2025 RPM Challenge song idea number 10 becomes finished song number six. Mmmmmm'okay? I guess? The rhythm guitar in your left speaker is a Gibson Les Paul Custom. The rhythm guitar in your right speaker is a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50…

2025 RPM Challenge song idea number 17 becomes finished song number two. Just playing with a bass loop and little fills on top of it. I saw this as sort of a throw away, but I find that I sort of like it for some reason. No electric guitars…

2025 RPM Challenge song idea number five becomes finished song number 11. I didn't even realize that song idea number five (literally the song's working title) was in 5/4 time. What a coincidence! Too bad the song wasn't better. It's kinda…

2025 RPM Challenge song idea number 14 becomes finished song number 10. This isn't so bad. I used the just-loop-the-bass gimmick and while that sometimes works for me, this time it just feels super repetitive. Not bad, just not very good…

2025 RPM Challenge song idea number 16 becomes finished song number nine. This one is decent. I wanted a little bit of a head banger on acoustic guitar. It works on that level. Rhythm guitars are a Takamine F-400 S 12-string into a Shure…
