2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 38 becomes finished song number 38. These mixes are getting quicker and dirtier and sloppier the further along I get into this summer's 50 songs in 90 days challenge. Oh well. This one isn't awful…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 40 becomes finished song number 37. Where have I heard this one before? Oh yeah, it's alarmingly similar to the last song I posted (called Celebrate). The music for the two songs were written a few days…

2024 50/90 Challenge sing idea number 42 becomes finished song number 36. I like this one. I think I have written exactly the same riffs on multiple occasions, including the very next song I will post. That's okay though. I never claimed…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 20 becomes finished song number 35. Sorry about the spotty vocals. I don't really care for this one. The chorus might be okay, but overall it's kind of a dud. A dud with bad vocal pitch. The rhythm guitars…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 34 becomes finished song number 34. The worst vocal performance of my life, clearly. The worst song I've ever written? Quite possibly. Rhythm guitars: Les Paul Standard-> Klon KTR-> Fender Bassbreaker…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 37 becomes finished song number 33. This one ended up better than I thought it would, but it's not very good. Slow, long, boring. The chorus is marginally okay and I like the arpeggios in the first guitar…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 31 becomes finished song number 32. This is okay. Nothing to complain about except for a bad vocal note near the end of the first verse and the sneaking suspicion that I've written this exact song before…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 30 becomes finished song number 31. Meh. The melody in the chorus is okay but that's probably it. Rhythm guitars are my Les Paul Custom into an Analog Man King of Tone into both a Fender Bassbreaker 15 and…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 29 becomes finished song number 30. Let's say hypothetically that I were to take the best songs from this year's batch of 50 songs in 90 days and turn them into an album. Hypothetically speaking, and knowing…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 39 becomes finished song number 29. I wrote the vocal track on mic before I had recorded any guitars. It was just bass, drums, and vocals... and the melody is... weird. Either that or my voice just out of…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 22 becomes finished song number 28. Middle of the road. Not good or bad. Just kinda there. The chorus is okay. Not sure what I could do to improve it. The rhythm guitars are my Gibson SG into a Klon KTR…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 21 becomes finished song number 27. The never ending scheme to write a killer head banging rock song in 3/4 time. This probably isn't it, but it's a baby step closer to the rock goal. The rhythm guitars are…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 16 becomes finished song number 26. I just had two of my guitars refretted and one of them seems to have a shiny new buzz at the second fret. It's enough to make me not want to listen to this song anymore…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 9 becomes finished song number 25. I waffle on this one. I don't like it. Then I listen again and it's okay. Then I listen again and I like it. Then I listen again and I hate it. That probably averages…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 36 becomes finished song number 24. Two, two, two songs in one! I probably should have separated this into two files, given that the goal of the project is 50 songs and this one could have been two instead…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 35 becomes finished song number 23. I like this one. I especially like the chorus. I probably like it because I've written exactly this same chorus over 100 times throughout the years. I like the start…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 33 becomes finished song number 22. I am kind of a sucker for hyperactive songs in 7/8 time and this is a good example. I wrote the bass part first and sort of expected that I would not be able to play the…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 32 becomes finished song number 21. I like this one. Most of the ideas I've been crapping out this summer that are in a straight time signature have been weak, but this one is fun. I think I might want…

2024 50/90 idea number 24 becomes finished song number 20. 20 songs complete in 28 days. I would say I am on a good pace for finishing the 50 songs in 90 days challenge this year. It's also 20 songs finished within the month of July (July…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number eight becomes song number 19. Meh. All of the guitar tracks are my Les Paul Custom through both a Fender Bassbreaker 15 and a Vox MV50 Clean, both running direct out with onboard cabinet emulation. The pedals…
