Borrowed my dad's Dobro and fumbled through part of the circle of fifths on my acoustic guitar.

Parametric plugin drums and feeble slap bass.

More parametric plugin drums with some "just making sure the computer will record the guitar" bits pasted in.

Testing the MIDI-to-USB cable from my cheapie keyboard into FL Studio.

Dorked around with the same circle-of-fifths thing while waiting for people to show up to a jam session. (They didn't.)

Hooked up my old Casio keyboard to see if it still worked and if I could record it into the computer.

1980s Casio keyboard again, with some crappy guitar added.

Casio keyboard plus tremolo guitar.

Two riffs on guitar and bass, over programmed drums.

Programmed the drum part on my old Kawai drum machine for a buddy back in 1995. Managed to import into FL Studio, so I wrote a crappy guitar part to celebrate.

Messing around with the settings for the drum plugin. Didn't think to disable the miscellaneous percussion settings, and ended up liking them.

When learning this guitar part, my bandmate asked me, "Do you write anything that's not weird?" (or something to that effect). No, sir. I do not.

Recorded myself learning ukulele chords, then pasted it on a busy parametric drum track.

One of the happier-sounding things I've ever come up with. Ukulele and upright bass.

Set the parametric drum plugin to "all fills/solos" and pasted an unrelated bass part over it. ("Xenochrony" is a Zappa-ism.)
