Another one with an attempt to sort of improvise the rhythm guitar part. Some of it at least. Also, another one with a melody that... well... seemed like a good idea at the time. The rhythm guitar is a Gibson SG, the lead is a Gibson Les…

I've been writing melodies and lyrics earlier in the process than I'm really used to. Normally I sit at the mic and write and record everything at once. Lately I've been writing a melody with a piano track, then writing lyrics that fit, and…

There are a few things from this month's batch of songs that I tried to kind of improvise the rhythm guitar part. I looped a section of the song and without figuring out what I wanted to do ahead of time I hit record and saw what happened. This…

So... I usually try to come up with a little story about each song when I post. This time... I got nothing. It's in 7/8 and there was one section that I screwed up the guitar part about a million times. Other than that? I got nothing. The…

The third song of my socially distant RPM ii: RPMarch 2020 thing or whatever it is. I have this need to try and make 3/4 time rock. This one is okay. Recording the vocals in the car on a Friday morning before work is even weirder than usual…

The second song for my ridiculous post-RPM Challenge album in a month yet again thing. I was working on a guitar part for another song when I played the riff for this by accident. I dropped everything and made sure I had it recorded. I was…

My post-RPM Challenge plan is to just keep going. Here's my first March 2020 Challenge song. I am trying to go much more raw and low-fi than usual. One guitar straight into one amp. No doubling, not extensive overdubs. Same with the vocals…

This song is a bit of a mess, but I think I kinda like it. I have an unwritten rule during recording projects like this that I won't copy and paste sections of guitar tracks. If a song has two verses I will record the guitar parts for the verse…

May 2020 is the fourth straight month I've done an album in a month challenge (RPM Rules) and while I still have one more song in the pipeline, this one makes 10. Four months in a row... over 40 songs... probably a grand total of three riffs…

Not sure if this one is worthy of the 6:00 running time as it's not nearly that much of a prog epic. I think I over did the padding (unintentionally). I could have cut the break in the middle considerably, and the solo at the end could be cut…
