Tool – Right In Two | GUITAR COVER

Hey everyone! We’re doing another cover video today, and a long one at that with Right In Two by Tool. This band became a very important part of my musical influence long ago after being introduced to them by my buddy Alex, with masterful control over experimental time signatures, poly-rhythms, atmosphere, and of course the fantastic drumming of Danny Carey. But we’re not drumming today, we’re focusing on Adam Jones and all his little nuances… Continue reading

Justin Strode – Forever Out of Time | GUITAR PLAYTHROUGH

Hello you beautiful people! We’re back again playing an original song called Forever Out of Time, taken off the album Burn. This is one of my favourite tunes to play, and when I was playing live gigs I would normally close out the set with this song. There’s something uplifting and energetic about it that just sits right in the ears and the mind that makes it really difficult to stand still. Hell, it was… Continue reading

Arch Enemy – Ravenous | GUITAR COVER

 Hello you beautiful people! Today we’re ripping through the song Ravenous, by Arch Enemy. This group definitely pushed me into the heavier regions of metal back in the day, along with groups like Death and Children of Bodom.

Might have to dive into their stuff again… Continue reading

Justin Strode – Beyond The Skyline | GUITAR PLAYTHROUGH

Hey everyone! Going back a bit again and sharing this video from a month ago, playing through Beyond The Skyline from my most recent album, Victims of Infinity. I know I said the next video was gonna be an Arch Enemy cover, but I just wanted to sneak this one in quickly. After this one I’ll be dropping down to Friday video uploads exclusively until things pick up a bit more. Now this one was… Continue reading

Justin Strode – Burn | GUITAR PLAYTHROUGH

Hey everyone! Another Friday has come upon us, so as tradition demands it’s time for a new video! Today I decided to rip through one of my originals from 2019, Burn, from the album of the same name. This is definitely one of the more upbeat songs I’ve written, with a much funkier vibe full of brass stuff going on, while still keeping that heavy melodic fun stuff going during the solo. I actually had… Continue reading

Justin Strode – A Place To Forget | ACOUSTIC PLAYTHROUGH

Hey everyone, we’re gonna be sliding back a bit to one of the earlier videos from a month ago, since I never bothered to post it here when originally uploading it. So, you know, here we are with an original song called A Place To Forget, taken off the EP Disaster Inverted. Opted to do this one on an acoustic, as it’s a much slower paced song, focusing more on ambience and emotional, err, stuff.… Continue reading
