My Methodology.
My guitar is connected to my AX3000G foot pedal, which is then plugged into a Scarlet Focusrite 2i4 connected to my computer.
I play the backing track through Audacity (free), whilst simultaneously recording the soundtrack of me playing the lead, also with Audacity.
I use two old Samsung phones to record the video. Using PowerDirector, I synchronise the soundtrack and the videos.
This adds interest using different angles/zoom etc. Keeping the soundtrack original, I add sections of the two videos over the soundtrack.

There should be new songs each week as I try to post on Mondays and Thursdays.
Comments
I love receiving comments from you but sincerely apologise for not answering them. There are just too many. I do read them all, including those in foreign languages.
I thoroughly enjoy playing guitar. I hope you enjoy listening.
Thank you.

Lyrics
Long ago, and oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here, it's just the radio
Don't you remember, you told me you loved me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
Loneliness is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again
What to say, to make you come again? (Ooh, baby)
Come back to me again (Ooh, baby)
And play your sad guitar
Don't you remember, you told me you loved me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
Don't you remember, you told me you loved me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
I am playing it on my Fender Sunburst Stratocaster, through my Korg AX3000G.
I hope you like it. Dave
