StrapGraphics Guitar Straps Review

I geek out about custom, well crafted made things. Objects where you can feel the quality, know it’s one of a kind, and that’ll last you a lifetime. The other thing that is of the utmost importance to me, is that the company I’m dealing with has great customer service.

StrapGraphics is a guitar strap manufacturer that’s been making straps in the U.S. since 2008. They’re based out of Portland, and offer a range of straps that are incredibly customizable. When I’m talking about great customer service, I’m talking about Nate from SG, who helped me along with the process, and was a breeze to deal with.

Between Daylight is now streaming!

My new single, Between Daylight has finally been released! You can stream it on all the major streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) or you could purchase it on iTunes or Bandcamp. I really hope you enjoy the new song, and keep an ear out for more music soon!

On June 3rd, I did an episode of Chasing Sound Live where I show you the main riff of the song, and a bunch of my favorite leads. You can check out that stream below.

Update: I just released the backing track version of this song for you to solo over. You can check out that version below. Have fun!

Chasing Sound Song Challenge - Week 4

Chasing Sound Song Challenge - Week 4

If you’re reading this post, congratulations! In the past 3 weeks we wrote rhythm and lead guitar, bass parts, maybe even keyboard parts and programmed drums. Last week we worked on recording our track, and now we get to the final week which is all about mixing and getting your song out into the world - this is exciting!

I want to talk about some of the trials and tribulations I’ve faced when mixing my own song, and some tips I’ve gathered over the past couple of decades of mixing music.

Let's Talk About Recording and Mixing!

Hopped on YouTube, Twitter, and for the first time, Twitch to talk about the Song Challenge's last week, and some of my tips and tricks for recording and mixing. Thanks to everyone who stopped in to the live streams!

I'd really appreciate it if you subscribe to me on YouTube and Twitch!

Chasing Sound Song Challenge - Week 2

Chasing Sound Song Challenge - Week 2

Welcome to week two of the Chasing Sound Song Challenge. Last week we focused on getting the basic idea of our song down, and I gave you some ideas on how to spark new song ideas. If you missed that post, you can check it out here.

This week we’re going to work on making sure our rhythm section is solid, and how to compose lead lines on top of our chord changes. I’ll show you some smart ways to get your song going quickly, and what pitfalls I ran into myself.

Chasing Sound Song Challenge - Week 1

Chasing Sound Song Challenge - Week 1

Welcome to week one of the Chasing Sound Song Challenge for 2023! If you’re not sure what the challenge is, recently in the Six String Sunday Club newsletter, I asked you to join me in writing, recording, and mixing just one song in the month of May. I’m going to share my progress with how it’s going, and I’d love you to share your progress too. I’ll be posting information about the challenge here, on Twitter, on YouTube and more!

Here’s how the weeks will work: Week One (this week) we’ll go over how to get the base structure of your song down (the “bones” of the song so to speak). Week Two we’ll work on getting lead lines, bass and drum parts done. For Week Three we’ll focus on recording the song, and adding any final elements (maybe keyboard, cowbell anyone?) Finally, Week Four will focus on how to mix your song and share it for people to listen to.
