Monday Music : Take On Me

Some of you already know that I love guitar music.  So it's not surprising that I have subscribed to Sungha Jung's You Tube channel.  Every time he uploads a new video, I get an email notification.  This video is not his latest, but among the recent ones uploaded within the last couple of months.  I would say he started it out well with the tapping intro.  I'd say it's a difficult piece to execute on just one acoustic guitar.  You know the songs from the eighties, they use lots of those synthesizers that are hard to mimic on conventional instruments.  Listening to Sungha Jung's version of the song takes some getting used to, at least for me.  I've been so accustomed to the original version.  Anyway, here is the once cute little boy who's now all grown up.

Mike Tompkins' One-man A Cappella

Mike Tompkins, A Capella, voice, mouth

I have always admired people with great singing voices. I suppose it's my natural love for music and even if I can't sing as good as them, I know how to appreciate great talent.

However, to be able to do more than just singing all those voices is something else. I am sure most of you are familiar with those beat boxing sounds. How about the sound of guitar, piano, synthesizer, cymbal, hi-hat, and other musical instruments using your mouth and voice only? A group of people could probably do that, but what if it's just one man? Whoa!
