And the 2021 50/90 Challenge is underway. One down, 49 to go.

Not sure of the mix on this one. I thought about putting a flanger onto the bass when it's the only thing playing in the middle of the song. I still might go back and do it.

There's so many ways I interpret this song title. In search of better drum tones, in search of the trick to getting the tracks to layer right in production, etc. Like most of my tracks, this one will always represent a point in time in my playing…

This was really a transition piece that struck me after I had finished working on some heavier, darker music. As I was playing around with it, Love Still Wins just struck me as an appropriate name. Another track from my 2016 self titled debut.

Well I did try and get an RPM challenge done after last years fail, but I'm still lacking enthusiasm or creativity.

I setup a drum loop and started playing and this is what happened. The verse is a 12-bar, the chorus is the V chord section of a 12-bar. There were a lot of punch ins for both the rhythm guitar and the bass, but there was no copy and paste anywhere…
