In the lead up to Renaissance Easter festival 2014 DJ Royce and I started rehearsing for a live performance. Mental Anguish was the first track we found that "worked" and this is the first take of me playing live guitar along with it. I like a lot of the guitar sound I captured in this first take and still think it's perhaps the best version in terms of the lead guitar licks I play.

DJ Royce: Mental Anguish / Easily Embarrassed with Chris Psyraver live guitar (Take 1)

This is one of my original songs I wrote around 2003-2004 in London.  It's about the girls in our lives and how though they may do crazy things we love them all the more for that very reason.

This recording was done with Shannon Gobaira doing sound engineering for me, using his available studio time at SAE Institute in South Melbourne.  Shannon did all the post-production work and mixing too.  Thanks heaps mate!

It's not a bad effort by me if I do say so myself.  There are a few little fuckups but the whole thing was done in a few hours one night and each instrument only had a few takes.

I'm doing vocal, acoustic guitar, electric lead guitar, bass and gazoo!  Enjoy!!!
