My first "gig"!


2/6/2009 Hank's Saloon (edited version) from Courtney Burns on Vimeo.

So, here is the video of my first performance with my guitar class. I started taking lessons at the Brooklyn Guitar School a few months ago. I started with a 10-week "Absolute Beginners" class. Now, I have just begun my "Intermediate Beginners" class. So, that is why I still suck. But, someday I will be good!! Just you wait and see!

My guitar school has somewhat regular shows at a pretty divey bar called Hank's Saloon. It gives the students and the instructors an opportunity to show off. This is the first one my class participated in. My instructor is the singer and the crowd was nice enough to take care of the back up singing for us. It was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to the next one!

Hope you enjoy!! (haha)

Brava! Now we know what you've been up to during your free time. Next time, will you sing?

Well, I thought perhaps... but after listening to myself in the shower the other day, I think not. Its really is in the best interest of everyone in earshot!
