  • Hi, here is an instrumental I recorded in 2012 when I was 14. I’m so glad i found it.
    I listen and I can tell exactly what i was listening to on every car big car journey to see an air display as our family are big fans of planes, helicopters and jets.
    Sadly i had very cheap microphones for the drums but it could be worse. I am so proud of the hi hat swing and enjoy hearing that I was playing like that on the hi hat at age 14… recently I was feeling like a phoney for attemptting fancy patterns from a funk style i wasn’t brought up but I’ve been trying since like 8 so it’s not a complete appropriation as i had recently feared.
    I keep trying to write vocals to it but my voice I feel spoils the track. So 12 years later…here it is still without vocals but i like it without.

      Thank you!! Are you talking about other rock artists or about the charts?
      I notice theres not much soloing or complex playing in rock currently which i think is what made rock enjoyable and have longevity and now its more like pop but played on guitar

    Delightful personal intro and smiles. Surely FLYING on this one. To produce a Powerhouse track at 14 - remarkable - plus showing already a work-ethic for perseverance (5th day).
    On first listen track immediately sounded fresh, confident and different - with short guitar phrases… variations … kicking drums and high hat. Then an added bonus - WAH-WAH looping-the-loop - and B-I-G F-I-N-I-S-H with Rotor blades turning?? 🚁🚁🚁 !!! Well structured - well done, 14 year-old, James. 🎸🥁👏👏👏👏

    Impressive at any age… but at 14 an order of magnitude beyond impressive.
