GHTunes Showcase: GHDevJordanS has music and rhythm

* Name & job here at Neversoft:

My name in Jordan Sapp (GHDevJordanS) and I am a Guitar/Bass Notetracker here at Neversoft. 

* What is your song's title and does it mean anything?

I called my song “Dotted Jam”.  It’s based on the dotted eighth delay pattern in the guitar hook.

* How long did it take you to create your GHTunes track?

It took me about 6 hours total to create the song from start to finish.  This includes writing the song and creating each part for every instrument. 

* Why is GHTunes such a unique feature in the game to you?

There’s nothing like creating something from the ground up.  I love watching a song come together from nothing and seeing it take shape.  It’s a passion of mine.  The fact that Guitar Hero provides an outlet, and an expansive one at that, for creating original material is a great thing.  Playing your favorite songs in Guitar Hero is a ton of fun, but if we can also encourage people to create their own music and share it with the world, we’re doing something right. 

* What is your favorite songs to play in GH?

As a Notetracker, I sort of naturally become fond of the songs I track for the game.  I try to lay out note charts that are the most possible fun to me, so I’m obviously going to enjoy them a little more than others once they are finished.  Some of my favorite songs to play in Guitar Hero 5 are “2 Minutes to Midnight”, “Do You Feel Like We Do”, and “Bleed American”, all of which I tracked.   

* What  is your favorite type of music to play/listen to?

As a guitar player, I love to play rock and blues mainly.  However, I’m also really inspired by different sounds, tones, and effects and I love to be as creative as possible in any musical situation.  Some  of my favorite bands/artists are U2, John Mayer, AC/DC, and Johnny Lang. 

* Are you in a band? What's your bands name? What kind of music do they play? (your Guitar Hero band doesn't count!)

I am not currently in a band, but I am working on an album of original tunes that I will produce and it should be available by January.  The style of the songs ranges from rock and blues, to pop and funk.  I’d like to form a band around this project and play around the L.A. area, but we’ll see how it turns out.
