I wanted to do something as a kind-of “goodbye” in my move from Connecticut to South Carolina. This is a song by Kasey Chambers called “Nullarbor Song” that I think is really nice and fits the situation well… minus the dingos. My good friend and former musical partner Bill Greer was kind enough to play […]

…since I’ve done anything musical. So this awesome guy introduced me to Gotye and their single, “Somebody That I Used to Know,” and I became a little obsessed. Since I was singing it all the time anyway, I decided to attempt to try it out on guitar. When I found out it required a bar […]

this is not my best cover, since it’s 2:37 a.m. and i’m only doing this right now because i can’t sleep. i’ve been missing music a lot lately and wanting to learn something new. i have had a few songs in mind over the last couple of weeks. i randomly stumbled across this video again […]

i thought it might be beneficial to make a running list of songs i’d like to work on, as well as those i’ve already attempted (or conquered, if any). i’ll start with a few now and add to the list when i come up with more. Wild Horses – The Sundays No Rain – Blind […]

the first cover i ever attempted was “the way i am” by Ingrid Michaelson, in which i played only root notes for the entire song. today i sat down to try to learn “you” by The Pretty Reckless. after discovering that i could play all of the chords fairly easily, i was still having trouble […]

oh boy i really need to keep up with practicing regularly, not only to learn but to save my poor fingers! the video is pretty self-explanatory, and there’s a little write-up in the description. feel free to leave comments and tips, but try not to be too harsh, please 🙂

a few of my friends are in a band called Call 2 Consciousness, and I was very flattered when the singer asked me to record harmonies for the chorus of their newest song. I just finished recording and I’m really hoping it came out well. I was so nervous! If I can get the track […]

i made a profile on reverbnation, and i’m very happy to share it. any way i can get myself out there will help me break through my stage fright and get me that much closer to where i want to be. here’s the link: http://www.reverbnation.com/samanthasullivan i’m trying to figure out a way to make a link […]

i’m not on top of the guitar skills like some of my friends … so i enlisted the talents of a fabulous guitarist named Bill Greer. he’s pretty rad. we’re working on originals and covers. here’s a video we made of a cover of one of my favorite bands. Cover: Metric, Gimme Sympathy

this was an interesting video to make. i only have the basic video software on my laptop, so i was trying to do fancy things that it really couldn’t do. i ended up with a video that … isn’t terrible! i love this song. Cover: Chairlift, Bruises
