HIVE Open Mic 114 - More Than Words - Extreme - More Than Words (cover)

Here is my song for HIVE open mic 114! The theme for this week is 'More Than Words' so I couldn't resist... I had to play one of my favourite songs, More Than Words!

This is a song by Extreme, and the guitarist Nuno Bettencourt is one of the all time greats. I think many of you will know this song :) this is a wonderful acoustic love song, a true musical masterpeice!

I hope this song brings all of you peace, love and relaxation! Global harmony is our mission, world peace is our vision!:)

I will give everyone a little bit more information about myself too - I am living in New Zealand and have been really working on my music over the recent years. I've played guitar for about 17 years now, but have had some times where I neglected my playing for a bit. The past 3 years I have been focused, and rekindled my love for music. I've been recording songs and I am releasing my debut album on the 9th July! I'll keep you all updated!

My musical journey is a work in progress, I'm not the best singer but love to play and sing, and will use these videos as a reference point to improve upon! The song is actually sang an octave higher, but it was a little too high for me. Maybe I will give it a go soon after a bit of practice and see how it sounds :)

For this submission I really wanted to play a big guitar solo like I usally do, but music is about evolving and trying something new - so it is quite rare for me to record myself singing and playing like this! However, there will be more to come! :)

Peace and love to you all! Can't wait to check out even more awesome submissions :)
