Obsessed with my new Mesa Boogie DC-5 and new Dimarzio pickups on my strat! God damn. Here's some straight improv. No pedals or mixing at all, just straight guitar into the amp. Thanks for listening! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Here are 2 originals that I played recently over the 4th of July weekend, just by myself with my acoustic. Working more on "honest vocals". The songs are off my 1st album "Soliloquy", the songs are "Subtlety In The Tone" and "Wildly I Seize You". Hope you enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

I'm so damn pumped to upgrade my electric rig. I'm getting new pickups on my strat, selling my Egnater Tweaker and getting a Mesa Boogie DC-5 Combo. Can't wait to have this killer duo. For my strat, I'm swapping out the stock single coils for Dimarzios. Super Distortion in the Bridge, and Dimarzio Areas in the middle and neck. Also getting my guitar shielded. No more of that annoying hum!!! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

I'm honored to have been interviewed by Niagara Moon a couple weeks ago. We had an awesome hour-long chat about all things music. I highly recommend checking out his podcast.

Here's a couple of raw covers I did outside in the park by house. Just a phone recording, but I've been working on doing some more honest singing. Focusing a lot more on the lyrics and the feeing of the song as opposed to pitch and technique. Let me know your thoughts! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Tuesday night was amazing - I rented out the First Church in Jamaica Plain here in Boston to lay down the acoustic, nylon, and lead vocal tracks for my next batch of songs I'm working on. Set up 2 mics: AT4040 about a foot from the guitar, and the Bluebird ranging between 2.5 feet to 5.5 feet. Natural reverb! Sounds so beautiful. I can't wait to edit and mix it, and share the sounds with you! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Can't wait to tell you guys how it goes! I'm planning on recording 6 songs (acoustic & nylon guitar, hopefully vocals) tonight at a local church here in Boston. So excited to produce this next set of songs. More info coming! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support
