I Don't Know

Poppies

Time once again to write complete songs within a week as a challenge!

Let's Go

Not Like That

Super Massive

Fail Whale

In Arms

The Time is Now

Close Call

Song idea fleshed out from some riffs inspired by a newly acquired tenor guitar tuned to Chicago Tenor tuning (D,G,B,E).

Old Road

Originally posted on my other Soundcloud account but fits in better over here. I went 80s power ballad for this track, which was a homework assignment by my guitar instructor to write a tune in D Mixolydian. Recorded direct and all VST- guitar/bass: BIAS FX, keyboards: Korg M1, drums: EZ Drummer.

Song a Week Challenge - Week 3

Song a Week Challenge entry for Week #4! This week's song is a Ratt & Roll inspired tune. Pretty happy with this one overall. First half of the solo came quickly but the backend was a struggle.

Song a Week Challenge Week #08

This week's track is inspired by 70s / early 80s album rock like Fastway or Airbourne. Track is rooted in A Minor Pentatonic. Dig!

El Diablo

This week's offering in A Mixolydian. Oddly enough, the main riff is actually the same notes & position as the intro riff from my previous song (SAWC #5). Kind of ran out of gas with this one. Started nice out of the gate but felt boxed in. Fingers really hurt after writing my way out of this one. On to the next!...

Song a Week Challenge #6

This song came together quickly- under 24 hours. It started with the keyboard idea and I just used guitar to supplement the song rather than be the foundation. I struggled with finding the correct scale to use for the solo. Ended up using C BeBop!

Tension

This week's song. The progression and synth layers came together quickly but I struggled finding the right key & mode to solo over with. Thought I had it- then it turned out I was wrong but I spent some time in my lesson with my instructor and got back on track. Cheers.

In Dreams

World's okayest guitar player. Still learning. Unabashed lover of all 80s metal genres. Also wanting to make it a go with jazz / boogaloo jazz.
