Happy St. Patty's Day to all. One of the many things I love about music is the beauty and diversity we have to choose from. Around our offices you will hear someone walking the halls singing a line from a Fall Out Boy song and 5 minutes later the same person is humming the melody to a Poco song. Listening to and playing songs that cross over genres and the decades is part of the joy of music. That is why we keep mixing it up for you as we add new titles.
This week we have cooked up a nice Shepard's Pie of goodies for you to feast on. New titles featuring our instructors include:
Sugar We're Going Down - Fall Out Boy
Drive - Incubus
Never Let You Go - Third Eye Blind
Round Here - Counting Crows
Only Wanna Be With You - Hootie & The Blowfish
Carry On - Kansas
Dust In The Wind - Kansas
My Happy Ending - Avril Lavigne
We are also adding some amazing artist titles including Jim Messina's country rock classic from his Poco days "You Better Think Twice". As is always the case with our artist videos, the nuggets on how to play the song are beautifully presented by Jim along with his interviews that bring to life the very human side behind the art of this great song.
Two new titles from Jon Foreman of Switchfoot are also in this new release. They include acoustic versions of "Meant To Live" and "Twenty-Four". These songs were shot at the studio near San Diego where many of Switchfoot's songs have been recorded. Jon does a wonderful job of sharing the intricate voicings and tunings of these hits.
Finally, we have three monsters in DADGAD tuning from the great Pierre Bensusan. They include "L'Alchimiste", "Silent Passenger" and "So Long Michael" which is Pierre's tribute to the legendary Michael Hedges.
Stay tuned. Much more to come. Meanwhile, hop on the blog and let us hear from you. We really want to know what songs and artists you are interested in seeing in the iVideosongs catalogue.
