This Week's Song (Free Early Download)

I made a cover of the new Super Smash Bros theme! I will probably upload it this Thursday instead of Friday. I may update it. But if I do, I will send it to you ASAP!

This Week's Songs (Downloads)

For context, check the last update. Here are the short songs! All done in various styles. I tried to be as cliche as possible with the "video game" name titles. 

"Gunshoot 7: The Bullet is You"...

Plans for this week and future plans (downloads coming next)

So this week's video is a strange one. A bit silly and ""funny", but it still has original music from myself. 5 short songs actually. Some of them are pretty different from what I usually do, but it's...

Guitar Tab Poll (May 2018) Get in here!

You know the drill. Vote on the song you want tabs for!

This Week's Song (Final Version)

Here it is: all mixed and mastered!

How To: Make a 2D RPG Battle Theme

One of my absolute favorites (inspired by my own dumb original game idea). Very riff heavy and just a bit different from other video game-style songs I've uploaded to youtube. I'm happy with all of th...

This Week's Song (Rough Version)

Unmixed and un-mastered. Sending it to Sixteen In Mono for a solid mix. But this is the rough idea version of my metal song done completely in the "Whole Tone" scale! It's a pretty weird one, but I ha...

Showtime! (Guitar Tabs) (How To: Anime Part 3)

They're finally here (right on the last day of the month. woo!) I hope you enjoy! New poll will be coming soon (possibly later today).

Plans for this week (tabs coming this week!)

Alright! So what's on the menu for this week? Well it turns out I'm having a bit of RIFF FEVER. Not just that, but I've been experimenting with new scales and seeing how they're implemented in both ba...

This Week's Song [Free Download] (Backing Track coming later)

Here it is! Try not to get into random IRL battles with it. (I hope you enjoy it!) 

How To: Make an Anime Outro Song (Season 3)

It seems like I say this every few weeks, but this is definitely a new favorite of mine. I have no idea where the inspiration came from, but I'm glad it came in the first place. I didn't realize how c...

Plans for this week (and future stuff)

This Week: I'm actually not incredibly sure. I have a few ideas, but I might just go with "How To: Make a 2D RPG Battle Theme". It's probably my favorite standard battle theme I've wr...

Future Song Sneak Peeks

NOTE: These ideas are incredibly rough and unfinished. Some parts will sound very plain. I figured I'd show you guys this mess here. It definitely has potential, but I have to find the right melodies ...

This Week's Song [Backing Track + Old Idea]

This Week's Song [Free Download]

Here it is. Definitely a new favorite. It's always the ones that I find myself recording in a single day lol! I hope you enjoy!

backing track and a rough old idea for this song are coming in just a ...

Exclusive Patron-Only Song (Free Download)

This is the commission I'm working on right now. I ended up getting extremely attached to it and now it's a new favorite (what a surprise, right). I was planning a heavy metal-type song for "How To: A...

Plans for this week! (+ Updates)

My break will be ending a little early. I can't say much, but I'm doing an anime intro commission for a youtuber with over 1 million subscribers and they plan to use it in their videos. I don't know w...

Small change of plans! [+ New Song Download]

The remaster of "Before the World Dies" could not be finished in time and I didn't want this week to go empty, so I mocked up a song in the span of about 2 hours. I'm actually going to title the video...

(This is for last week. There is no charge for this week's video) How To: Make a Post Hardcore Song

This song was one of the hardest for me to record, but nailing that tapping section was totally worth it. I'd like to think it makes up for the terrible video thumbnail. I hope you all enjoyed the vid...

Plans for this week (there will be no charge this week)

Hey guys! So as most of you know, I'm taking a bit of a break this week, so this Saturday will most likely feature a remaster of "Before the World Dies" from the "Final Boss" How-To! Because it's a re...

Tab Poll! Come on in. (April 2018)

Vote on the song you want tabs for. Plain and simple.

This Week's Song [Free Early Download]

Here it is! I hope you enjoy.

Plans for this week and next (Tab Poll coming next)

A little late this week again. The past 2 weeks have been way too busy, but I have "the goods" for you today, buds. This week will be "How-To: Make a Post-Hardcore Song (part 3)". It's one of the more...

"Sweet Pea" Guitar Tabs! Get em' while they're hot!

How To: Make a Video Game Field Theme

This was super fun to make, but that's probably because it brought back a bunch of old JRPG memories. I hope you all enjoyed it as well! I don't do happy/upbeat songs often, but it's always a treat to...

Mor Ardain (Rock Cover)

Probably my favorite cover I've ever done. Maybe it's biased because I'm kind of in love with Xenoblade Chronicles 2. EITHER WAY, I hope you enjoyed it! The views and feedback far exceeded my expectat...

This Week's Song [Free Download]

Here it is! I'm trying to see if I can get it mixed/mastered by Sixteen in Mono. If so, I will send you guys a copy ASAP! If he isn't able to, I may or may not revise this version a little before it g...

Weekly update (song download coming next)

I was a little quiet this week. I had writer's block up until yesterday, but I ended up making 2 really fun songs! This week will be a "How To" original on Video game field themes! Groovy vibes, an ac...
