Welcome to another Triple Threat Tuesday edition of the Laptop Sessions, as Jeff, Chris, and I all bring you this great tune from the Wallflowers- “Everything I Need”.

It’s funny how much I love “Red Letter Days” but never could get into any of their other albums. I love the hooks and the rockin’ sound on that album- I’ll be doing other songs off of it soon including my favorite: “How Good It Can Get”.

We’re going to see the Wallflowers for the first time in a few weeks- check the blog at https://guitarbucketlist.com to read our reviews of the concert!

I did this song in ONE take- which is a very rare occurrence. I’ve always liked how simple this song is, but still incredibly catchy.

I have SO many songs I can’t wait to premiere for everyone, as I’ve been trying to get as many Sessions done as possible so I can continue work on my two new album projects.

These videos are only three in a series of acoustic cover songs here on the Fusco-Moore Productions Blog.

Jeff’s Version is unfortunately no longer on YouTube…but here’s:

Good evening! Despite being down about my alumnus UConn losing to San Diego not too long ago, I am happy to bring you our latest Laptop Session. I hope today finds you enjoying your upcoming Easter weekend, and if you’re like me, glued to your TV set keeping up with the NCAA tournament.

Today I bring you another Wallflowers song, and my third session from their latest album “Rebel, Sweetheart”. It’s an extremely catchy track called “I Am A Building”. I always liked this song since I first heard it because of the catchy strumming pattern and drumbeat. Looking back on the writing of songs for my album, I think the strumming pattern from “Home” is inspired from this song.

It took me a few takes to get one I was happy with for this song. I actually had three versions, and the one I have selected is the most solid. This was take #17, and despite that, I still appear to be having fun with it!

Look for more additions to our series from Jim and me.

And as far as views are concerned, I expect to break 6,000 views tonight or tomorrow. Talk about an increase in viewership! Thank you so much to all loyal guitarbucketlist.com visitors.

Welcome to your Thumpin’ Thursday edition of the Laptop Sessions! I bring you yet another song from the Wallflowers, and one that not everyone is going to catch.

The song is “Empire in My Mind”, which is a bonus track from their album “Red Letter Days”. It is a solidly written song as well. While simple as well, it remains a favorite of mine.

The Laptop Sessions continue the trek through 2008 for a Session a day! Stay tuned for my next video, and then my next edition of Original Wednesday.

I hope you are enjoying the Laptop Sessions!

I think this is an under-appreciated song from the post-“One Headlight” album Breach. This was a lot of fun to finally learn and play. From the moment Jim mentioned the idea for these laptop sessions, I thought this would be a great one to pull out. And I feel that I’ve waited long enough after Jeff’s last Wallflowers post to finally put this one up here.

Stay tuned for more!
