I've finally done a thing. I've put my music from 2001 - 2017 on Bandcamp. It's home recorded. I'm not a great singer or musician. And the original 'releases' went to about 30 people. But despite my self-deprecation - I think there are a few cracking bits of songwriting in there. Of course, I wouldn't dream of charging people for the 'privilege', so fill your boots. https://plexigon.bandcamp.com/follow_me #Bandcamp #Music #Songwriting #Songs #BandcampFriday #Songwriter #Bass #Guitar #Prog #Indie

Export any iReal Pro song as MusicXML to open the full chart in your notation software. MusicXML carries the chart itself, the form, the structure, and the chord changes, rather than a recorded performance. Open the file in any notation app and you can keep working on the piece with everything already in place. It's especially handy when you've built a song in iReal Pro and want to write a melody over your changes. #iRealPro #MusicXML #MusicNotation #Songwriting #PracticeTips

Messing around these nights in the basement with open G tuning on the acoustics. Putting down some John Lee Hooker-ish shuffle tracks. Looks like I’m building a new song. #music #guitar #recording #songwriting

Finished my acoustic tribute song in honour of Glen Hansard. Recorded down in the basement. Guitars are a Takamine EF407 acoustic guitar in standard tuning (L), an Alvarez Artist 5014 acoustic guitar in Nashville high tuning (R) and a Fender Mustang Bass. Vocal mic is an Apex 550 FET. Interface was Scarlett 4i4 recorded in Tracktion Waveform DAW. 160 bpm. #music #guitar #recording #songwriting https://youtu.be/wIr2M4-g0C0

A viral country song called "Nettin' A Yahoo" about capturing a war criminal, throwing him in the back of a pickup, and driving to the airport for a rendition flight. It needs to include a dog, the love of a good woman, and maybe a cameo from the Cajun Navy. Todd Snider is on tour in heaven, so somebody else has to step up. #Nashville #CountryMusic #Songwriting #ICC

This Wednesday, I'm playing a set for the first time since gulp the pandemic. This is terrifying. Whose idea was this?!?

“She’s got a knack for telling stories, putting the lyrics together, and she doesn’t always have to rhyme. I do like her style. It’s atypical.” #Indigenous #FirstNations #music #songwriting #BC #Albertahttps://www.windspeaker.com/news/windspeaker-news/young-singersongwriter-launches-career-new-ep

So our friend @Wallflower@beige.party has been back on Masto a couple, two or three days and has updated us a bit here and there on what she's done while on her hiatus. Something she didn't mention though, is she did some voice acting! YES! I was able to convince Wallflower to lend her voice on a song I wrote for an annual songwriting challenge I participate in! Heeee! Is she a natural? No. Did she accept a little directorial guidance to help with that? Also no. Wallflower doesn't take well to being told what to do. Have I always loved hearing her voice and needed her to do this? Hard yes. I'm so grateful she agreed. Her part turned out so good. Our voice acting conversation adds so much to my stream of consciousness lyrics and ties them together really well. And what's really amazing is she's never done this before. She's never worked with the technology I was asking her to use and she was pushing against her comfort zone. The song is obviously fictional. It's about the things and people I encounter during a walk as I go to visit Wallflower. It presumably takes place in New York City where we live several blocks apart from each other. No names were changed to protect the guilty. 🤭 And so everyone, without further ado... the voice reveal of our friend, Wallflower. #Songwritinghttps://www.bandlab.com/post/742d2769-6164-4e62-b434-6918e5303a3c

The 4-chord trick that powers 80% of pop music: I - V - vi - IV In C major that's C - G - Am - F. Learn it once, play thousands of songs. Music theory doesn't have to be complicated. #musictheory #guitar #chords #songwriting

Here’s a screenshot of my new song ‘She’s An Island Girl’ in the Tracktion Waveform DAW. Seven tracks. Drums, rhythm guitar, solo keys, rhythm keys, bass, vocals and guitar solo. Yellow track is a blank song structure track to give me some reference building the song. Rhythm and solo guitar was Danelectro 59 through Strymon Iridium and Keeley compressor. Keys tracks were Dano through EHX B9 Organ Machine pedal and Keeley compressor. EHX B9 setting was classic rock with cranked modulation and percussive click. Vocal mic was Apex 550 FET condenser. #recording #guitar #songwriting #music #gearsquad
