    Tales of a Musician - I trust people less and less with each passing DM

    I'm back with another tale... My enthusiasm for writing music is still there, even after all these years. Especially this year when I am creating a Doom-inspired album in honor of Doom turning 30 years old. And yes, I am talking inspired by both the original OST and Mick Gordon :LOL:. I've...

    What I learned in 1 year of making music

    So this is going to be a long thread but bear with me, it's at least going to be a fun read if nothing more :)). So at the beginning of 2021, I decided to fully focus on making music. And a year or so later, I figured it's a good checkpoint to share some of the things I've learned as I make...

    Food for thought about music production

    I think in the realm of "I took that personally memes" comes this discussion. So I was watching some Rick Beato clips which I sort of agree with and disagree with. It's about how computers destroyed rock music because everything is quantized to the 16th beat. Quantizing is basically the...

    Songs that changed your life or helped you through tough times

    So while I continuously delay my next installment in Music Theory Requests because I suck in front of a camera, I have a bit of a different question for you all. What song or songs kind of changed your life for the better? Every one of us probably has at least one song they can safely say...

    Revelations of the CAGED system

    So I have decided to re-incorporate daily guitar practice since I feel I am getting stale at melodies and stuff. And I started with doing the 7 positions of the major scale which are fine, but for some reason, I am unable to link that well between forms. However, everything seems to fall into...
