There's always been a question asked that is "what's your favorite cruising song?" This song just told me it was cruising and so it had to be named that way. Another track off of my 2016 self titled debut.

I always think of sunrise in military shows or movies as the sound of the horn, so when I was working on playing this track I thought it must be a Desert Sunrise. Another track from my 2016 self titled debut.

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.

This was one of my early recordings in 2016 as I had been learning how to create songs in a key and solo over them. This one was played over a Floyd style backing track, but I wanted to try a different lead tone. Another track off of my 2016…

Another early track in 2016 I was trying to express the sense of freedom I get when I play guitar. It is this type of freedom that led me to start teaching and the freedom continues to grow. Another track from my 2016 self titled debut.

Another old one I noticed that wasn't not here. The Good Wife on vocal, before fate reared it's ugly head.

This song was my introduction to the digital realm. I used all MIDI for this track and for me this was underground, so the concept of a Subterranean Love Affair seemed like the natural name for this track. This track is off of my 2016 self titled…

This would be what I call a stray track. I had been working with students on songwriting concepts with simplistic backing and after the lessons that night this just kind of came to me, so I tracked it. This was a stand alone single, so I just…

I always share with the students that Stephen King has always said that while he felt his first book was horrible there's no way he could have written great books without writing that first book. This was my first dip of the toe into a blues…

2017 introduced me to the RPM Challenge. This was my 2nd dip into the bluesy pool. I felt like I was starting to understand the clues for writing a bluesy rock song, so the name Blues Clues just made sense. This is off of my 2017 release Six…

One of the first songs I wrote for the RPM Challenge in 2017. The habit I had at that time was to record songs in sections and essentially paste them together. This song truly represented the force of that habit. From my 2017 release Six Strings…

One of my goals with the 2017 RPM Challenge was to play around with some different styles. This one was a little funky compared to what I had done to this point, so I was clearly trying to Funk Me & Funk You. Off of my 2017 release Six Strings…

This song was me flashing back to the hair metal era with bands like Dokken, Poison, Ratt, etc. Keeping the drum beat a little subdued made me feel like I was on the Jagged Edge of song styles. This is off of my 2017 release Six Strings &…

There's times when I listen to this where I believe Lost Sunset would have fit it better. This song represents what happens when you are trying to lay a new scale mode over a song but your comfort level is very limited. This song would be a…

When I first picked up a guitar it was Ozzy that I listened to the most and Randy Rhoads that really made me want to play. While I was significantly older and more mellow at this stage of life I had to track something that represented the Manic…

This track continued my throwback to the Ozzy/Sabbath phase of my musical life. I've heard that the track Paranoid was already used and so Paranoia it is. This track is off my 2017 release Six Strings & Sore Fingers.

A high school friend of mine was the person who tuned me on to the RPM Challenge and I'll be forever grateful. During the time I was writing songs for the challenge her beloved cat Purrcy passed away. There was no way I couldn't name a song…

The idea with this track was to have the bass lay down the foundational harmony while the guitar focused solely on the melody. The vibe that it gave me was essentially someone saying "back off me, I'm Untouchable." This was off my 2017 release…

Parthenon was Algernon's brother, despite the fact that they could not share a tank. It was only fair that Parthenon get a song that was so opposite of his brother's song. So Algernon had all MIDI, this track has just the drums. This is off…

So this release could have been named Pet Names or something like that. Bentley was a new pet for our youngest daughter and so he needed a song. I called him Sir Bentley almost immediately, so it seemed fitting that he would have adventures…

This is one of the handful of tracks that were all mine from my collaborative 2020 release with my students Class In Session - The Strummer Games. It felt like a throwback tune for me so it was recalling Back In The Day.

This song was composed with one of my newer students David Robinson. We were just dipping our toes into the global pandemic so he had some fun with the name. It was his first time tracking any guitars so it was a lot of fun doing this one…

This song is by one of my longest tenure students and a great dude, Ryley Neumeyer. This song was telling a tale in 3 phases and the siren sound, played by Ryley, as was the bass guitar was signalling bad news for the main character in the tale…
