Back in college I recorded a bunch of music for fun and to improve my guitar playing and singing. The singing didn’t improve much, but the guitar playing did. Many of the clips haven’t aged well and I discarded the ones that even I can’t listen to anymore. What’s left are a few short clips of music that I made, sometimes with good friends, that I still enjoy listening too now and again. Occasionally I’ll post newer music as well.

Rhythm Guitar Practice Track
