Ready to take on the new year - here are my manifestations for 2019! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

This New Year’s Eve it feels like a continuation more than an onset of something new. Trudging on! Staying consistent is a skill we need to hone in on. Cheers to you guys! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

I’m incredibly excited to keep pushing this album - just got some new tools to add a lot more elements to the music. Listen up guys! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Going out of my element here! Did a collab with an amazing singer - Larissa Lambert. She did this cover of a new Ariana Grande song and sent it to me for some electric guitar doodles. Hope you dig it! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Got some amazing collaborations coming up! I highly recommend trying to find as many people to collab with as you can. It's amazing for building your network, and cross-pollinate fans at the same time! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Here's a song off my 2nd album "Rooster Illusion". Simply put, it was inspired directly from Life of Pi. Check it :) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

The new album is coming along very well, getting so damn excited to show it to you guys! Today I'm talking a bit about Static mixing and Automation, the latter being a CRUCIAL step I shamefully never took properly in my last album. Listen up! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

I recorded these 2 quick clips for my IG story last week - just a smooth guitar loop of A-Ha's "Take On Me" as well as my favorite moment in the solo of Pink Floyd's "Time" - enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

I wanna share 2 little snippets with you guys. They're changed around a bit, in that I've isolated some things here and there. But I'm excited to show you some cool guitar lines I have going on here! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

This one's about breaking up the rhythm in your process - on whatever it is your working on. Breaking up the cycle gives you new perspective, and that right there can really help with new ideas, and overall a newfound drive to push through. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Wrote this right before my Winter House excursion I had with some friends this past weekend. The chords are C#m - E9 - G. That G chord is the Tritone of C#m, which gives it so much color unusual space. Hope you dig it! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Man, have you ever noticed the beginning of that song? It sounds like a Tool song! I had to learn it and show you guys. I can't believe it's the intro to that pop song. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

This song was conceived from a pastel piece my girlfriend Erica made. I just made up this little dark story of someone's lover being taken by the ocean - and the unsettling feelings he has between worried and at ease about it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

It's been a huge headache trying to figure out how exactly to transfer a score from Finale Pro onto ProTools/Kontakt. Anyone have experience doing this? I'm not sure you can do it using Session Strings 2 - I'll be upgrading to Kontakt Ultimate so I'll have Session Strings PRO 2 soon! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Really been feeling this song this weekend! And finally learning the lyrics they've been singing all this time :D Hope you enjoy this little diddy! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

My man @Nazguitar (instagram) is having a contest giveaway because he just hit 10k followers. He's giving away a THR10 Amplifier to whoever does the most "interesting" interpretation of this track he made. Don't really need the amp but I hope he digs this! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Happy Wednesday guys - here's a hump day random little diddy called "Electrons". Whipped up this track using Kontakt (Analog Dreams, Battery) and just did some Fender Strat/Egnater improv over it. It's happy sounding. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Chromatic Exercises are one of the most effective ways to increase the trust between your fingers and the fretboard. This is an exercise I've been using for years - I highly recommend it! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support
