How's that for some word salad, eh? Throw a little Italian dressing on this one and you've got yourself a healthy meal! I've been trying to challenge myself vocally with more complicated melodies and lots of lyrics and things like that, even…

A couple of months ago I came up with a couple of things that used polyrhythms. The drums were in one time signature and everything else was in another. I had some fun with it then and tried it again and... well, I got pretty bored with it really…

I don't like the rhythm guitars on this one. I had both pickups on and now I wish I just had the bridge pickup. It would have been toppier and less muddy. Finally a song that is about something specific, even if it doesn't make much sense…

I'm really tired right now so this mix might sound awful and I won't know. Also, 50/90 might be hitting a snag in that I have a bit of an injury to my left hand. It's not getting better and while recording the leads on this puppy it was affecting…

A couple of unusual things with this one. There's an overdrive pedal in there that I've never used before. Meaning, I had never even plugged it in before. I bought it like six months ago and it sat on my dresser just waiting for me to play…

Not the worst song I've ever pieced together, but far from the best. I'll file this one under: Meh. Gibson ES335 into a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The rhythm guitars used a Ryra the Klone and a Wren and Cuff Super Russian, and…

I may need to remix this. I ended up mixing it at very low volume with an ancient pair of Apple ear pods. It might sound like cow dung for all I know. I like this. It's kinda funky and it was fun to play. I like how I ended up with harmony…

I kinda like this one. The melody in the hook is kinda fun, and having the guitar play a melody of its own was something fun that I don't do often. The lyrics are stream of conscious garbage, meaning they are probably about the idiot in the…

A not-so-terrible groove kinda falls flat. I've never said this before, and I doubt I'll ever say this again, but maybe the melody should have been written higher? I don't think a key change would do it, just a melody that sits a little higher…
