Jamuary 2023 Day 11 Will You Brian Funk 2023-01-12 | I asked Chat GPT to write the description for this video lol:"Introducing our new music video for our Jamuary challenge entry! The video features Brian Funk, a solo musician, singing and playing electric guitar.The video opens with a close-up shot of Brian's hands as he strums the opening chords of the alternative rocksong. As he starts singing, the camera pulls back to reveal Brian on a dimly lit stage, surrounded by shadows, with the focus only on him and his guitar.As the song progresses, we see close-ups of Brian's fingers fretting the guitar and his facial expressions as he pours his emotions into the lyrics. The intensity of his performance is palpable as he sings and plays with passion and raw energy.The video showcases Brian's skill as a musician and his emotional connection to the music. It is an intimate performance that highlights the raw power of a single musician, Brian Funk and his electric guitar.
