Here's the audio for a solo guitar arrangement of one of my favorite pieces of music out a video game, the water levels of SNES Donkey Kong Country! The full video can be found on my Max Eve Music Youtube page!

Aquatic Ambiencce (Donkey Kong Fingerstyle Guitar)

Wanted to share this short but sweet cover!

Zelda Fairy Fountain

Here is a homemade instrumental mashup I made of 3 of my favorite Christmas tunes featuring the guitar. I hope it helps bring some holiday cheer to your day. Merry Christmas y'all \m/

Acoustic Christmas Carols

Some of the 1950's best! This is a wonderful finger-style guitar arrangement of Mr. Sandman that I recorded in one take. Check out the video on my "Max Eve Music" Youtube channel!

Mr. Sandman (solo guitar)

My favorite Beatles tune off the Yellow Submarine album!

 This is based on a solo finger-style guitar arrangement of the song, and for flavor I added a few other guitar tracks as well as organ and cellos. Enjoy!

Eleanor Rigby (Instrumental Cover)

Ready is track 6 off my 2019 album, Plethora, and expresses the subject of "Pain" along with track 5. It is written about the hardships of being an artist and the sometimes crippling self-doubt many of us must overcome to pursue our craft. The lyrics are very real to me and I hope the song speaks to you too!

Lyrics:

Isn’t it strange 
How we all count the days?
And we leave all the odd numbers out
And ain’t it weird 
How we all close our ears?
While we widen that space called our mouths

I think it’s odd 
How we are told to try our best but
The praise is reserved for first place
Is it okay that 
Some days I am afraid to
Wear all my thoughts on my face

‘Cause I
I’m ready to try
I’m ready to feel what it’s like
To live life without dimming the lights
I’m ready to learn
What you’re willing to show me
But only if you
Are ready too

And ain’t it weird
How our lives are lead by fear
To our instincts we all pay no mind
If a person’s words
Are weighed for threats they serve
Should I try to be more unkind

It’s funny how we like to 
Marvel at success of those 
Who fashion themselves with mistakes
I’d rather be the one
Who tried and has his life undone
Than bind my desires and wait

‘Cause I
I’m ready to cry
I’m ready to feel what it’s like
To live life without dimming the lights
I’m ready to learn
What you’re willing to show me
But only if you
Are ready too

Plethora

Ready

Tethered is track 8 of my "Plethora" LP, and explores the subject of love along with track 7 (Iron Wings). It is written about childhood lovers that became detached due to life's demands as they got older, but then rekindle. They find that by being together, they feel forever young and free.

Lyrics:

Do you remember that secret place?
A riverbed where beauty laid
And with those crystal eyes you persuaded me
To drown within your gaze

And then we tumbled into our lives
Tormented and chastised
It was often I’d recall your smile
Taking refuge in my mind

We sneak out our rooms just to see the moon
It’s much better with the windows open
Tried to walk slowly, so afraid to proceed
If not today than we’ll know when
We’re young
We’re still young
The worlds turning and we’re
Tethered in a moment in love
I’m in love
Let’s stay here, forever
Tethered in a moment of love

Do you remember when we were told
All that is good will remain gold
Well I still see now that you’re older
That brilliant gleam within your soul

Now I’m being told to be a man
Juggle obligation with demand
But my arms fail to support these plans
when neither gets to hold your hand

We sneak out our rooms just to see the moon
It’s much better with the windows open
Tried to walk slowly, so afraid to proceed
If not today than we’ll know when
We’re young
We’re still young
There went another moment

If we will it so, time will back down
Preserve what we had, what we found
What we found

We sneak out our rooms just to see the moon
It’s much better with the windows open
Tried to walk slowly, so afraid to proceed
If not today than we’ll know when
We’re young
We’re still young
The worlds turning and we’re
Tethered in a moment in love
I’m in love
Let’s stay here, forever
Tethered in a moment of love

Tethered

This is the title track off my 2019 album, and is the only instrumental song on the cd. This style of playing harkens back to my prog rock roots. With amazing collaborative work by pianist Corey Lennox and drummer Patrick Egan, this track quickly became some of my favorite work I've created.

I hope the thematic mood changes send your ears on an adventure!

This is a beautiful arrangement by James Bartholomew that I performed on acoustic with a single track. The video can be viewed on my Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/maxevemusic

White Christmas (Solo Acoustic Guitar)

One more acoustic fingerstyle arrangement for Xmas!

O Come, All Ye Faithful (Solo Acoustic Guitar)

I have always been fascinated with classical music and arrangements. This is something I composed to show a little of that passion. This tune consists of several different guitar tracks that build melodies and harmonies and a bass track as well.

The Mellow Brick Road

My acoustic adaptation of this amazing song off the 1980's movie soundtrack, An American Tail. This is performed with one single acoustic guitar track, and can be seen on video at youtube.com/c/maxevemusic

Original music by James Ingram and Linda Ronstadt

Somewhere Out There (Fingerstyle Guitar)

This is my own solo guitar arrangement of a beautiful and familiar tune from Disney's The Little Mermaid. It's performed in video at my Youtube channel in one take, which you can check out below. Hope you dig it!

Disney - Part of Your World (Fingerstyle Guitar)

One of the more recognizable pieces from the classical realm, this was a bit of a challenge to memorize on guitar but quite worth the effort! This is the audio pulled from a video performance, which can be veiwed on my Youtube channel here:
