*Dahh* Also, to clarify to those wondering why Slavic Nik is in my "How To Make Amazing _______" videos, it's for a few reasons. The first being that it actually makes the video memorable. It surprisingly will make all this somewhat important information stick because you'll have something unique to connect it to, which is the accent. More importantly, these are essentially 10 minute tutorial style videos that honestly... would be kinda boring if it was just me talking normally. It might look more professional in that style but these videos are meant to be fun and have terrible jokes in them in order to keep it from feeling like any other "how to" video.

That's a joke stolen from my best friend Denis actually. It's not his original humor at all. I also took this kid to his first show at the devil wears prada. But he forgets his bandmates, his friends who showed him EVERY BAND he now likes, and all else in the name of "fame". Way to rep Etobicoke and who got you here in the first place Nik Pop.

There's a great KZfaq channel called ShadyCicada where he does fun "tutorials" on how to write songs from different genres, then plays a short song with those riffs and leads and stuff at the end. While he says it's a bit of fun and not to take it too seriously, it's helped a lot with my own writing.
