Im yet to address why the EP changed so drastically. The more I guess I could say dominant reason was that I just feel that the more soulful funkier songs i wrote just sounded more creative and had more substance behind them but secondly the musicians i was working with prior weren't able to fulfill what was expected of them also not having a blues rock vocalist to work with was also very limiting. However i am very pleased with the change and i still feel challenged by writing in a new genre of music that i enjoy listening to and creating.

So I will either have to purchase my own or request a right handed guitarist to play the parts I right for me

Over the past 2 weeks I have begun doing rough demos of the song I wish to write and record. Through doing this I have been able to obtain a clearer idea of what the tracks will sound like when completed. I have recorded these demos by using a audio interface and plugging my guitar into Logic Pro X for all guitar and bass parts and for the drum and any other parts i've used a midi keyboard to record
