The working title for this song was “Rick Beato needs to put a damn sock in it and just go away already.” Not the catchiest of titles.

As time passes, I find myself in the age group where one starts to insist that new music isn’t good anymore, and I can’t abide that worldview, partly because I just don’t think it’s true, but also because committing to this belief tends to lead to a gradual closing of the mind, a loss of curiosity.

I refuse to become that guy. Young people might consume music differently, but they still care. The love for the art form is still real.

I tried to keep things a bit simpler this week, to avoid running out of time, as has been happening lately. I held down the fort with this one very slow chord progression, there’s a b-section that comes in a couple times, and the time signature switches to a 14/4 groove, subdivided 3-3-4-4.

(also note that the “guitar combined” stem is guitar left, guitar right, and guitar loud all bussed to one track for additional EQ, reverb and compression.)
