A little experiement I did at 3am back in 2005 when I first moved to my current locale.
Based on some grunge industrial trance I heard in Seattle one night, mixed with a little static and fuzz.
It's horrible, and VERY, VERY corny.

Really cool...
3am feels like the right hour for making experimental music!

I love what you did , frigg’n killer. I was just playing along with it acoustically, wish I had my strat plugged in. Would love to hear more and maybe collaborate.
Apparently I’m in cult now, someone here told me so.

Awesome playing. : )
Thanks for the compliment!
Never been to Seattle. I’m a freak from Frisco.
I was huge fan of Nirvana songs when I was in high school, many decades ago, and I only ever figured out how to play chords/rhythm on the guitar. I have almost no skill for lead guitar.
But once I got the bar chord structure down, then it becomes possible to play just about any chord, and it becomes easy to look up the chords for any pop song that strikes me, play the rhythm, and practice finding my voice…

It later occurred to me that the chords for Gods by New Jeans are very similar to the chords for Lounge Act by Nirvana. I decided to make that my next cover. It is probably the only Nirvana song I will try to cover. They are epic chord sequences. Main structures: B G C and E A G C for Lounge Act, vs, Bm G F# and Bm A Em F# for Gods. Plus a few other sequences too.

I hear it. Different chords, same kind of moody tension... Good stuff!
Here's my newest one... Something in the Treeline
This song was drawn from watching too many trail cam vids.

I love the sound of your latest!
I hope to post another cover soon. I have been practicing, and have now ravaged the side of my index finger raw playing so many bar chords.

I just can't imagine trail cams leading to that tune...
It was great!
I'm sharing this one with some friends!

Another cover I just recorded.
Superstar Punani by Sublime.

Old prophetic jam about selling You soul.
It is Butt Fiesta time.
Amusing coincidence today, stranger pulled up in his truck next to me as I’m walking, he said, Brad, right? I said no, I’m not Brad, musing to myself I had been practicing to record this song sung by the late great Bradley Nowell today.

There is some really good stuff in here, for sure. Nice to know I am not the only "out there" musician type on the boards. Here is my latest tune, and as usual, playing and recording everything on my own. I dabble in my little private home studio:
