Acoustic interlude with a slightly lower tempo that leads into If. The solo is a mix of two improvised takes.

Apparently I was obsessed with hammer-ons when writing these riffs...

This one is just straight up weird... two random creations in Crystal that entertained me, with automated Grain Delay on one of the patches.

Filler track #1

First song written...this actually had words, but I never got brave enough to sing them.

The "chill" song, with a big ending. Sorry about the drums, they particularly need re-recording. Especially in the beginning.

Probably the rocking-est track of the set

A song I'd been working on all month, finally came up with an acceptable arrangement out of necessity.

Filler jam #2... quotes riffs from other songs in the set

I thought I'd post my riff notebook as I'm working on writing this time. You know, get feedback, get told whether I'm blatantly ripping off a song, or find other alonetoners who want to work with me on them.

Track 12 from "They Are Killers" ... originally to be #11, but I decided this was a better one to go out on.

Track 11... I have to stop writing parts that I can't cleanly play.

Trying the distorted/clean guitar pairing... track 10 from "They Are Killers"

This is sort of a skeleton version of this song...I have an intro in mind, but don't have time to write it right now. So named because it's primarily in 7/4.

Not originally intended as an acoustic song...but I couldn't get the big riff at the end to sound right with big distorted guitars, and then I realized on acoustics it might sound like it had a little Days Of The New influence. Track 9 from…

The "chorus" riff started off with me trying to rip off "Shallow" by Porcupine Tree. Don't think I'm really in PT territory anymore though. Track 7 from "They Are Killers"
