So this was a simple Jazz thing I came up with. Been messing around a lot with my acoustic guitar lately and that gave birth to this song. Then recorded and mixed it in a few hours. Sometimes the music just flows!

A Summer Breeze

So once again coming in with a more acoustic vibe. This song is really a play on the Ruth and Boaz story. Of course I put my own spin on the tale. I'm in that period of waiting to find Ruth. Just thinking about those moments you might have. Trying to do everything I can to get ready for her to show up. 

Spent a good amount of time working on this one. Lot's of little musical nuggets of goodness. My singing is slowly getting a lot better. Was able to really back off the auto tune this time.

Hey Ruth

So this is a super guitar focused take on modern contemporary Christian/modern worship music. I made use of the common tropes and chord progressions that are everywhere in this genre. As a guitar player I wanted to add some flair to this style of music. I think having a slightly heavier guitar tone and the lack of keyboard/synth makes it stand out.

In Your Hand

So this is a hard rock riff I came up with. Love the amp I used on this one. Roland JC 40 2x10. distortion all the way, chorus in stereo. Huge sound coming from that amp. Custom p90 strat for rhythm tones. HSS strat for lead. Custom Rickenbacker bass for all bass stuff. Think this one turned out super well.

Tungsten

This is a tasty little funk track I came up with. Oddly enough did this one with a p90 in the neck single in the bridge tele. Also had some fun with the horns. Scott played a Kawai bass.  Got that chili pepper sound with it. Of course also had to add some tasty guitar work. Even used the QTron pedal and I must say, I really loved the sound I got with it.

Funk 51

So this was an interesting song to do. You could take it two ways. One is maybe a ex or a old friend. If they saw you right now would they recognize you? Would they not even know who you have become. Another would be, if salvation came today, would you be saved? Are you even worth saving? A interesting question...

Today

This is a hard rock track I did over the weekend. Using drop D tuning on a Tele. 5 string bass of course to accompany. Also using a 82 fender American strat on lead. For the amp model rocking a Roland cube 40w and I must say, some of the most underrated amps out there. Heavy track especially with the droning low D. Similar to bands like Billionaire or Kings X 90s era.

Rolling Thunder

This song is based off of one of my favorite chord shapes. Fmaj9/A basically a Fsus2 with the high E and Low A added. As for lyrics kind of went in a very neutral direction. Interpret it how you want. Mixed things up with the 6/8 time signature. Normally I'm always 4/4 but this was a good change of pace. Acoustic guitar again with some piano and electric guitar in the choruses.

Patience

The loss of a loved one is something you never get over. This song is about processing that grief and learning to deal with the world that is forever changed.

Without You

Let's Rock! I Know you know I know what you're thinking!

Better Late Than Never

I Know What Your Thinkin'

Two childhood friends back together creating music again. In the 80's we had a project called The Mark. Produced a few tracks while working in studios and with other bands. Life intervened... Fast forward into the pandemic and we reconnected and started to jam again. These are the first results. Stay tuned!
