Hive Open Mic 117, True Friends - GUNS N ROSES - Patience

Welcome to my Hive Open Mic 117 video!

I have chosen to cover Guns N Roses, Patience - this is by one of my all time favourite bands! This theme means a lot to me as I have many true friends, and I am lucky enough to say that! Friends are so important. For me, a lot of my best friends are far away... in fact, they couldn't be further! I live in New Zealand and they are all in England. Since I have moved here I have been so focused on myself; working, learning, having solo adventures, and of course my music! My music takes up all of my spare time, and that is a choice that I make as I LOVE IT! So, usually, I get home from work at around 5pm, I workout, eat, and then it's time for music :)

This said, I can always count on a few friends. If I need them, I know where they are - and vice versa. Even if I haven't seen them in years (it's been almost 4 years!) I know when I do it will be just as we left off :)

So I guess this song Patience is a reminder that some things are still here, just be paitent and a better tomorrow is here :) now, I know this is a love song by Guns N Roses, but that is the beauty of music - it is whatever we want it to be!

As I didn't play to a backing track, I am also going to link a solo of this song that I have played down below:

In the description to that video I tell you a little more about this guitar I am playing. It is a very cheap guitar, and I got it when I was working in China. It was been everywhere with me and survived the test of time! Many other cheap guitars (for travel) we're not good and sadly broke on the plane as I was in transit - but not this one :)

I guess our instruments are a true friend too, right? They're always there for us, and we spend a lot of time with them!

Ps - sorry if the video is a little dark, I didn't sort out the lighting!

Also... I will be posting about my album soon.. it has JUST released! I'm excited! :)

Peace and love to you all!
