I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since I made this recording.. Found this on an old hard drive earlier today - it’s an acoustic guitar / vocal cover of one of my favorite Big Wreck songs called Blown Wide Open - ig only allows a 1:00 video so just an excerpt here, and it kinda chops the top of my head off for most of it, and the overall tone of the audio is a little crispy bc it’s an iPhone video of a video playing on my computer monitor.. but yea, just wanted to throw this out there in honor of one of my favorite bands - ya’ll should go check em out of you don’t know them already.. thanks for listening 🙏😬 #bigwreck #ianthornley #tonybonelli #mode4music #mode4musicstudios #blownwideopen #canibeinyourband #producer #protools #lydian #capecod #hyannis #barnstable #letmetourwithyou #subliminalhashtags (at Brewster, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzFfwL4nP50/?igshid=1x8g983wz23zs

Here’s a fun little tune I put together called “Trippin’ Cowboy” - it’s pretty tough to play and I hadn’t practiced it in a long time so it’s a little sloppy but hopefully you get the idea - The first riff i created way back a couple decades ago and it’s a 3 measure cycle of triplet based 5/4 with some pretty wack chord juxtapositions including one chord arpeggiation that boasts a minor 3rd to major 3rd hammer on preceding an augmented 5th sounding particularly looney.. and the second part I came up with just a couple years ago when I made this recording and it’s a chromatic line with linear 3rd harmony an octave higher accompanied by a common open string ringing throughout the movement in a slightly odd 11/4 time (also triplet based).. pretty neat stuff for all the music nerds out there contrasted by such a silly sounding context.. So it’s a little dissonant and I’m a little tightlipped as I struggle through a mediocre performance here but maybe worth a listen if you’ve got a minute.. #tonybonelli #mode4musicstudios #musiclessons #capecod #hyannis #capecodmusiclessons #guitarlessons #musictheory #songwriting #producer #protools #musicnerd (at Barnstable, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByzAN8wHOOP/?igshid=vjik9nfh7zq
