Here's a very very rough/unmixed sample of that new jazzy/swing boss theme I'm working on. These are all scrap recordings to map out the general idea (some notes aren't even part of the scale) The entire song will be re-recorded and will have a lot more parts/sections added to it. But here's a basic...

Your support means the world to me, and the fact that you even considered it (for however long) really does mean a lot.

My new favorite original of the year. This has been a pretty amazing month for song writing, and I am more than glad that I got to share it with all of you. I hope you enjoyed!
2018-09-30 08:26:21 +0000 UTC View PostVote on the song you would like to see tabs of. Time to get back in gear!

Here it is. Enough of a favorite to actually be called "Reel Em' In". I hope you all enjoy! If things go well, I might throw this one to Mono for a remaster.
2018-09-29 07:37:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey, guys! I've got some more exciting originals on the way! I've been getting into this groovy guitar/"jazzy" vibe recently. Incorporating that style into different moods and atmospheres is proving to be a very fun experience! I'm taking another crack at it this week with "How To: Make a Jazzy Batt...
2018-09-26 08:44:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey hey! This is a really rough (one take) outline of the song I'll be recording for this week! I'll be changing the tones up, throwing in orchestra strings/possible brass, obviously better playing and mixing, etc. The chorus idea at 1:42 is not final (as you may be able to tell by the lack of a mel...

I didn't think my second favorite original would end up being created in the same month as the first. I'm so happy with how it came out (and incredibly happy with the feedback. It actually threw the channel back on youtube recommended). Hopefully the inspiration keeps on rolling from here on out. I ...
2018-09-22 11:00:22 +0000 UTC View PostHere it is! I tried going full metal on this one. Here's the original song for reference. I hope you enjoy the cover! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQFahNztn34
2018-09-22 10:56:53 +0000 UTC View PostI was going for a sad/ballad kind of theme this week, but I honestly think I can do a lot better with this style (especially with the main melody here. I could definitely make one that's a little more memorable. Or maybe I just need some time to let it sink in more). I also want to learn how to make...
2018-09-20 04:29:41 +0000 UTC View PostThey're finally here! I always recommend this, but check out a free program called "tux guitar". It can play the guitar pro files. It obviously wouldn't sound as good, but it still gets the job done. I hope you enjoy jamming along!

Two extremely fun videos that I put together this month. I was not expecting the level of success that they both received. I hope you guys enjoyed them as well! Got a new exciting original coming in a couple hours (if you haven't downloaded it early), so look forward to that! As I said, the first we...
2018-09-15 08:54:55 +0000 UTC View PostIt is done! I may or may not make some changes to it tomorrow. If I do, I will send you guys the new version ASAP! I hope you enjoy!
2018-09-14 08:40:18 +0000 UTC View PostJust some notes:
- This is just a rough outline, everything will be re-recorded and some tones will be completely different.
- The mix might be a little quiet
- I know I say this a lot. Maybe it's because my writer's block ended, but I am absolutely loving the idea of this song so far....
2018-09-12 03:29:46 +0000 UTC View PostHey, guys! This week will have an original rock/metal song in the "How-To format". Debating between straight up "punk" or "emo". The emo one would be both comedic and serious. I might save that one for later, because I might want a vocalist on it. I thought it'd be fun to make a song about how cring...
2018-09-11 07:09:24 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the most complicated covers I've had to figure out, but the end was pretty damn rewarding. I hope you guys enjoy!
2018-09-08 10:24:58 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone! Thank you for all of your amazing support recently. It really does mean a lot. I figured I would give out an update to let everyone (especially the new Patrons) know what's been going on and what they can expect! + I'll be sharing some future ideas with you

2018-09-04 09:23:10 +0000 UTC View PostHey, guys! Just a quick update on some ideas coming your way. This week (as I teased last week) will be "How To: Make a Final Boss Theme (Phase 2)". Thank you for all of your feedback on the new track. I can still say without a doubt that it is my favorite song I've written this year.
As for futur...
2018-08-31 08:41:18 +0000 UTC View PostHere it is! My favorite song this year and I am loving how it came out. I need your help though (if you have the time). Let me know if there is anything you don't like. Let me know which version you like more. If you guys think it needs work, I can delay the video until next week (although that mean...
2018-08-25 03:39:41 +0000 UTC View PostI haven't been this excited or happy about an original of mine since "Here I Come" from late last year. If this is a sign of my writer's block ending, it's a damn happy sign. Here's the un-mixed/un-mastered version. Sending it to Sixteen in Mono to up that quality, but I was too excited to keep it f...

One of the stranger songs I've made, but it was damn fun to put together. It's always refreshing to give the guitar writing a little break as well. I hope you all enjoyed!
2018-08-22 08:15:09 +0000 UTC View PostVery exciting stuff, friends! I'll make this one short. This week will likely be a cover if I can't finish my new original in time. It'll either be from

2018-08-22 08:11:08 +0000 UTC View PostI say this way too much, but this song is now among my all-time favorites. It's so fun making these synth tracks!
2018-08-18 04:32:20 +0000 UTC View Post
People have requested this one for awhile, and I've been wanting to do it ever since I wrote the original! What a fun and relaxing project this turned out to be :) It definitely helped get the creative juices flowing (so expect some more j-rock stuff very soon!). I hope you all enjoyed!
2018-08-16 08:34:39 +0000 UTC View PostSo to make this quick for all the newcomers, this has been an incredibly busy month (there are currently 9 people staying here, which has been making it slightly more difficult to do music work). They will be leaving soon though, so expect regular updates afterwards!
But with that being said, I ha...
2018-08-16 08:30:49 +0000 UTC View PostIt is done! Now I have to find somewhere outdoors to record the video. Pretty exciting! I hope you enjoy the song :)
Feel free to give feedback on the quality of the song! I might be able to make some more finishing touches before saturday.
2018-08-09 02:22:50 +0000 UTC View PostI've been wanting to make an acoustic version of "We're All Gonna Be Stars" (How To: Make an Anime Song Part 1) for the longest time now. I love how it's going so far. Unfortunately, this is as far as I can get tonight. To make a long story incredibly short, I have 8 people staying in this small apa...

I don't think I ever wrote a song in this scale before! And I got to write it in a very strange tuning :'D It was a fun challenge, nonetheless. I hope you all enjoyed it!
