Destination Unknown on SoundBetter

Hey everyone! Do you need some help or ideas for writing some pop punk songs or other rock style guitar riffs or need some vocal melodies?? I can help!!

I've been playing pop punk for over 20 years now and im looking to help anyone out there that needs help writing full pop punk songs or vocal melodies/lyrics !

Looking for a solid "beginner" style mix? I can put something together for you or your band that is "listenable" and "shareable" for you and your friends/family/fans for a low price ! (not pro quality-ask for more details).

Looking for some guitar tones? Pop Punk/Metal/Rock/Classic Rock/Jazz/Classical ? I can use your clean DI signal and get you almost any tone you need OR play what you need me to play to achieve those tones. The $50 guitar track price includes 2 tracks so you can pan them left and right. They will be slightly different (not copy and pasted) to sound more real and like its two guitarists playing.

As far as guitars go I can use :
Billie Joe Armstrong "Blue" Strat replica with JB pickup
Fernandes Strat with a Fishman Modern bridge pickup
Gibson les Paul Slash
Gibson Les Paul with JB set
Epiphone Adam Jones
Music Man Bass with Seymour Duncan pickups

Im not looking to over charge anyone, my whole intention here is to just help people out !
Feel free to check my band out, link below! I wrote all the guitar parts and all the vocal melodies.
I hope we can work together, the Destination is Unknown !

I need guitars that would have a punk feel to them when played. The Lightning hammer worked quickly communicated effectively to make sure the song sounded as good as possible. I hope to work with him again in the near future
by Ernie P.
The Lightning Hammer is a Great Song writer and made it very easy to communicate with him, he is great at coming up with catchy hooks! not only can he write lyrics, He has tons of experience being a musician and having his own band as well, he can play guitar and sing on whatever projects you need, Thank you for the great experience I appreciate you taking the time and patience to make things work for me, will be back soon Thanks again man!! - Ernie
