The Great Quest to Write a Heavy Rocker in 3/4 Time Continues. Kinda generic, but I like the vibe and the vocal harmonies aren't terrible. I used a couple of different tones for the leads which was also neat.

Okay, am I the only person who thinks it's delightfully goofy to play a 12-bar blues in 7/8 time? I think I might be. I keep doing it and I just giggle all the way through. This one isn't that good of an example as I was mentally done with…

I really enjoy working on these quiet little semi-trippy ballad type things, but then when I listen back a month or two later I can't figure out why I liked it and then I never listen to it again. I can see this song's future.

I like this one, even though there's not a lot to it musically. Mix wise, there's tons going on. Four rhythm guitar tracks, five vocal tracks, four lead guitar tracks, and (really) two drum tracks. Oh yeah, and one lonely bass guitar.

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.

Nothing really noteworthy about this one except that it's in 7/8 time. If I didn't stop myself I'd write every song in 7/8 time. I just like my rock and roll in screwy time signatures. What's a red head to do, right?
