, as always I appreciate it. You were one of my very first subscribers, 8th person to subscribe you were I believe, but since the other 7 were family and friends, that actually makes you my first 'real' subscriber. I was a bit dubious about recording this one last week as so many other players and musicians have done it long ago, well before this version of mine. However, since I play and record live and only use the facilities of the Tyros e.g. the built in registrations and styles and don't use backing tracks or MIDI files. I decided to record this as 'my version' that I would have to play it like, if I were doing a live gig in the pub/club.
@@themusicaltechnician I have that too, a well-known number already recorded by many I also did not dare to send in. Now I think it has already been played by many but not by me 🙂 And my philosophy is also the same as yours I only use the possibilities of the keyboard (styles and sounds) all my recordings are played and recorded live I record the sound with the keyboard itself, for the image I still use the iPhone 6 (13 is too heavy ) and then I synchronize image and sound, which can sometimes be seen in my videos many musical greetings from Belgium
Well played sir ❤
Thank you for your comment and for listening to my tune. 🙂
great performance !!!
Thank you! Nice to see you here again too 🙂
Well done My Friend, sounds spot on, Great beat for this song ,🪗🪗🪗Mick.

Hi Peter, Thank you for your very kind words. Glad you liked my playing too! What makes it even better is to receive a comment from a fellow musician, who’s also a composer as well. Have a nice day 🙂

Thank you so much, glad you loved it 😍
shame about the wrong intro nothing else to comment on very nice, well played 👌👍👏
Nice to have you back again 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the song even without the intro/lead in! Since I play by ear, I don't generally have the music or lyrics in front of me. Since I am also a cheapskate and don't want to pay for the proper sheet music.... I am sometimes left with the choice of doing my own version of the intro or as in this case, using one of the built-in intro's on Tyros.
Really nice!! Sounds so beautiful and well played.

Nicely played 😊
Thank you very much for your kind comment! Have a lovely day. ☺
Wonderful! I’ve always liked this song & enjoyed the variety of sounds. A couple of years ago we replaced my old and well-loved player piano with a Roland digital mini-grand and one of the best things about it is trying out different instrument sounds… that, plus the fact that I can wear headphones to practice and nobody hears my mistakes!
Thank you for your comments. This was a complex one to keep changing the sound and instruments on, but I had fun doing it. Before I got Tyros I owned a Roland digital upright piano. Lovely keys and movement on it. Full size piano keys improve your performance, the Tyros doesn't have full sized keys, I believe they're 2/3rd size. As you say about the headphones - that Roland Piano was the first one that I owned where I could plug a cassette/CD player into and play along with headphones on, prior to that all the other keyboards I owned I could only play during daytime hours or my neighbours would have had a fit! 🤣 I can do my recordings for the channel at anytime of day as it's a completely closed circuit and I wear headphones to monitor what is being recorded. I can do the same for the guitar recordings too, but I forgot that the semi-acoustic one, unlike the electric one, still makes a (very loud sometimes) noise whether it's plugged in to the pedal and the iRig stream or not. So for the acoustic recordings I am forced to record during the day.
Such a fun version… makes me want to get up and do the twist! 😅
Thanks as usual for taking the time to comment. Glad it was a fun tune for you too. At my age if I did the twist that’s also what I’d be left with, some twisted muscles and difficulty getting about for a while 😂
@@themusicaltechnician Haha! I know the feeling!
That was very nicely played - and I’m guessing you recorded the piano part also? Keep up the good work on the guitar! I’ve gotten behind and missed your last several songs but am caught up now! 😊
Thank you for your comments - it’s nice to see you here again 😉 I am planning more guitar tunes - most of them I practise for a couple of weeks then record them - so by the time they make it to the channel I have only learned to play them like a few weeks before. It probably shows too, but they will get better I’m sure😛 Yes you are correct I did also play the back track for this one too on the tyros, I put the link to that in the description, but here it is again if you want to hear/view that too. th-cam.com/video/FnUuH338gJU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=14glRosuT4NfiOFh
First time I’ve heard a non vocal version, reminds me of the organ played at the cinema although this has more limited scope

Hello, it's nice to see you here again! Welcome back. I'm delighted that you liked the performance and that you enjoyed the tune too. 🙂
´La calidad del sonido y la ejecución son finos e impecables, pero la melodía base del original está alterada con otras notas que no corresponden a TFASP.
Hola, gracias por mirar, espero que hayas disfrutado la canción. El problema es que solo hay un teclado, 2 manos y 10 dedos y no uso archivos MIDI ni pistas de acompañamiento para mis canciones. Los toco todos yo mismo y los grabo 'en vivo'. Por lo tanto, no puedo replicar cada parte de cada canción sin hacer grabaciones 'dobladas' dobles o triples para agregar las partes 'faltantes'. Podría llevar mi teclado a tu casa y tocar esta melodía exactamente como está ahora, sin ningún "extra" u otros archivos o dispositivos. Espero que esta explicación ayude y que mi canción siga siendo "reconocible" y agradable. 😉
@@themusicaltechnician gracias por esta gentil aclaración suya. La melodía como quiera tiene mucha de la magia del original, y es disfrutable.

Thank you! 😘
Merry Christmas! I enjoyed your guitar version of one of my favorite carols, and love the pretty tree with the changing lights! And your Santa sweater is quite unique too, lol! Keep up the good work! 😊
Hi, nice to have you back again! I'm glad this was one of your favourites and that you enjoyed it too. The tree lights are better in 'real' time, the 4K camera doesn't like them very much though, but as you say they're still pretty nice. The Christmas pullover is quite unique too I agree, and it will be making various appearances over the festive period too! I'm sure it will grab some attention 😁 Merry Christmas 🎄🎅 🦌🎁
Good job my friend! Nice sound!!!
