🎶 XO – Beyoncé Cover (Solo Guitar & Vocals Performance)
Performed by Walt Pitts | Prime Vibe Music
In this video, I’m performing my smooth, soulful one-man-band version of “XO” by Beyoncé, written by Ryan Tedder, Terius Nash, and Beyoncé Knowles. I love adding my personal touch to this upbeat tune, blending guitar and vocals to create an intimate yet powerful rendition that still captures the original’s energy.
This live music performance was recorded at the Desert Mountain Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, at the Cochise / Geronimo Clubhouse restaurant on August 3, 2019. I’ve been performing for the Desert Mountain community since 2002, and it’s always a joy to entertain such a great crowd.

I used the loop feature in the VE-8 to create a loop of the verse and chorus chord changes, which gave me the foundation to solo over.
