Evolution of Song - 50 Years in 18 Minutes (recorded from scratch)

This video was thrown together in an attempt to do something a little 'different'. As a songwriter, I thought it would be advantageous to fully explore pop and rock's back catalogue. All songs were recorded and performed by myself, using nothing but my ear to work them out. It isn't perfect, but it was a lot of fun to construct!
