An instrumental guitar tune which combines some flashy rock "guitar hero" stuff with a strong melody. Couldn't think of a title so I just did what I always do in that situation... nick the name of an old movie from the '50s

This tunes was always being played around the house when I was a kid. Heard it recently for the 1st time in ages on a TV show & it sparked some great memories for me. Decided to do a cover of it. Hope you like my treatment of it :-)

An instrumental jazz guitar track inspired by George Benson. Basically a posh 12 bar blues :-)

A homage to the spy movie soundtracks of the '60s... twangy guitar, weird minor scales & a honky tonk piano :-)

Ah! I wondered when a "Hank" vibe would appear - I just knew you could do it... Masterful stuff. Gorgeous tones. Are you mic'ing up "real amps" or modelling?

Like Kavin says - wow... When this one started I thought "ah, won't grab me so much" (jazz is not something I've ever made much effort to get into, and the opening chords/stops announced themselves as "not your thing andrew") - but then... wow (and when the stops arrived again at the end - I was well into it!)

The obligatory "power ballad". A guitar instrumental inspired by Santana. Dedicated to a good pal of mine who's had a rough time lately.

Some gorgeous lyrical playing here.

A little jazz-funk for your delectation. My homage to Jeff Beck's 1975 masterpiece album "Blow By Blow". The title is the name of a Lee Child book I was reading at the time I was writing the tune.

Loving your stuff so far. Although I'm a guitarist, it's not often "guitar only" music holds my attention for more than a track or so - but you're managing it easily!

Another slice of my jazzy side... this is inspired by John Coltrane & Kenny Burrell. Plenty of key changes - I can't stop myself sometimes :-)

A little experiment... what would happen if you took a Gypsy jazz tune in the style of Django Reinhardt & played it with a rock band type line up? I reckon it might sound a bit like this :-)

That's even cooler if you can program drums all by yourself. I just tap them out on my midi keyboard sometimes, or whack a snare drum, add some reverb and pull it back in the mix. About THE WINNOWING, I don't know if it's obvious but I sang all the parts.

Thanks mate. The drums aren't live, I'm afraid - programmed in Cakewalk Studio Instruments

Welcome to Alonetone. And thanx for listening to my songs. I like this. So sparse. So nimble when you go to the second guitar. Are those live drums?

Saved!
