I wanted to update this blog before we enter December so here I am, frantically typing away on a Monday night lol. It’s been a while!! I was just generally in a slump for the past several weeks and I wasn’t in any mental headspace to record myself, much less update this blog.. I also didn’t have the drive to pursue any pieces properly, as evidenced by the last couple of posts here (we’ll call them hit and runs).

But here I am with “Shadowlord” from the Nier series, which I haven’t played (what’s new). I’ve already learned the whole piece so I think the next video will also be the last for this one. Anyway, we’re back to my roots with this one: dark, dramatic, and bittersweet. It’s a pretty rough take by my standards, but I’ve already made so much progress that I wanted to get a recording up (from two days ago) before I polished it any further.
