黑色幽默 Black Humour - with Emerald X10



Here's another Shen Jau/ Desmond Goh collaboration - this time Desmond plays the (in my opinion) very under-rated Emerald X10 OM sized carbon fibre guitar.

Desmond Goh is a full time guitar instructor - do check out his website here.

This difficult-to-sing tune is another Jay Chou classic - 黑色幽默 Black Humour.

You can see more demo videos of various models of Emerald Guitars, and more videos showcasing Shen Jau's excellent voice, here.

Artmusickitchen has a full range of Emerald Guitars in stock, including the X5, X7-OS and T8 trio of travel sized guitars, and this very X10!

Emerald T8 covers another Jay Chou tune - 雨下一整晚 (Rain All Night)



As promised, here's a new video demo, this time featuring the very versatile and travel sized Emerald T8 guitar. Despite it's diminutive size, it definitely punches above it's weight in terms of sound.
Plus it's got a truss rod for those of you who like to fiddle about with neck action!

Putting the T8 through it's paces is our long time friend and collaborator, Desmond Goh.
Desmond is a full time guitar instructor - do check out his website here:

On vocals is Shen Jau, an extraordinarily cool dude with an extraordinarily cool voice.
It's not the first time we've had the privilege of having him sing for us at Artmusickitchen - you can see and hear more of him in an earlier series of our recordings here:

The tune is the ever popular karaoke staple, Jay Chou's 雨下一整晚 (Rain All Night).

Artmusickitchen has a full range of Emerald Guitars in stock, including this very T8, the travel sized X5-OS and X7-OS, and the OM sized X10.

Besame Mucho - Emerald X7-OS does Spanish!



For months, I deliberately sat on this one, cos it's my favourite Jocelyn Ong recording and I wanted to save the best for last.

Here is Jocelyn doing a smoky, sultry and achingly beautiful rendition of Consuelo Velazquez's 1940 tune, Besame Mucho, written when she was all of 15 years old!
According to Wikipedia, it's the most sung and recorded Spanish language song in the world!!

The guitar is, of course, the versatile Emerald X7-OS - the little travel guitar with the big sound!!

Artmusickitchen has a new shipment of Emerald X7-OS and X20-OS on the way to Singapore as we speak!

Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Apologies for the long delay, but here, once again, is our very own, and ever effervescent, Jocelyn Ong!



This time, she covers a song as bright and cheerful as her personality - Frankie Valli's 1967 hit, Can't Take My Eyes Off You.
Check out how this talented multi-instrumentalist manages to add in a trumpet solo midway into this tune!

The guitar, of course, needs little introduction - the versatile X7-OS - the little travel guitar with the big sound!!

Artmusickitchen has a full range of Emerald Guitars in stock, including the travel sized X5-OS, T8, and the X7-OS; and the X10 and X20-OS full sized carbon fibre guitars!!

Perhaps fittingly, the song is Wang Leehom's Kiss Goodbye.

Emerald Guitars live in Saigon!

Forget for a moment that this is not up to Artmusickitchen's usual, ahem, impeccable production standard....this is as good as it gets when the boys of Artmusickitchen get totally sloshed in Saigon, Vietnam!



This clip features non other than the famous Singapore duo, Jack & Rai, two of our most valued friends and fervent supporters, doing an impromptu take on the Hikaru Utada hit from 1999, First Love.

Jack's weapon of choice for the night is the Emerald T8, while Rai's axe is the Emerald X7-OS.
Both are versatile and travel sized carbon fibre guitars!
