EDIT: 'One' encounters major copyright issues for me, might be able to be resolved in the future. Recording Master of Puppets tonight!!
I'm planning on covering Metallica next and I have it narrowed down to 2 SONGS....
WHICH ONE SHOULD I PLAY? 🤔💭

THE. AMOUNT. OF. REQUESTS... for this song. 😂
It's actually the second song I heard from this band around 2007 for me. And it really got me deeper into this genre of music. I might do Metallica next!
I love you guys, and ENJOY. ❤️

One of my all-time favorite songs. The most challenging part of this was matching the incredible guitar tones that Paramore uses in the majority of the song while still adding my own personal flair.
LOVE YOU ALL AND THANK YOU. ❤️
PS: Patron rewards come out on March 2/3 :)

Little backing story... I had to learn and record this cover from start to finish (including video) in one day. I DON'T RECOMMEND IT. 😂I hope you guys all love how this one turned out. I've wanted to cover Dream Theater for such a LONG time and this one of my faves from Rock Band LOL. ❤️

I've been thinking about this forever and wanted to get it as a 'reward' to myself for taking the dive into original music last year. Everything went over so well with those songs it just felt right. :)

Thank you all for such an incredible year. Patreon has seriously changed my career in music so positively and allowed me to bring so many projects to life that I couldn't have done without it.

Thank you guys SO much for an incredible month!! Insane support on the music video for HOME.
I mentioned it at the end of the video but videos like that are exactly what Patreon is for. I'm so glad that I'm able to make those happen thanks to all of you guys. ♥️

2018-11-02 16:08:05 +0000 UTC View PostI"m curious! How many of you are musicians? Tell me if you are and comment what instrument you play :)
I want to use information from this to help improve future patron rewards!
This is definitely the most professional looking video I've ever done. I need to make a big point to say that videos like this would not be possible without you guys. ♥️
Doing videos with other artists in person is THE BEST. You vibe off of each other and get to rock out on a badass collab together and it's just SO rewarding.
I hope you all enjoy this ear...
