Guitar+MacBook Music: Shaurya and I

One of the best parts of visiting family here in Essex, England, apart from the awesome food and conversation, is getting to jam with Shaurya. We used to jam as kids back in Nepal, and after at least three years of not having seen each other, we got to make some music again.

The way things worked back then was that Shaurya, Parag and I would usually play a variety of instruments (sometimes switching among them!) on a selection of The Beatles, CCR and Hendrix songs.

This time around, the only instrument we had was a guitar and our voices. But thanks to the amazing MacBook (with GarageBand 2), we also got a piano and drums!

Videos of two of our cover jams:

The Beatles – Michelle

Coldplay – Don’t Panic

I’m flying out of the UK early tomorrow out of Gatwick, so it’ll be a while before we’ll be able to jam again. But these videos by themselves have made my UK trip more than worth it.

We’d love to have your comments and feedback. And thanks to all who’ve responded on YouTube, on Facebook and by email!
