2021 50/90 Song Number 43
This is actually my 53rd and likely final song idea for this year's 50/90 and I kinda like it. I mean it is kinda boring, what with what I laughingly referred to as a chorus just being eight bars of Emin7, and one…

2021 50/90 song number 40.
I am not sure what I was going for with this one, but I got it... whatever it was.
Lots of sauce on this. Delays all over the place, Dotted eighth note echo tricks, panning tricks, backwards tracks, pretty much…

2021 50/90 Song Number 39.
A little song about a girl named Jennifer.
This one came together lightning fast and I think it shows. As I was sitting here mixing it just now I came up with about 10 ideas to make it better and as a result it…

2021 50/90 Song Number 34
Groovy.
Or at least it would have been in more capable hands.
Another in a long list of "record this first idea that pops into your head when you plug in your guitar" songs. I wasn't planning on 5/4 time, but…

2021 50/90 Song Number 32
Another song with a haiku for each stanza. I was planning on doing this a lot this summer but I think there are only two or three. I still have time to add more but I probably won't. This is unique this year in…

2021 50/90 Challenge Song Number 27
You know what? I like this one a lot. I haven't done much of what you could call "hard rock" this summer, but this one might qualify. It's another in a growing line of songs in 3/4 time that are attempts…

2021 50/90 Challenge, song #2.
I started this at midnight on July 4, 2021. The very minute the 50/90 challenge started. I'm 90% sure I've used almost exactly the same melody before, and I'm 99.999% sure I've used exactly the same guitar and…

And the 2021 50/90 Challenge is underway. One down, 49 to go.
This one came quick and easy, which probably means I've written this entire song already but who cares. I like the chorus. I sing an arpeggio. It's almost like I took two years…

Another song for Quarantine Tunes Volume 50/90. I finished off the 2021 50/90 with a lot of crappy songs and a handful that I thought were worthy of a closer look. This one is fun. Nothing like bashing your head against some nice heavy rock…

Welcome to the fifth round of Quarantine Tunes. Volume five is now Volume 50/90 as it's going to be made up entirely of songs from the 2021 50/90 challenge. I'm looking at 10 but might cut it down to eight or nine. I haven't really decided…
