I only recently got into CBGs (cigar box guitars), and the main riff is one of the very first riffs completely inspired by the sound of the instrument. In fact, I recorded my first session using a CBG for fun, and included a piece of that recording as the intro to this track to keep a very raw experience/sound in the music. The video contains many of my favorite inspirational quotes from the artists who've inspired me most throughout my life as a musician.

Cigar Boxing

Written and recorded on a classical acoustic guitar, Straight Flush explores a more acoustic/flamenco sound with chords my father used to play around the house when I was a little Banjiboi. It was a lot of fun creating the little vocal harmony from a sample pack from the extremely talented, Serj Tankian, of System of a Down. Growing up in various metal bands, we got to be friends of Serj and the rest of the band, so working with his vocals on this was a lot of fun and brought back some great memories from the past.

This little finger-burner was inspired by the early blues licks from the band Clutch, specifically the Elephant Riders album, another band I was fortunate to play with in my earlier rock/metal years. It's also influenced by the talented Ricky Desktop viral Tik-Tok tracks, as well as other electronic producers. I wanted to up the bpm some and create and high-energy pumping track with a half-time drop.
