Robert James's listening history
I don't like this one. There are no redeeming qualities here at all.
Except for the last three bars.
There was one rhythm guitar here but it was played through two amplifiers. The right speaker is a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The left is…

I like the melody on this one, and the vocal harmonies work pretty well. It could have benefitted from a competent singer, but I didn't do too much harm. Back in February during the RPM Challenge/FAWM I did a lot of messing with GarageBand percussionists…

74 beats per minute. I don't consciously write music in the 70-75 bpm range, but somehow it just always... happens... to... me. It's like my binky. It's like my happy place. There's another personal cliche here too. Back in the early 90's…

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.
All of the guitar parts are a…

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 put delays…

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

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?
