A lot of people have been changing their "names," and so I thought why not? Just join in on the fun and change mine. So, I chose "Pink Flamingoes. A reference to a song that has been one of my most popular and most profitable songs, with three versions of it to date, and the namesake of my album. So one day I decided to do a little video because people seem to like break downs, and so I decided to break down the very basics to the melody of this song, and decided to put it on YouTube for all to see. So, before I change my name again I thought I would just share this short little video. Nothing to see here. Just being myself and having some fun. But boy, did I need a haircut. lol. I hope you at least enjoy watching and we will quickly move on to other things soon. At least this is a nice break from politics, right?
I am thinking about doing a more extensive video on the playing, writing, and breakdown of Pink Flamingoes, one of my more popular songs. If anyone is inter...

Nope. No tutorials. But there are tons on YouTube. I actually wish I had YouTube when I first started playing, but we barely had computers back then. At least not ones that were necessarily affordable.

@rakski It is amazing to think how reliant I am on them today when for so long they were virtually non-existent.

@porwest That's good you did. I'd hate to think how long it would be by now if you let it go.

Now I know why I didn't stick with guitar lessons as a kid. (just kidding) The real reason is I stunk at it and second when spring and summer time came I would rather by playing baseball, lol. The only Pink Flamingoes I'm familiar with are the ones I saw on a lawn in Florida. Apparently, there was a John Waters film by this name. Guess I missed that one...

If I knew my way around YouTube better I would probably do a better video with a better breakdown. I actually did this for my sister who likes my music and my nephew who plays guitar and was curious. It's VERY raw. IF you want to listen, here is the actual stupid, ugly, horrible song I was referring to.

@CarolDM Come to think of it, it has been a bit since I have been able to pick the guitar up. Been so busy. Maybe when the wifey is out of town not next week, but the week after.

Thanks. I purposely misspelled "flamingoes" just to separate it. It's a lot of fun doing this sort of thing.
