Quarantine Tunes Volume 6 will have the only two songs worth listening to (barely) from my botched 2009 RPM Challenge, and the only two songs worth listening to (barely) from my botched 2011 RPM Challenge. This is the first of the two 2011's…

Quarantine Tunes Volume 6 is one step closer to completion. Only two more songs after this one. Finally, right? A lame attempt at funky guitar. I like the song even if it's kind of a lame attempt at cool. Oh well. The arrangement is…

The unsuccessful RPM Challenge in 2009 had two songs that weren't disgustingly bad. I uploaded a version of one the other day. This is the other. Nothing really noteworthy here. I had a new harmony on the first chorus that I during the mix…

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. I…

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. The guitars are all Gibson ES-335 and the amps are all Fender Bassbreaker…

Another in an endless string of recordings that would have been saved by a competent singer. Maybe. I like the individual pieces of this song, but I don't think I like the song as a whole. Okay... maybe I don't like the chorus at all. I don…
