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

New Beginnings – Satriani Cover, YouTube and More…

Well hello there. It’s been a while. I’ve been a bit preoccupied with the dealings of life and the living, but it’s time to get back to work. Over the next few weeks there’s going to be some changes on the site here, some trimming of the fat and streamlining of things to help accommodate a somewhat new direction in efforts. Hopefully this will also mean more regular updates as I’ll be shifting focus onto… Continue reading

Embrace the Fire – New Single!

Surprise! I’ve just released a new single, Embrace the Fire! This one is chock full of funky slap bass, epic brass passages, and all the chaotic shredding one can dream about! I gotta say, this song was a lot of fun to create, but really painful on the hands, especially all the bass bits. It was also used as an experiment for some new mixing techniques I’ve been messing with, including reamping with multiple effects… Continue reading

Megalomaniac – New Album March 2018

So It’s been a bit since my last post, and there have been some changes and events since then. Let’s start out with some new music first. About a month ago I took up the Record Production Month challenge, where one is supposed to record and release an album in February. A few days ago I finished the project and released Megalomaniac! It was a fun little project and something that I feel a bit… Continue reading
