This is "THE" track, the Holy Grail of songs. For me, there's life before I heard (sic) and than life afterwards. This song had a direct effect of the type of music I listened to and especially me wanting to play guitar literally the moment I heard it. I was blown away. I cant believe its taken me over 16 years to learn this song!

-This is my first soundcloud page that I created. However, I have so many songs to upload that I had to start another page because I have reached my time limit. Check out my other soundcloud page and youtube page. I have created links to both of them! 

-All these particular songs are a one man show! I write, record and produce all my own songs at home. For the drums I use Addictive Drums, and for Guitar I D/I right into my computer through a Mackie Onyx Satellite. From there I run Samplitube as my DAW software and depending on my mood, I can either mic up my Rivera Knucklehead Tre with a SM-57, or more likely than not, I use Amplitube 3.0. Every song on this site is using Amplitube. I have not mic'ed up my own amp outside of band practice in about 4 years. The convince of digital recording is just too good and it sounds great too! For every song on here except for my acoustic (I mic'ed that up and do a D/I) it is a straight line from the guitar into my interface into the computer. No pedal board, rack effect, nothing! Just a straight signal and I handle everything within Amplitube.  

This is my second soundcloud page because I have so many songs to upload. Check out my other page too and my youtube page.
