wrote some riffs with AJ, re-recorded it and got Nicola Tesla to help with mixing unt drumz

using a Caparison Dellinger 7 string (amazing guitar, and it's for sale! msg if interested) + axe fx ultra for guitars. Drums are all superior drummer


Co-Lab or ayyyy Shun

Ryu's Theme

Ken's Theme

this is what happens if I palm mute an open bar chord. The harmonics from the string touching the 1st fret are louder than the notes. Guitar used: Agile Septor Elite 827

fret buzz harmonics problem

Kinda mellow/kinda intense song I wrote via e-mails with my friend Josh (https://soundcloud.com/mjrhvze). It's stuck in unfinished demo limbo, just thought I'd share it as is cause I like the unpolished/lo-fi way it sounds. Vocals were recorded on an Ipod. 

Only named Rosebud cause that's the suburb I was in at the time. Not giving props to Citizen Kane or making floral metaphors. 

Rosebud

It keeps making weird noises. I think it might have something to do with my AxeFX being set to awesome >.< \m/

I think my guitar is broked

For no particular reason, I've spent months slowly learning Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata' (or Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor "Quasi una fantasia" for you fancy cufflink wearing folk) on guitar. It's not a technically difficult song to play, but it took months of repetition to commit the whole thing to memory. This got super tedious, so I decided to set myself further back by reworking it for an 8 string guitar. After many late nights wondering how many more minor triads my sanity could take, I finally got to the point of being able to play the entire song without experiencing too much self hatred for butchering a masterpiece. 

I decided to record it with a guitar I haven't touched in over a year, so of course it wasn't exactly in tune. I was about to tune it up to perfect 440 pitch, then it dawned on me the main thing that has put me off learning classical music; the genre comes with a totally anal obedience to following the rules and doing things the "proper" way. Not to mention you study for 8+ years to join a glorified cover band, but that's another tangent altogether. If my guitar wants to be in a weird tuning, who am I to argue with an inanimate object. Tradition is silly. I decided to go with it. The result is fairly eerie, and after hearing it played in tune a few thousand times, it's kinda refreshing to hear a different take on an overplayed relic.

Moonlight Sonata (8 string guitar variation)

One of them there fancy watchamacallit's I gone and done bout a year on yonder ago now with my very own vajiggle jaggle. Yessum.

Started as a sound test/attempt at stealing Danza fills. Ended up as a half baked tribute to Nora Fries, and also an audio hug for Josh Travis, who recently had an icy brush with death in a road accident. But because he's a guitar Batman, he decided to endure. Thanks Josh. I promise I'll stop stealing your riffs now.

Nora (Nooooorrrraaaaaaaaa)

I've been working on covers of this song for at least 3-4 years by now :S 
I started off recording everything on guitar. But there's so many different instruments & layers in the song, I could never create enough distinct guitar tones to separate the tracks from each other, so I was never happy with the result. 

I decided to go the opposite direction & make it as electronic/video game sounding as possible.

It's still a work in progress. I'll probably still be working on it in another 5 years. Just thought I'd share my progress >.<
