Pick Ups, Monster Hunter, Pop Punk & Christmas

On this week’s Live Lesson, the guys unveil their second songs from the song writing challenge. But first, they answer a few questions about pickups. Aldrine kicks off the song writing showcase with his Monster Hunter inspired instrumental. Kahai follows with his pop punk / Nintendo-esque song baby. And Aaron brings it home with his oh-so-sweet “sad Christmas song”. Each of them explain their song writing process and musical choices. They wrap up the lesson by setting up the rules for the next challenge.
