Most people end up here the same way: they watch a video on my YouTube channel, hear a backing track they want to play over, and go hunting for it. So before anything else — yes, it's here, and it's free.

I've spent the last while rebuilding this site so everything I make lives in one place instead of scattered around. Here's the quick tour of what you'll find.

## Backing Tracks

This is what most of you came for. Every track is one I recorded myself — live bass, programmed drums, and no guitar, so the whole thing is there for you to play over. They're all free to download. No sign-up wall, no email required, no catch.

There are tracks from Megadeth, Pantera, Blink 182, The Offspring, Black Sabbath, CKY and plenty more, and the list keeps growing.

Open any track and you get a player so you can hear it before you commit, a download button, and in most cases a link to the tab so you're not guessing at the notes. Hit download, drop it into your DAW or onto your phone, and you're off.

## Covers

Not everything here is a backing track. The covers are the full versions — guitar included — where I record every part myself. Same songs, but you get to hear the whole thing the way it's meant to sound. Handy if you want a reference while you're learning the track.

## Original Albums

Alongside the covers I write and record my own instrumental stuff, and it's up on all the usual streaming services. You can jump straight to a release from here if you want to hear what I sound like when the songs are my own.

## The Blog

When I'm not recording, I'm usually taking something apart. This is where I write up the guitar restores, gear repairs, and general studio tinkering — the kind of stuff I'd be doing anyway. If you like the behind-the-scenes side of it, it's all here.
