Good evening to everyone at www.guitarbucketlist.com. It’s Jeff for your Monday edition, and it’s time to go back to the favorite band and to exhaust all their singles from “Bringing Down The Horse”. I get the privilege of bringing you “Three Marlenas”.

I also bring it to you while being shy of a few pounds. You’ll notice I am now clean-shaven, and that is because it was the agreement with my wife. If I purchased a new amplifier, then I would have to shave the beard.

Anyway, while this song is quite simple to play, it tells an interesting story and I like the song a lot. “Bringing Down The Horse” is a terrific album and you should consider giving it a listen if you can.

The Wallflowers are a popular band here at www.guitarbucketlist.com. I’m sure you’ll hear more of them in future sessions. Until then, enjoy “Three Marlenas”!

“I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” (U2 Cover)

Welcome to Friday’s edition of #1 week. Today I bring you a new band to the sessions, and another great #1 hit.

You must live under a rock if you don’t know the band U2. Off of their album “The Joshua Tree” is one of their only 2 U.S. #1 hits, which is competing for longest song title. Again, I had to take out a bunch of the spacing to get the title to fit in Youtube’s field.

The song “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” is a classic to me, since I have known it since I saw the music video as a kid. I loved the chorus and I think I annoyed my entire family running up and down the halls of the house. I have always enjoyed U2 for reasons such as Edge their guitarist, and Bono has an incredible range.

Speaking of Bono’s range, I originally recorded this session with me singing it an octave lower. However, I wasn’t happy with it. So I decided to sing it in the intended range. You can tell that some notes are hard to hit, but I feel that you will enjoy this performance more, despite the vocal difficulties I may appear to be having.

You will also notice my wife sitting in the background listening on the performance. She also selected the regular range video for you.

Video Blog Milestone: Songwriter Jeff Copperthite at 10,000 views!

It happened literally overnight. I went to sleep lastnight 50 views short of the magic number of 10,000….and this morning I have 10,010! Finally I join my colleagues Chris and Jim in the 5 digit view-count department.

Another milestone has been achieved at our site, and we continue to gain popularity by the day. Our goal, as mentioned a week or two ago by Jim, is to obtain a combined total of 500,000 views by the end of the year. I since told him that we should not only achieve it, but we should shatter that mark by the end of the year.

Think about it – one session per day will mean each of us will have posted at least 121 videos in the year 2008. Many of those will have been up for a good portion of the year. We are constantly making ourselves known in search engines, message boards, and people we know. We are seeing signs of our efforts when we see how many views our blog gets per day, and our video views per day continue to increase steadily.

On March 31, I had 6,791 views, and on February 29th I had 3,932 views. I have averaged about 104 views per day in April, up from 92 views per day in March. And technically, today is far from over as well.

Thank you so much for making www.guitarbucketlist.com the place to see some great covers and great original music. The three of us hope you continue to make this site the place to visit every day!

Good evening to everyone out there! It’s Jeff bringing you today’s edition of The Laptop Sessions, and our third addition to #1 week here. I bring you a new band, and another hit #1 song.

Today’s band is The Eagles, among the kings of classic rock, and their #1 hit from “On the Border” – “Best Of My Love” is today’s song. I have always enjoyed The Eagles since my father introduced them to me when I was a kid. You will see more sessions from them in the future.

I always have liked this song, as have many others. The strumming is very catchy, and the story it tells of relationships is a good one as well.

Thank you for visiting guitarbucketlist.com!
