A year ago I was privileged enough to work with one of my favorite bands, Efterklang. They sent over the stems for "Raincoats" of the record Magic Chairs. After 6 months of work and 5 different versions I resolved to a final remix. Here is it:

New Exercises
I've decided to start producing more exercises to post on Youtube. I first polyrhythmic tapping video has gain enough attention that I figured it's about time for follow up with more. So here it is, another tapping video with the instructions included.

The Cavalry is done
Recently I've finished transcribing my piece for solo electric guitar. It took me quite some time and is going to be a nightmare for those who try to play it. Sorry, i'm not being arrogant...I just think the notational style is pretty complicated. At least it is for me!

Transcribing "The Cavalry"
I can honestly say that I don't remember writing this song. There are times that I return to it just to see if it's still contained in muscle memory only to find that when I look at my fingers as I'm playing I can't make it through the song. In those moments I look away and allow for my hands to remember them on their own, void of any interruption from myself. I'm considering reworking this so the structure changes a little but haven't quite nailed a final version. For that past 6 hours I've been plugging away on the computer with my guitar in hand attempting to transcribe this monster. I made my first attempt about 5 - 6 years ago and was nowhere near the musical wherewithal nor the notational competency to even scratch the surface. This version is looking pretty good and I wanted to post it a little taste of what I'm going to be wrapping up before delving into the unknown (to me) world of writing for brass and woodwinds.
