I took an old track that was a cover of Hear my train and dropped the vocals and added some new electric guitar tracks. I had just upgraded my recording setup and was testing some hardware and software when I did this. It has a punchy lil guitar…
This was from about 4 yrs ago thru a Guitar Center King of the blues online collaboration. I was using Guitar Rig Jimi Hendrix Octavia on this.....pretty hairy sound right there.
In my late teens I was in a hard rock band and this was one of our songs. This recording is not the band but myself doing all the instruments and vocals. Our singer Kevin wrote the lyrics but I forgot some of the lines and adlibbed a bit of it…

This is a lil tune I had written over fifteen years ago. It is one of my favorite progressions and I figure in the near future to record a full band arrangement with vocals. This is just a ruff take working out a melody over the changes.
I always fancied having a man about the house who would sit on the sofa with his feet on the coffee table playing guitar sweetly, while I get on with whatever. This is glorious!
A bit of comic relief is good when you have some writers block. I had he song mapped out years before I recorded it. I need to record its companion "Won't you please squeeze my udder Farmer Joe?".

Ah, I remember this kinda stuff. Don't listen to it much at all nowadays, but it's nice to hear every now and then. This reminds me of "Ultimate Sin" period Ozzy - can't remember who the guitarist on that is (probably someone really famous in the guitar world!).
And Ronnie James Dio - WHAT a voice that guy had...
I'm with captgene on this one - "Rocks"

Liked this very much. If I might make an observation, your songs sound like there is, or should be, a vocal track running through them. I don't know if you did vocals or have lyrics for these, but I found myself adding my own melody and finding my own lyrics to go with the music.

Nice take on that old tune.
I used stand in front of one of those red buckets for the Salvation Army with a few of my friends. This was my favorite song to sing and play.
No Jake today so i had a little while to play while Seb sleeps ain't pre-schools great......so i took a look at Regs life and he’s none too happy ..........Reg has had enough of her threats to leave its time to start the new year a fresh so he…
this is my first piece I've ever created, it is intentionally off beet in one part, it is designed to make your brain put it in the right beet pattern. I hope you enjoy. Oh one tip, be relaxed when listening to this song, you can get some cool…
Reg has started to look to the future and it seems a little brighter when he thinks of the summer to come...Maybe 2013 wont be too bad after all......He got the £16 pound special out for this one with a little clean Bizarro filter…
I rarely play music with other people, firstly because I lack the technical skill to follow another's lead. I can do little more than improvise. Secondly, the sort of music I aspire to make is rarely the music other folks would be interested in…
Lead guitar, Vocals, Percussion - Tharek
Piano, Bass, Rhythm Guitar - Mike Fife
Alive
For the first time I see
past the space behind my eyes
At once, Arise
Before
All was in sight
As light took up less space in our minds
For now, Again
Buried…
I have found some old Tapes of Reg's Great Grandfather old Blind Melon Reg who emigrated back to Sheffield from the states in the early 40's to fight for king and country these are the lost tapes of him playing live at the cellar from way back…
Red string of fate... Go look it up!
ONE RED STRING
One red string
Forever tied
Through everything
I’ve ever tried
You can always bring be back to life
Just by coming ‘round
There’s something magic in your eyes
Or maybe something…
January challenge songwriting fun...
WATER UNDER WATER
So near the surface
So near the end
So near the purpose
Time and again
Just barely breathing
I’ll need you when
I’m floating in the water under water
Holding on loosely
Without letting…
this is my take on Joe Bonamassa's version of Blind Faith's "Had To Cry today"
a much shorter version...just wanted to record that cool lick and am trying to work on my vocals ... oh well ..what a time to try to learn to sing at my age...63 next…
Comments on JR James's stuff
Great sounds.
Ooo, this is nice! By the way, welcome to Alonetone! Bethan
Ha, you make a great band! You don't need one! Well played!
Oh, my word!
I always fancied having a man about the house who would sit on the sofa with his feet on the coffee table playing guitar sweetly, while I get on with whatever. This is glorious!
The title made me come, the awesomeness made me stay!
Oh sweet man! It does sound like Dio-esque, and that's awesome to me.
Spanish style is right. Good job! =) And what a cool voice.
Oh goodness, this is really nice. Relaxing and sweet-sounding.
Oh this is beautiful listening. Might just be working out changes and melody, but it stands as it is. Very relaxing.
Listened to several selections and liked what I heard. Sometimes your guitar work reminds me of one of my faves: Robin Trower. Well done. ER
I am not sure who played on that album....thats a good google search for later....he has had so many. Ozzy is like the pimp of guitar players...lol!
*WOW* That is some intense playing! Fun to listen to.

Short and sweet... but what a tone! Made me think of Jack Black in School of Rock - I think this one qualifies as a "face-melting solo" lol
Very cool tune.
Rocks.
Cool tone.

Superb...love piano and cello together. One nice vocal and harmonies.
Funky music with a ballsey vocal. Vocals are solid!
First one...pretty damn good electronic music.
This is a killer vocal! Spot on.
No rules music....meditative.
Nice and soulful. Makin that pedal board sound good.
Very good track. Like how you put the snare in the distance with reverb. Creative mix.
Dang, this is heavy. Track has a retro color on the mix.
This is the bees knees man!
A beauty. Never heard it before but it sounded perfect to my ears.
Guitar sound is a killer. Real good track.
This is wild and wooly! Great mix!
Enjoyed!
Enjoyed this song.
