So I was goofing around today and came up with this little thing. It was just going to be guitar only, but then I decided to add the bass. After that I realized that it needed a solo to tie it together. I did everything in one take and improvised the solo so the whole song is pretty rough, heh.
I've been bummed out lately 'cause I don't have Mario Kart 8 yet so I figured the next best thing is to *play* some music from MK.
I think I'm going to come back to this one later and give it a proper rendition. It would sound cool with some easy drums under it and an actual premeditated guitar solo.
I'm still pretty green when it comes to soloing with a pick, as you can see. I'm getting there though. Also, please excuse that ridiculous bass solo at the end. I thought it was funny so I threw it in.
The other reason that I made this is I wanted an excuse to give you guys a quick update.
Firstly, I spent all of last week remastering all of my old tracks and compiling them into an album. I ran into a lot of technical problems with the mixing process (which I'll explain later), but overall it turned out pretty good. I submitted it to loudr.fm and it's currently being licensed. It's well over an hour of music and I'm going to sell it for $1 or pay what you want.
Secondly, I was in a pretty bad motorcycle crash on Sunday! Woohoo! I was riding dirt bikes with a friend and I ended up getting launched off the bike at about 30mph into gravel. I landed face first, but luckily I was wearing a helmet. I didn't sustain any permanent injuries, but I have multiple abrasions on my cornea in my right eye which left me mostly blind for a few days... Good times! The Dr said I would be completely fine in a week or so.
I might tell the story in a video later if you guys are interested. Haha, this is why I didn't show my face in this video.
As a result I'm going to be taking it a bit easy this month. I'm planning on starting work on an instrumental next week sometime then I'm doing a cover with "lyrics" by the end of the month. It's going to be a little different this time around though. It's a theme song from a popular gaming show on YouTube.
Also, I'm still planning on doing a little update/thank you/album release video sometime next week so keep an eye out for that.
...well if I don't chicken out that is.
