I remember coming up with this progression last year. The C minor chord plays through out. I wanted to capture a certain feeling with this song, The statement " Not Anymore" really hits a part of me. It's really sad in a way. I feel that this song captures that sadness.

Not Anymore

Smiles for Miles 2023

Been a while since I have posted...  So here is a song of what it would sound like if a Pop Punk Band wrote a song for me.  Funtimes

Chef Salad Punk

Well I have always thought that the song by U2  , Where the Streets have No Names not only perhaps is one of the best songs ever written but also is one of the most powerful and motivating songs ever. When I hear the song I always think that it would be so fitting in a movie when the protagonist, after facing insurmountable odds set against him overcomes everything.  I think it would have to be included in a montage of some sort.  Anyway.  I recorded this song back in 2017 I believe.   I wanted to capture the passion and the absolute epicness of this song. I hope you enjoy it and inspires you to be awesome.

well I was inspired to make something of this song by a bit of a remix / cover of it. it is of course called Dead Mono... the original that is. it is from the end credits of a movie starring Shia LaBeouf. can't remember right now. but it was a good movie... basically guy meets girl ...guy rescues girl from abusive boyfriend who is in the mafia.. etc etc. hope you enjoy it.

Way back in 2020 I wrote the music for this song during the whole pandemic. I was in a massive amount change in my life.... as everyone was. I recorded this song initially for a song contest on a local radio station. It has sat in the vault to ever since then.until now.  it is good to finish things that you have started. Remember that.  I followed the basic melody that I had come up with 5 years ago... with certain embellishments.  The main solo section is a tip of the hat to the one and only Mr. Paul Gilbert for his godlike strings skipping capabilities. I recorded all the solo sections in about two and a half hours.. give or take. Again, I more or less followed the stringent Clint Eastwood directorial mode of operation. The first take is usually a keeper. 

Co-vindication

I recorded this song using seven different guitars for each section.....

The Magnificent Seven

I guess I could say I recorded this song probably back in 2017/2018. I was inspired by the halftime show by Prince during the super bowl. Prince was one of the most underrated guitarist / artist ever.  I hope this pays tribute to him.

Everything is borrowed.... not the most original title... LOL tried to cram as much molten metal goodness into 2 minutes. 

Devil Working Overtime

So in my humble opinion the movie starring Gary Oldman as the crooked cop in "Leon the Professional" is one of the greatest cinematic events of our time.  There are so many great lines that Gary Oldman's character, " Stanfield" utters.  One of them of course is, "I haven't got time for this Mickey Mouse Bullshit."
I hope you enjoy my little offering.
