This is your chance to have your music seen and heard by thousands of Laptop Sessions viewers!  Every day, hundreds of people come to guitarbucketlist.com to view the video post of the day, as well as the hundreds of archived music videos.

Now, we want YOU to record a Laptop Session!

This is a very simple process, and there are only two criteria:  One, that you can play guitar, and two, that you can sing.  Pretty easy, right?

Here’s how to submit:

It’s a simple, 2-step process…

First, record a cover song music video (choose any cover!) and post it on YouTube.com.

Second, send an email to admin@guitarbucketlist.com with:

– the link to your YouTube cover video
– a written description of your video (info about the song, why you recorded it, etc.)
– your contact info

Jim, Chris, and Jeff will choose one video each week, to be posted on Friday.  So, don’t wait — submit your Laptop Session today!!

** Please, no more than two (2) submissions per week. **

We’re looking forward to including new faces and interpretations.  Really, we hope you’ll take part in this great project and that you’ll fill up our 52 Friday slots of the year!

Behind the Scenes IV (Cover Music Video Series)

Welcome to a special edition video that Chris has done a few for. Now it’s my turn!

This video documents an unusual way to lose a take. We here at guitarbucketlist.com have many ways to mess up during our recordings – missed chords, forgotten lyrics, sounds in the background, etc. Thankfully you see only the best.

However, now you get a rare look!

Well, enjoy this while I get today’s session up and running!

Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, Jeff’s acoustic cover song music videos are no longer on YouTube, but we decided to keep his cover song blog posts up.  We figured these music blog entries would be good for posterity’s sake and because Jeff always gave such insightful posts each Session.  We hope to see Jeff’s impressive catalog of acoustic rock songs here on the Laptop Sessions cover songs and origianal music blog again in the future.  But, for now, please make sure to check-out hundreds of other acoustic cover songs from all of your favorite bands here on the Laptop Sessions music blog!

How Songwriter Jim Fusco Writes a Song – Part 3

By Jim Fusco:

A few years ago, I did a video documentary for my MySpace blog showing how I go through the songwriting process.

This particular video shows how I develop a chord progression, a tune, and lyrics for a song from scratch.

Of course, I don’t write many of my songs this way- this was a long and tedious process. But, it’s interesting to see how I began the writing process in Part 1, completed the writing in Part 2, and played live for the first time ever (a few days later) in Part 3.

I hope you enjoy my mini-documentary and will check out my other “How I” videos, like “How I Record A Song” and “How I Develop A Song”!

For all of my original music, check out my website at http://jimfusco.com .

Also, check out the Laptop Sessions YouTube video series, where we at Fusco-Moore Productions cover your favorite artists unlike any other YouTube covers—good! 🙂 Our complete video site is at https://guitarbucketlist.com .
