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? ๐ค๐ญ

THE. AMOUNT. OF. REQUESTS... for this song. ๐
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. โค๏ธ

Hey all,
Just checking in to say hello and that I love you guys. โค๏ธ
I wanted to update you on whatโs going on lately. SO I just got back from LA on Sunday. I performed as a guest for a sold out show in Hollywood for 5000 people with Adventure Club. Easily one of the highlights of my life so far! Itโs thanks to you guys being on this journey with me, that affords me these types of life changing opportunities. ๐
Due to my amount ...

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. โค๏ธ
PS: Patron rewards come out on March 2/3 :)

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. :)

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. โฅ๏ธ
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 early premiere of my brand new original song HOME. ๐๐ฅ
