Song: Mad World (cover)

About seven months ago I bought a cheap electric guitar and started to teach myself how to play it. It’s been a lot of fun so far (and a fair bit of frustration – my current nemesis is the B7 chord). I think I’m at the stage where songs actually sound quite like songs, though fairly simplistic. So here’s my cover of Mad World, originally by Tears for Fears (Video of the original on YouTube).

This was recorded via a awful soundcard and an even worse microphone, with me singing very quietly because it was late and I didn’t want to annoy the neighbours. So, don’t expect too much of it.
