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

Jesus. Finally getting over my week long nightmare of upgrading to Apple's new Mojave OS, realizing that ProTools can't run with it, and then the gigantic mess of going down to Yosemite, only to upgrade up to High Sierra. I had to download ALL of my apps, plugins, and programs from scratch. I'm almost back to normal! This episode is a gigantic warning for you guys. Learn from my mistake - always make 1000% sure you are ready to upgrade your OS. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Thank you for listening to my podcast and checking out my music. It's the reason I keep going. Love you guys, rock on and happy Thanksgiving! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Check this out - remember that I track I posted called Terrene a couple weeks back? One of the drummers I reached out to finally sent me something back! Daniel Fasano (IG @dnlfsn) did a killer job with this one! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

I learned this the hard way - Avid (ProTools) is not compatible with Mojave! Keep your Yosemite/Capitan/High Sierra Operating System. What a nightmare! Had to share this with you guys. Carry on! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

This is my 2nd time doing this, and I'll tell you how! Examples included with some Tool songs :) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support
