Here it is, an acoustic demo of a brand new song, Enlighten Me:

I plan to make a more rockin’ version eventually, so stay tuned.  I would love to hear what you think!

In the Earbuds: Revolution Radio by Green Day

Green Day is a household name in the “alternative rock” world (whatever “alternative” means) almost 30 years into their career.  What person learning guitar hasn’t prioritized memorizing one of Green Day’s power chord-riddled hits like Longview or Welcome to Paradise?  (I know I have.)  With Revolution Radio they show that they can still belt out the catchy tunes with punk rock velocity.  Billie Joe’s lyrics were never fully juvenile, but these lyrics here are more profound, more meaningful.  Themes of social unrest and current events.  Standout tracks are Bang, Bang, Troubled Times, title track, and Youngblood.  But they’re all pretty good.
