The Thrill is Gone

This website's for kids, isn't it? Well yes, but I hope to develop the About Us section to include information and examples from all the music teachers at ISB. So anyway, here's an example of what I get up to in my spare time...
The Thrill is Gone is a song I like by B.B. King and I thought it would be a good to see what it would sound like if I played all the instruments on it. I've done something like this a long time ago, but since then I've learned to use a computer and make videos too, so it was time to try again.  

Unfortunately, it didn't turn out to be as easy as I thought it would be. When I started I imagined that it would take maybe two days to record the music and then a day to make a simple video. I also thought that if I filmed myself while I was recording the music, then it would be quite easy to put together a realistic looking video afterwards. How little I knew! In the end it took about two full weeks to record and edit everything and there was also a nine month gap between the two weeks. Next time I make a music video I'll just film someone walking along the beach with some nice backing music, or drive round the city at night with the camera pointing out the window - easy.   

Actually, I've learned so many things by trying to do this, I'm going to put below a list of useful tips to remember. Sometime or other...
