Who he is

The green guitar guy

Metal versions of the biggest K-pop songs, played live in one take.

The story

Before the green guitar, there was a blues bass player.

Tae studied bass at BIMM, toured Europe in a blues band, and put out an album under his own name that nobody heard. Fourteen thousand plays, then silence.

So he entered a Jackson Guitars competition in London, played on stage with Wargasm, and won. He asked for a black guitar. The rep blocked him. He kept the green SL3.

Then came the shed. A green screen, some lights, and one-take covers of the biggest K-pop songs, filmed every single day. The algorithm noticed. Songwriters noticed. A fan showed his ATEEZ cover to Hongjoong at a fancall. A dance crew commissioned one for a competition and placed second.

Everything you hear is played live. One take. No edits. No MIDI. In a world where you can't tell what's real anymore, that's the whole point.

The process

1

Learn the song

Break down every part: the melody, the rhythm, the feeling.

2

Rebuild with metal energy

Heavy riffs, palm muting, and shred technique.

3

Record live

One take. No edits. No MIDI. Just raw guitar and amps.

That's why it sounds different. Because it's real.
