Description: As usual, a raw recording of a riff that I come across and thought positively about. I used my DeLonge Squier and RP155 pedal for the heavy distortion. I think it sounds pretty good considering the set of old computer speakers I used as an amp.

The Pit

I've wanted to redo my cover of this song for a long time. the original never sounded that good. I finally got around to doing it. 

It's no good

This One's On Me

It is what it is. I actually had no beer, no cigarettes, no woman around (for circumstances left unsaid), and not a penny to my name to acquire the goods at time of recording. So I started to sing out of frustration as a joke with no intent to go past the first couple of unrehearsed, Eminem-like inspired and instantly made up as I go lyrics when I hit a point early on where I decided that maybe sometimes really bad turns out to sound really good. Uh, like, so I just kept on singing and playing because I was already recording. Well, the really good never came. And although I will sing like a bird on stage in any given bar, I have never ever (knowing) recorded myself singing. I hate my voice. And this is why.

Along For The Ride

Hi. My name is Joe. Some people call me Joey G. and to some I'm STRANGER4LIFE, (S4L for short). The S4L thing was a screen name from years ago that just kind of stuck. And I kinda like it so I decided to keep it. 

What am I doing here? Well, I stumbled across Soundcloud a few years back. I was looking for a way to record myself playing guitar so I could track my progression. I hadn't picked up a guitar for over 15 years at that point. I put it down when I got to college. I brought it along with good intentions but I quickly learned that playing football and playing guitar was a challenge I did not anticipate. Between the lack of free time and the daily mashing and mangling of my fingers playing ball, well, you get the picture.

Fast forward a decade and a half. No more football. Lots of free time. One day I'm out in the garage and there's my guitar case. How'd that get out here? Who put my Strat outside?!? (My wife) And more importantly, why?!? (No respect for my things)So I thought, I'll show her! From that day forward I was on a mission to teach myself how to play. Again. Again? Well, maybe not again. But considering all I ever really knew was how to play a few chords that a buddy had shown me when I was in High School, yeah, I had a LOT to learn. 

Slowly, but surely, I made progress. Atleast I think I got better. I still don't know "theory" and I still need to use an electronic tuner before I play. But, hey. I'm having fun! And every now and then I actually catch myself and record something half decent. Those are the public tracks that some people actually listen to, like, and even download for future listening!
