I don't say this often... if you go through the ton of songs I've uploaded here you can probably count the number of times I said this on one hand and have some fingers left over... I really like this one. Literally everything about it. If…

I didn't even think of this until I started mixing tonight that this song has the exact same structural gimmick as the last song I posted. Ooops. I guess that's the risk you take when you are totally unoriginal and working on a sort of compilation…

This was supposed to be the centerpiece of this year's National Solo Album Month, but instead it's a complete turd and I'll probably stop acknowledging it's existence nine minutes after I finish uploading it. It's just a dog. Rhythm guitars…

On the scale from crap to hit single, this one probably lands somewhere around B-side. I like the chorus, I like the bridge, I don't like the verse which sucks since I used it three times. Oh well. From a production inside-baseball standpoint…

This was meant to be a sort of throw away thing to stick at the end of the album, but now that it's done I kinda dig it. I set up a drum loop and set up my delay pedal (a Wampler Faux Tape Echo 2.0) with a crap load of repeats and just started…

This was the last song I came up with for this year's National Solo Album Month and I think I'm going out on a good note. Sure it uses the cliche of switching between major (G) and the relative minor (Eminor) a lot in the chorus, but it works…

Normally playing in 7/8 time comes naturally to me. I think I might have been born missing an eighth note (get it? Hardy har har). On this one though, I wrote the bass part first and the chorus seemed simple enough. Playing the rhythm guitars…
