The Oido (listening)
"Oido" is a spanish word meaning "ear". But this word is also being used in voice lesson and other music lessons. The term "Oido" in voice lesson means listening to a tune and copying the tune that you hear and projecting it through voice. So, if someone is singing out of tune, it means that he or she have a bad oido or bad ear(its not really the throat or vocal cords that have a problem). In order to get the right tune in singing, you should listen first. A good singer is a good listener.
This video is an example of Oido-ing. I can't read music sheet for piano. I just listen to music and try to play it. To be honest though, I regret not learning piano lessons. True, I play, but not as good as the pros and you can tell the difference. I am jealous of my brothers. They're both a good piano player. They uses both oido and music sheet. I feel kind of late for me to learn piano lesson and be as good as them.
But no matter what, I'm glad that I have the gift of listening just like every other musicians. And listening is the key to becoming a good musician. It's kind of late for me to learn music sheet, but it's never too late. Thanks to the power of oido.

Making Video of You With a Twin
This is a cover of me and myself singing a song by Extreme, "More Than Words".
I'm not just a musician. I have a lot of hobbies such as video editing, photography, and more. All self study. This video is my experiment. I made this more than a year ago when I first got an editing software. This technique is very simple. First I recorded myself playing the guitar using a camcorder in a tripod. Along with that I used an audio recording device so I can fit the timing perfectly of the music later when I record my other self singing. After recording myself playing. I stop the audio recording device and very carefully stop the recording of the camera. A slight movement of the position of the camera will ruin the whole concept. Then I record my other self singing while listening to the music that I recorded earlier using an earphone. When editing you just overlap the 2 videos that you captured and crop one in the middle. Not all of the video editing software can do this effect. You can use Magix Movie Edit Pro, Vegas Movie Studio, or the ultimate Adobe Premier Pro. And there you have it.
