Song idea number 10 becomes finished song number nine of 50 for the 2023 50/90 challenge. Nothing special here other than the time signature being 15/8. I want to play with time in ways other than the normal 7/8 and 5/4 this year, and here…

Song idea number 20 is finished song number eight of 50 for the 2023 50/90 challenge. I really like the vibe of this one, simple and basic with a cool groove, but I HATE the vocals. The melody, the lyrics, and most of all the performance…

This started out as song idea #3 and ends as finished mix 7 of 50. I like the chorus here though it is a bit overly wordy and hard difficult to sneak in breaths while singing. That's about all I like with this song though. It might be salvageable…

Song idea #19 is finished song 6 of 50 for the 2023 50/90 Challenge. It seems like every time I work on one of these projects and start thinking my mixes are too dry so I start adding more delay and reverb on the individual instruments there…

2023 50/90 Challenge idea #18 becomes completed mix number 5/50, which means we're 10% finished with this summer's project! WOOHOO! The song isn't terrible, I guess. It's not good either. It's kinda blah. Maybe heavy guitars might have…

Okay, another 50/90 Challenge song. This started out it's life as idea #17 and it now becomes finished mix number 4/50. Another song that feels like not-being-shit was in its grasp but it didn't quite get there. I think the dinky little wimp…

2023 50/90 song idea #9 becomes finished song number three of 50. I am 6% done with this summer's challenge! I like this one. It's short and sweet and terribly simple, and there are timing issues all over the place, but I dig it. All of…

Song idea #2 becomes finished song 2/50 for the 2023 50/90 challenge. I feel like this song is almost good. Not quite, but almost. It's like being a decent song was in it's grasp but it somehow fell short. The shitty mix and shittier lead…

2023 50/90 challenge song idea #1. One down, 49 to go. This isn't so much a song as an exercise. One of the things I want to play with this year is using time signatures I've never attempted before. This song is in 13/8 and there are timing…

I can't sing to save my life anymore. This was the first of 10 songs I started for a June 2023 Album in a Month project and it was the last song I finished. Probably because it is not good at all. All of the guitars are a Les Paul standard…

I really have lost whatever tiny amount of singing ability I used to have, right? Who knew that my vocal skills were dependent on not losing a ton of weight. I didn't see that coming. This is a rare example of a song that I like more after…

The next time you get an idea to experiment with 5/8 time........ don't. The rhythm guitar tracks are my Les Paul into an Analog Man King of Time into a Vox MV50. I think the leads are the same but I forgot to write it down on the Trello card…

This might have been the fastest mix I've ever been a part of. That might be because there's nothing really going on here. I probably should have raised the vocals a smidge though, but I am really down on my singing ability these days. All…

Not a very good song, especially not a very good mix. It's okay though. Well... except for the crap vocals. Guitars are all Les Paul Standard. Pedals are all Analog Man King of Tone. Amp on the rhythm tracks is a Vox MV50's direct output…

This is on the short list for my June 2023 Record Every Month Challenge submission, but I think the mix is going to make me go with something else this time. The song was purposely super easy, but I think I made it a smidge too busy in the mix…

I am hoping to finish the month of June 2023 with 10 new songs. Only one can be my submission for the Record Every Month Challenge. There are two candidates on the short list. This is one. I like this. There isn't much to it, I just like…

Another June 2023 song. I like this one. I embraced the funky and sort of didn't exactly fail. One rig was used for both lead and rhythm guitar tracks. My Les Paul Standard into an Analog Man King of Tone into a Vox MV50's cabinet sim line…

I like everything about this song except the mix, the vocals, the lyrics, the melody, the guitar leads, the rhythm guitar tracks, the overall guitar tones, the bass line, and the bass tone. The rhythm guitars are my Les Paul Standard into an…

Another song for the Record Every Month Challenge. I was hoping to do two songs per month (as in a single A side and B side). In June I am hoping to do a full 10 song album. I have half a month to go and still a lot of work to do. If I fail…

The Record Every Month Challenge asks us to record music every month. I failed in May. Well, I failed to finish any songs. I actually started 10 of them. I wanted to do an album in a month. Now it's June and I want to do another album in…
