Our band decided to do a cover of "Crossroad" as one of the songs for our last Spring Concert before graduating from high school. It's not perfect, there are mistakes, but still, hope you guys like it : ) btw. Watch in 1080p HD! And feel free to leave a comment or help us click like on youtube. Cheers!!

If you're wondering which one is me, I would be the vocal in this vid. My band mate is playing on my Black Maple Neck Strat. I usually play guitar and he's the main vocalist in our band, but for this song, I decided to sing cz I love Crossroad. lol

That's terrific. :)

Makes me wish I was doing this at your age instead of waiting until I was into my late thirties to take up Guitar. Oh well!

Rock on!

Hey guys, is there another song that's similar to Crossroads? I mean, this style of music and similar vocal range, not too hard on the guitar and not too hard on the vocal. Cz I really enjoyed singing and playing this type of song. Was hoping to find another song similar to Crossroads and perform it if there's another chance, or just do a cover on my own. Any suggestions? : p

Give Red House by Jimmy Hendrix a go and there are also thousands of Blues artists out there for you to pick from from.
Looks like you are on the start of your musical apprenticeship!
C'mon guys give this guy some decent tunes to get his head around! :)

Lots of songs you can try Jimmy, I would suggest 'Cherry Red' by the Groundhogs as a number that as a similar drive and feel to 'Crossroad'.

Not only was it a great job, it's refreshing younger people enjoying the classics us old farts grew up on.


:lol:

oh wow just noticed that there's 1000+ views on Youtube now... wasn't expecting to get that much views... not even sure if we deserves that much views, lol, I mean, other videos that we uploaded rarely gets pass 1000 views. Thought we did just alright on this one... and there were mistakes. But I just wanna say thanks for viewing and giving those feedback guys. Really appreciate it, this means something, it's like a motivation to see not only us but other people are enjoying it as well : ) btw it's not necessary but would be nice if u guys could leave the feedback / suggestions under youtube's comment, cz I'm sure my band mates would be glad to see them as well. Cheers!! : D
