Aspirations - Jake Severson (Play-a-long)

Equipped with a santa hat, a wife beater, and pants quite possibly designed to fit a small child, I play my own song, "Aspirations." I have to admit, recording it was quite a bit easier than playing it in one run. I made this pretty difficult xD Not really in technicality standards, but I kinda have to count while I'm playing it which is still a bit difficult for me.

YOUTUBE VOCALISTS!!! Look down here :)

Okay, so I don't have a vocal part for this. But I think some crisp, powerful screams and vocal harmonies could really complement this song. If you're interested, let me know and we'll talk about it :) But I'm not looking for just screams, more of a melodic approach is what I'm looking for. But screams are definitely a good bonus :)

Also, I realize it's now february, and santa hats are not exactly in season, but I needed something to keep my hair from flying everywhere xD I really need to cut it.

EP in progress, aiming to have it finished sometime in August :)

sounds good, but a little random with the riffs. and some need to be slowed down to sound right.

@dinosawrgoezrawr048 There's nothing random about the riffs :(

@xixhellfirexix I wrote the drums in tuxguitar, exported the midi and ran it through EZDrummer with Paul. The guitar is actually in Drop A, simulating a drop tuned 7-string. The trem is not blocked, and it was a bitch setting it up xD
