So, here's an oldie, live from the early to mid 90's a song I wrote when I was rhythm guitarist in a band called "Waskesu." we achieved moderate success and did a lot of touring and had fun, but ego's got big and I saw the writing on the wall so I quit and about 6 months later it imploded. The singer and one other person in the band tried to get me to sign over the rights to the songs I wrote and I told them to get fucked. now the song is being stolen by the other surviving band member, claiming he wrote it. what a world. lol.

For The People

so, here's another oldie but goodie live track from when I was in "waskesu" way back in the last century! I wrote 2 tracks that were really popular and kind of dark, versus the sort of Beatles vibe of the other songs that were written before I joined. People like the songs I wrote and it was a bit of a bone of contention in the band because I refused to sign over the rights to the songs and people loved them. haha. egos.

No Shoes On His Soul And For The People

so, I was once hell bent on dying before 50 and now that I'm older than 50 I'm okay with being around still, haha. I'm making up for lost time and bad choices and doing my best to be a better person, work for the community and have fun and rock out! This song is about changes like my father before me.

Ambient Demos

Like my father before me

A dark melody and powerful, triumphant chords brought this beast to life on my baritone guitar.

demonic demo daze

Tsyilx invaders

got to love it when you sit down and just start playing chords or a melody and something pops out of the ether, the cosmos and lands in your lap and hands into a song sketch.

something like that

so, this morning, in the noodling around on guitar trying to find a sketch or two, this chord progression and riff/melody thing popped up and I went for it. I called it "Holy Downer" as a play on Dio's "Holy Diver" not because of the album but I could sort of hear his voice over this kind of a song. I wasn't a big Dio fan, but I can appreciate the power of his voice and Black Sabbath with him was great.

holy downer

where I live is semi arid desert and vast and empty.

melodic desert wasteland

sometimes it takes 3 or 4 takes to nail a song sketch. this one took 4 and I was getting pissy. but it was worth it. after about 30 seconds I knew I had it and went with the groove and felt awesome as I was recording and playing guitar.

a demo from this morning, a little rough around the edges. good though. working on it today.

spider bounces

musician, artist, filmmaker, author and professional napper. these are guitar demos and song sketches. most are 1 take. down to collaborate and create new music as well as provide melodic stuff or heavy chugging, whatever people need I'm good to go!
