I'm so happy that this video worked out the way it did. It's been bringing in a lot of outside traffic as well! Thank you all for the fantastic feedback during the process of making it. Being able to get a song out like this (and pay to have it professionally mixed/mastered) is all thanks to you guy...

Full version will be coming soon (this week). I want to add some violins in the emptier spots and I have to work on drum volumes/velocities as well as balancing guitar lead volumes. This song is damn fun though. Especially on bass. If I can manage it (and if you guys enjoy it enough), I can pay Sixt...

Hello again, my friends! Last week's video grew way faster than I ever expected. The average video on the channel will get about 5-6K views or so in the first 2 days. This one exceeded 10K and is at about 13K now. Thank you all for your feedback here and on discord throughout the making of the song ...

So what's happening this week? We're keeping it straight and simple. "How To: Make a J-Rock/Anime Intro Song (Season 3)" coming to uh...blu-ray this saturday. I have Sixteen in Mono mixing/mastering it, so it'll definitely be a fun one. Below this post, I included a really old demo I recorded for th...

Bam! One of my favorite songs I've written, mainly because it's in one of my own personal styles. I hope you all enjoyed this one as well (and the little April Fool's vid that came afterwords)!

Why is it exclusive, you ask? This song is a version recorded with the pedal from the review video. I want to re-record it in my own tones eventually, so I will not be releasing this one for purchase or download. You guys are the only ones getting it. Hope you enjoy it!

This week is a little different. Then again, a few videos have been different recently. It's kind of exciting. There will still be an original in this video, but I don't know if it'll be a full song or a sample yet. I'm gunning for a full song though. I'll explain why in a second.

Vote on a song from this month that you would like tabbed out. I will also consider top contenders to be tabbed out in the future, so there is always a possibility of your song happening, even if it wasn't the top vote!
P.S getting this poll to work was insane. I couldn't access the dro...

This was such an incredibly fun video to make. I was not expecting the amount of views and such positive feedback. I have a lot more fun ideas like this one in store, and now I'm more excited than ever to get them to you! Stay tuned!

SO this week, I will be doing a How-To on a special song of mine called "Imperfect". Some of you may have heard an old sample (or the BandCamp version) before, but I went ahead and re-recorded/improved on it. I might get Sixteen in Mono to mix and master it if I get the chance to do so. No one I sen...

The first is from the actual video. I could not pinpoint a genre for it, and neither could anyone else I sent it to. We just settled with "Dark Grunge". If you want to shoot any genre opinions, go ahead! Some of you might actually recognize this theme. "Imperfect" was a song I made a little while ba...

I meant to send these last night, but I ran into some technical difficulties. Anyways...here they are! My little experimental video where I turn sitcom themes into metal/j-rock themes is coming tomorrow! Here are the tracks so you can see how I changed (or butchered) them. Enjoy!
For those c...

I don't know how many times I'm going to say this, but this was definitely a favorite. It was a nice little change in style and it was completely inspired by my own video game plot, which makes it all the more special to me. I hope you all enjoyed it as well!

Alright! New plans are on their way. I want to get rewards out at more efficient times (as well as introduce new ones), guitar tabs being the main one. It takes awhile to make a guitar tab and it's not the most glamorous process. So I decided to come out with a system for them. At the end of every m...

Here it is! I threw in a "reverse" version. Most of it sounds kind of messy (because of some instruments and back up melodies) but I found the part at 2:15 to be kind of neat. I'm thinking of doing something with that in the future. Maybe switch around a few awkward notes here and there. I hope you ...

This was a tough one, but it was definitely worth it in the end. I hope you all enjoyed it! One of the songs this month will be tabbed out by the end of the month. If this one interests you, keep it in mind for the future poll!

SO what's happening this week? I'm changing up styles a little more. We've had our rock/metal songs and our synth/orchestra songs, and now we're gonna do a little mix of both! It's probably one of the most "different" songs I've made, and I'm really excited about putting this one out. The c...

I'm pretty excited about this one. It's a little different from other songs in the past, but that only makes me love it more. I just have to get the mixing down on it. I hope you enjoy this download for now! (Song name pending)

Ah yes, the usual late Shady post. So what's on the menu? Well if everything works out, this week you'll be getting a "How To" for "Southern Metal". The name doesn't do it justice. It's a style I use quite often in my own originals. I love how the song came out, it's just a matter if Sixteen i...

Yep, it's a cover! It was really fun to do (and it was a good break). I hope you guys enjoy! This is "Ultimate Battle" from Dragon Ball Super!
P.S Expect a new original next week! It's very different (and I mean that in the best way possible).

This was a lot of fun, but also one of the most stressful songs I ever recorded (mainly due to the difficulty). I'm incredibly happy with how it came out (props to Sixteen In Mono for his amazing mixing) and it seems like others feel the same way. It's only been about 2 days and the video has exceed...

Alright! So this week will be a little more tame so I can get a little more time to come up with more originals and continue putting myself ahead of schedule. I'm going to take a risk and make a cover, but also have it done in my style as much as possible so it still feels like a How-To song. The so...

Hey, guys! Apologies about the silence. This week's song was a stressful one. I did it on my older 7 string guitar and the pick ups were a little muddy. Some technical difficulties came up with my laptop as well and I needed to get a new one and move everything over. Anyways, I thought I'd ...

This song had a lot of difficulties this week, which is why I'm only mentioning it now. Finally got it finished (and got it mastered by Sixteen in Mono! You can thank him for a video this week even being possible). The genre this time around is "Melodic Djent". It's done on a 7 string. It's also rea...
