2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 28 becomes finished song number 46. This one is okay. The chromatic thing almost works. It feels maybe a little forced. I don't know why I didn't come up with any vocal harmonies. It really feels empty…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 27 becomes finished song number 45. Did I... sort of... screw up and put a major third over a minor chord in the chorus? How did I not notice that until I was mixing the demo? What the hell, Robert…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 26 becomes finished song number 44. This is okay but sort of blah. The groove is okay and the melody is okay and really everything is okay, but it's not really doing much for me. Rhythm guitars are…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 45 becomes finished song number 43. I have a lot of songs that sound similar to a lot of other songs this year, and this one is no exception. It is, however, a song that I kinda like. If I decide to make…

50/90 Challenge song idea number 44 becomes finished song number 42. The 5/4 time signature feels a little forced but otherwise this one is okay. My 335's fret buzz at the second fret almost ruins the whole deal for me on this one. I need…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 46 becomes finished song number 41. I like this song though I am not sure why. The recording has some major problems, but I like the verses and I like quieter choruses in half time. It's all working for…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 43 becomes finished song number 40. This one is okay except for the buzzing at the second fret of my newly refretted Gibson ES-335 Pro. It seems to be getting worse and now I have to go figure out how to fix…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 41 becomes finished song number 39. I really like the chorus in this one. I think it's the two pick up notes leading into it that sold me on the whole thing. Really it sold me on the whole song. I wasn…

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…
