That’s right, folks!

Jim Fusco has reached a tenth of a million collective views on his YouTube videos!

Jim’s popular “Laptop Sessions” videos are a mix of cover songs and original music that he releases every three days.  The other days are split between friends Chris Moore and Jeff Copperthite, and brother, Mike Fusco.

He has 115 Laptop Sessions videos so far and a few “How To” videos, as well.

At this pace, Jim is on par to reach 175,000 views by the end of 2008, shattering previous predictions made earlier on in the year.  We hope that you’ll stay tuned to the Laptop Sessions to keep track of Jim’s progress, as we’ll be announcing all of the milestones that we’re sure to reach here on the best music video blog online!

Yes, that’s right folks- I’m at 50,000 views and counting! It only took about 20 days to get there and it puts me on pace to match my goal of 55,000 by the end of the month. We have plenty of things in store for you in the coming weeks and I truly expect this number to skyrocket in the very near future.

Again, thanks for your support of my videos and ALL of the videos here at guitarbucketlist.com!

In my world, goals are made to be broken. I’m that “Type A” personality that needs to get things done and won’t stop until it’s done completely. That said, I made a goal for myself to get 100 subscribers and 35,000 YouTube views by my birthday next Tuesday, April 29.

I made that goal about two months ago, and today, I reached 40,000 views to go along with my 128 subscribers!

It’s a nice milestone, but I need to make a better goal for next time around, so here it is.

I would like 225 subscribers and 55,000 views by May 31st. It’s a lofty goal, seeing that as of now, I’m averaging about 10,000 views a month. I’m hoping May brings me 15,000. I think it’s possible, though.

Between the three of us, I don’t see any reason why we can’t shoot for 250,000 total views by the end of the year. We’re currently on pace to get 211,920 views by year end, but as we’ve seen in the past four months, this keeps growing by leaps and bounds. I can only think that we’ll easily eclipse that 250k number because the viewership seems to grow somewhat exponentially.

That said, goals are great if you intend to complete them, and that’s what Jim, Chris, and Jeff ALL plan to do here at the Laptop Sessions. Thank you for your support and we hope you’ll tell all your friends in person, on MySpace, and on Facebook to come watch some great videos here at https://guitarbucketlist.com!

“Scare Easy” (Mudcrutch Cover)

**CHORDS / TABS BELOW!!**

By Chris Moore:

I was on the Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Message Board yesterday, and I came across a newly released song from Mudcrutch. For those who haven’t heard, Tom Petty has reassembled his high school band, Mudcrutch, and they’re releasing a new album on April 29th. I knew this was coming, but I had no idea one of the songs was out yet! I listened to it, and I knew immediately it would be a lot of fun to record!

So, I proudly bring you “Scare Easy,” off the not-yet-released Mudcrutch album. I hope you enjoy my version of it. Since I was warmed up from last night’s four hour (8:30-12:30) “Laptop Sessions Live” show at Testa’s Bar, I threw in some harmonica to make up for the missing guitar solo. Speaking of the show last night, I want to thank everyone who came out for your support. I’m sure Jim and Jeff will be mentioning it in their posts over the next couple days, but I, for one, hope this isn’t the last show we do. I can’t wait to master new songs (and to brush up on old ones that I wish I had remembered easier…).

Finally, I am really excited to announce two milestones today — I just found out about my 150th subscriber and I am 6 video views away from 10,000 total views on YouTube! I realize these are just numbers, but it really gives me hope that the Laptop Sessions will become even more successful and that people will hear the good things that are happening at The Laptop Sessions Music Blog!

Thank you again to those on the Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Message Board who posted the chords and lyrics for this song. See you next session!

CHORDS!

Am           G          Em         D
My love’s an ocean, you better not cross it
I’ve been the distance and I need some rest
Yeah, I had somebody once, and damn if I lost her
I’ve been running like a man possessed

        C      G          D
I don’t scare easy
Don’t fall apart when I’m under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain’t gonna run

        Am                D
I don’t scare easy for no one

Yeah, I’m a loser at the top of my game
I should have known to keep an eye on you
I got a sky that ain’t never the same
Yeah, I got a dream that don’t ever come true

CHORUS

SOLO to verse chords

Sun going down on a canyon wall
I’ve got a soul that ain’t never been blessed
Yeah, I’m a shadow at the back of the hall
Yeah, I got a sin I ain’t never confessed…
