    My first show!

    I swear you’ll be the first one to get them! I’m trying to impress you here so I’ve been putting in extra practice time and hours making it sound as neat as I can get it.

    My first show!

    I finally booked my first show! I’ve been practicing a lot lately trying to get some of these videos made and they’re definitely still in the works. But I’ve got a lot more work ahead of me to make my first show a good one. I only get 15 minutes but I’m gonna make those 15 minutes count. I’ve...

    Recording a Cover

    So I’ve finally got a decent workspace set up to start recording. The only issue is that this will be my first time doing something like this on my own and I’m wondering if there’s anyone who would be willing to let me send some of my test videos to them to get some feedback about sound quality...

    Maintaining My Guitar

    So I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I’ve never actually learned how to properly maintain my equipment. I’ve always taken my guitar to a friends music store. But since I’ve started getting into playing live at some local spots I figured it would be a good idea for me to start learning since...

    Performing Live

    So I’ve recently made the decision to start playing some songs live and I’m wondering if there’s anything that might be a must have when it comes to equipment? I’m not expecting my first few shows to be perfect but I at least want the songs to sound good. I’ll be performing by myself and will be...

    My First concert

    Words can’t even begin to describe how awesome it was. I got us pretty good seats and when Godsmack came on we could feel the heat on our faces from the pyrotechnics! Not to mention how hard I fan girled over Asking Alexandria when they came out and Ben Bruce started shredding that solo on the...

    My First concert

    So finally caved and decided it was time that my wife and I experienced our first concert together. Neither of us have ever been to a concert before so I booked us tickets to Hog Fest in Milwaukee to see Godsmack, Asking Alexandria, Three Days Grace, Wage War, and Lilth Czar! I always thought my...

    Home Studio

    Thanks! I’m definitely not ready to start recording anything and putting it out there but it’s definitely something to help me practice and learn more about mixing songs 😁

    Drum Tracks

    Thanks for the advice I'll be on the look out for it. I'm just trying to get a feel for certain things. I'm finishing up my studio this month so I'm going to be spending a lot of time recording and getting used to cakewalk and I can already tell that the drums MIDI is going to take some getting...

    Drum Tracks

    So is there any where that I could find pre recorded drum tracks? I found a couple of websites where I could buy some tracks but I wanted to see what other people use. But lets say that I wanted to do a guitar cover of Before I Forget by Slipknot is there anywhere that I could find a drum track...

    Hardware/Software

    Looking to get a computer and some recording equipment to make a studio in my attic but I’m not sure what kind of computer I should get. I’m really just looking for a laptop that I can record my guitar tracks and vocals onto. I don’t have all of the money in the world to spend on a computer but...

    A much needed break

    So lately I haven't been active at all for at least the past month and even went as far as to cancel my legend membership (temporarily). This is because on September 9th at 11:50pm my son Mason Grey finally arrived in this world! This past month has been a very challenging but also rewarding...

    A NIGHT AT THE OPERA by Queen

    So glad this was finally brought up Queen has been a band I've listened to since I was 8 and was also introduced to me by my Dad. I even remember having one of those musical toothbrushes that played We Will Rock You when you brushed your teeth. An amazing band and one of the greatest of all time!

    KIMONO MY HOUSE by Sparks

    I loved this. I threw on this album when getting ready for the day and I loved how their songs had this way of blending together. I never even knew the songs were changing unless I picked up my phone. Like man this song sure is long but it's pretty good! Oh wait...😂
