DISCLAIMER: In producing my covers, I use instrumental, karaoke and third-party backing tracks. If you want 100% live music, this is not your place. My covers are for entertainment purposes only. My channel is not, and never will be monetized.
FULL DISCLOSURE: As I fast-approach 60 years of age, it is getting harder to hit the high notes, not to mention play the guitar for extended periods without age-related aches and pains. I pre-record my own vocal and instrumental tracks, and fully admit to lip syncing and miming as accurately as possible to the master track for video.
