Liv'in'Proof, s[i]nglish & Everlight's Keep - Musical'âme
It's been a while since I updated this site, mainly because I've been creating a site for Liv'in'Proof, the duo I form with Michelle. I've finally got the new site up and running, and I've modified the main navigation to include the link. I've also added a link for the website of the musical association we recently created with friends, called Musical'âme. Changes in our work over the last year have meant we spend a lot more time in musical activites, and this association helps us to organise those activities which include our duo and the choir s[i]nglish, but also our group which also goes by the name Everlight's Keep. Plase feel free to explore the new site and enjoy our music . . . Read more

Music - Learn To Play
An excellent song, with a great message in the lyrics! It's incredibly simple to play as it just repeats the same 4 chords over and over, but without getting boring!

This is a song by the French artist Zazie. She has a wealth of songs, most of which touch on very interesting themes, like this one touching on the nature of man, our pride and foolishness.
It's not the simplest song to play, as it plays a little with the chord structure in places, but the rhythmic pattern is fairly simple . . . Read more

Here's a cool song by Yannick Noah. It's pretty simple to play, using only 4 chords. However I've included two versions, as the original song starts with Fm and requires the use of barre chords throughout the song. The alternative version is in Em and can thus be played using barre chords or open chords played up by the headstock. Personally I think the song sounds better and closer to the original with the barr chords, and they work better for getting the rhythm . . . Read more

This is a beautful little song from the Hannah Montana Movie, starring Miley Cyrus and her dad Billy Ray Cyrus. The song's a sort of lullaby, and features the voices of daughter and dad.
The song's simple enough, and if you use a capo on the 4th fret, as in the video on this page, the song sounds fine. One video I came across shows Hannah's guitarists playing with capo on the 9th fret, which is for an exact rendition, but it's obviously a lot harder to play . . . Read more
