Goes public Monday!
mp3 is attached!
I felt like I wanted to do a Slayer tune after lovingly poking fun at them in my "30 songs" video. Truth is, I'm a big fan :)
The real challenge here was mimicking the solos during recording of the audio which was a very tedious process, Fluff helped out a ton by mixing it for me so my lack of technical mixing/mastering skills wouldn't slow me down or effect ...

And you guys get to hear them before anyone else :)
Videos for these should come out in the coming month or so.
I did a cello cover of Slayer's "Spill The Blood" and the theme for Nostalgia Critic.
Hope you guys enjoy, the mp3's are attached!

video goes public Monday
I get a lot of comments about people putting on my videos to study to, do work to, etc.
so here's a video made specifically for that. Open up a tab and let me jam away and play for you for the next half hour or so.
I very often do this on my own and I find improvising for extended periods of time to be really relaxing. Hopefully other people feel the ...

I found out that "Happy" by Pharrel (which I understand everyone has heard a million times by now) is at a bpm where one measure is 6 seconds. exactly one vine. So I made this :)
hope you enjoy!
this video was definitely a new challenge as I've never done something like this.
have a good one!

Video comes out on YouTube sometime soon. Not really sure when.
this was a response to a comment on my last video that challenged me to play 100 songs in a minute. But yea, I took it down to 30 haha.
I found out while doing this that I very rarely play cover songs and when I do they end up being TV theme songs from the early 2000's.
Hope you enjoy and thanks again!

Next video from Aldine!
It will be live on YouTube tomorrow and the mp3 will be on my next "Patron Only" post ;)
I drove around Lake Shore Drive in chicago to get the city shots and as well as many weird looks from fellow drivers who might think that I am pretending a tripod is my imaginary friend.
Hope you enjoy everybody,
I'm really proud of this song/video.
Have a good one :)

First track to have a video from the new album! :)
mp3 is attached and the video goes live tomorrow
Went out to Kenosha Wisconsin to film this one at a lovely public park I recently stumbled across. It was extremely Windy and luckily non of my equipment was thrown into the water, though the guitar had a very close call.
have a good one :)

Back when I posted "YouTuber Theme Songs" I joked about this video knowing that after mentioning it it would need to be done. So here it is, a song that has as many notes as WheezyWaiter has videos :)
which is a lot.
I'm happy to have Craig make a camera in it and he seemed astonished at how many notes were in this song. He's ma...

I would do chores, but bass!
mp3 downloads are attached and this video goes public on Monday :)
I also attached just the drum track so when the tab is out you could play along to it if you learn it! This is a fun one. Cats really wanted to be in the video too it seemed. So I let them have the spotlight as always.
They're such camera hogs.
Have a good one,

what a project this was.

This is a bearded demo of some of the equipment I've been using a ton recently. Fastback guitars sent me a pickup that's superb for manly metal, and Positive Grid makes apps that simulate amps and a ton of pedals on your phone.
fun stuff.
stay bearded!...
I mean,

Hey everyone :)
I recorded this song yesterday with my 12 string. It still doesn't have a name and I have no idea when or how I'll release it.
But you get to hear it before anyone else,
hope you enjoy!

7 song downloads on this one!
The video will go live tomorrow but is unlisted for my patrons now :)
I have made theme songs for other youtubers a bunch of times. But never in this level of quantity and low level of chances of them actually using them haha
have a good one everybody!

Hey guys!
So I was looking through an old hard drive today and I found a lot of unreleased tracks from way back when. I attached one I found especially interesting called "Very Happy." I had long since forgot about and for one reason or another it was never properly produced or released for my album "The Ride Home" in 2009.
Enjoy bonus schtuff!

I put together a video for my other 8 string song. I've been wanting to do this little visual illusion for some time so I'm excited to have a video out that features it. Playing on the ground like this and appearing to be comfortable was certainly a bigger challenge then I expected haha
Have a good one everybody!

I'm super duper excited about this one. It really says something to me when I've spent 3 days straight listening to the same song over and over and I see have the video on repeat. It doesn't happen often.
I think it's the collaboration of all these people that makes this one so fun. I know a...

I did something for Halloween and wasn't sure if I would do something for Christmas. Never been a huge fan of christmas carols...
But this idea hit me to do a backwards christmas carol and I had to do it. I think it's a pretty cool little video.

So way back when I was in high school I was in a band with my buddies Nick and Ken. We made really silly songs and this was one of our best. It's a song for France which basically does nothing but point out that baquettes, croissants and the eiffel tower exist. And also that pants aren't needed there, apparently.
enjoy the silliness you guys :)
