My first of s series of Forza Motorsport videos. I made this one, really as a quick experimental video, just to get one quickly made and up on the net to show club & Friends what is to come. I saved Saved WMV videos from Xbox to thumbdrive. I used Xtaf gui 44 to export to something Le fluffe can turn to the individual WMV Videos. The Music is made by myself. its 100% Original and was placed on various unsigned artist pages back in 2009. so its not hard to prove its mine (Just in case any one is thinking of biting my tracks). No downed loops, very few presets. guitar is real. all done with equipment worth less that $500 inc guitar, Midi Key board, and PC. lol
