The first RPM2020 song. For this song I setup a click track and just started playing. There are only two phrases and there are punch in's everywhere and many of them are just plain bad.

This is an alternate mix of an RPM2020 song. I'm hoping half of my album will be arranged for acoustic guitar, hand percussion, and saxophone. I also want to do an alternate mix of each of those songs with the usual three piece rock band arrangement…

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…

CALIFORNIA
Capo @ 4 in C/Am
I’m (Am) going back to California
A little place in the San (E) Joaquin

Where the back pasture builds
To Sierra foothills
And Kaweah tumbles down cool and clean
I’m going back…

For ages I've wanted to do my own version of this song, hope I've done it justice.

This one is a coffee shoppe arrangement but as soon as I had the guitar parts down I thought it would sound good with drums and bass. As soon as I had that thought I decided to do two versions of each acoustic song.

This was the first idea I had for RPM this year. It was the first song to have guitars, the first to have lyrics, the first to have pretty much everything. Why then wasn't it the first to get mixed? I don't know. I kinda like this but maybe…

I liked this one as I was working on it. Now that it's done... meh. I feel like I am trying to do too much with way too little. It was a nice idea, and I love anything in 7/8, but I don't know about this puppy.

The plan for the RPM Challenge this year is to do an album with two distinct parts. Side One (if you'll indulge the ancient way of thinking) will be a straight up bar band. The instrumentation will be my normal guitar/bass/drums/vocals. Side…

Another band mix of an acoustic song. I had a hard time getting GarageBand's drummer to fit. I went from way too busy to way too passive to mildly too busy and decided to live with it. I think the problem was probably the 7/4 time signature…

My usual generic mid-tempo rock tune. This was written on the guitar rather than on a midi instrument in GarageBand, so I like it a little for that alone. Really though, the whole thing is worth it for the four bar disco break toward the end…
