I started playing guitar
in October of 2007. I found that recording my playing was a
great way to learn. This is just a temporary
site to store some guitar tunes I record on my
PC.

Shout at the Devil
(Motley Crue)
This is my second try with Ableton Live 7.
I'm starting to really like it. I like how I you
can really tweak the settings.

Whole Lot of Rosie (AC/DC)
This is my first attempt at using Ableton Live 7 (I had
been using Tracktion 3). I'm starting to like it but still a
lot to learn. I also used my Fender Tele that I bought
through an online classified ad. It rawwwks!.

Paranoid (Iron Maiden)
I thought this might be a fun little tune to learn ... and
it was! The solo even came out pretty good.

The Trooper (Iron Maiden)
This was a fun track. The riffs sound a lot
harder than they actually are. The solo actually came out
half decent
this time. The bass part was fun to play.

For Whom the Bell Tolls
(Metallica)
Good memories from this tune from when I was a kid growing
up. I always wanted to learn the song. The problem
is that I couldn't get the tone right and I got annoyed of recording
it, so here it is ... half baked.

Runnin With the Devil
(Van Halen)
I heard this tune on the radio so I figured I'd try to
learn
it. It wasn't too too bad.

You Really Got Me
(VanHalen)
I was due to try a bit of VanHalen so I picked one of my
favorite tunes. I like how Eddie throws in a some little
licks between riffs.

Indians (Anthrax)
Pretty much an unfinished song. I worked on it
during the two last nights and feel like moving to another tune.
It gets crazy fast and heavy in some parts. I
didn't know I could palm mute fast! I want to redo it again
later with a better tone and add the solo.

Purple Haze (Jimi Hendrix)
This was an interesting experience. Jimi uses
some real funky chords in the rythm section. One of my
favorite
effects is the Auto Wah stompbox. I got too much of it for
the
song; I couldn't find out how to tone it down. It still came out pretty
funky. I lost interest
about two thirds of the song, through the solo so I just improvised
some crap and
finished off the tune. Next Jimi tune I want to learn is Foxy
Lady.

I've always liked this song because of the riffs and the
solo. I figured I try to learn it.

This one took a little longer than usual. The
song has ALOT of transitions and changes in tempo.

Seek and Destroy
(Metallica)
I learned a lot of neat little tricks in Tracktion 3 while
playing with
this one. Stuff like copying filters from one track to another so they
are both edited the same. One thing's for sure, I still need to learn
to keep in time with fast beats.

Dimension (Wolfmother)
Just a little with some riffs from Dimension. I used my
"project" guitar. I installed some EMG active pickups last
weekend and wanted to try it in a song. I also used my $200
bass I bought right after Christmas. I like the first part.
I'll have to finish the song later, because I had a hard with
the drum part of the third riff section.

Among the Living (Anthrax)
I just got a few studio monitors. I was getting tired of
playing and mixing through headphones, which you're really not supposed
to do. This tune took more time to arrange because the drums
in Anthrax are pretty crazy. I had to figure out how to do
rolling toms and transition to a super fast drum beat. I
probably put about 3 1/2 hours into this one. The transitions
are a bit sloppy and the guitar tone I used had way too much
distortion, but I like the overall feel of the song.

Back in Black (AC/DC)
Just another tune. Threw in a little solo in it which makes
my ears bleed but hey' what can you do. Should have practiced
it more.

I Love Rock n Roll (John
Jett and the Black Hearts)
What a friggin' train wreck. I spent litterally 2 1/2 hours
Friday night trying to get the song right. The little lick is
what kept killing me ... I'd get one bang on then
screw up the following riff. Ugh. I ended
up spending about an hour tonight start to finish on the
song. I recorded the lick on a seperate track and did a
crappy bass line (including mistakes in the final edit). Move
on Jacko, move on.

Breaking the Law (Judas
Priest)
I decided to add a bass track to a song. It was a bit weird
at first but I got it down pretty good. I just used a clean
amp on XTLive and used my bridge pick up.

Iron Man (Black Sabbath)
I had real fun with this one tonight. I bought a microphone
today and did the "I am Iron Man" part in the intro.
I used a
Distortion pedal, Flanger and added some Mechanization in Goldwave
(audio editing software).
