Thanks so much to Equestria Daily for featuring me! http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/01/music-weather-factory-zap-apple-jam.html

Seriously, I want to thank all you brony musicians out there for inspiring me to take up music again. If it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't be doing this!

My first original fan music for the absolutely wonderful show that is MLP:FiM. After seeing "Family Appreciation Day", I couldn't help throwing down a guitar jam with this name. It was just too awesome to pass up, and I think it fits the Apple family well. Enjoy, fellow bronies!

Oh, my! Looking forward to more from you. This is incredibly catchy and memorable. Did you use any tunes from the pony show itself as a base, or was it fully original? If you did use any base tunes, they're either incredibly subtle or I'm incredibly oblivious.

@JebinZedalu Thanks so much :) I have some other songs in the works, but it may be awhile before I get them finished, as I keep myself busy with a full time job and also school.

This is about 95% original, the only thing I used (knowingly) from the show is the little lick on the end that is a lick that usually plays at the end of an Applejack scene. For example the "you're welcome!" in Applebuck Season. I just loved the name Zap Apple Jam and started improvising some licks that I felt fit.

This really captures the Apple family and young Granny Smith (Annie Smith?) really well! Great work. :)

@HeartmendSoar I'm glad people are getting that vibe from it :D  Thanks!

@Pyrobug0 Thanks a lot! I play a lot of different music, and this is definitely so much fun to play.

@Sonar009 Never did play that game, but it looks like a fun little platformer. Thanks!

@AspectOfTheStorm I have a Tascam US-800 usb audio interface to record with, and a Boss GT-8 for my effects. Depending on what I'm going for, I'll either mic my amp (Crate XT120R) or use my Boss pedal as the preamp and go direct in. Using Cubase LE5 as my DAW right now. Some amps sound good through direct input, others don't. If you don't have an audio interface, I'd highly recommend one for recording. Thanks for listening! :)
