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.
a quick one put down before i forgot it.....
SNOWBLIND
your doing all sorts of things tangling up my mind
you’ve fired up my jealousy thats eating up my time
i’m just trying to be the perfect man for you
but deep inside i really know i will…
Live in the cellar this morning just me and Rapunzel......
PLEASE DON'T GO
close the door now
put out the light
i got a feeling deep inside everything alright
i just want to hold you
keep you close to my heart
i don’t want to ever feel…
One acoustic track through a sure 58, Kontakt scarbi bass, vintage keys and addictive brush kit and a bunch of "oh yeah" vocal tracks.
Thanks for listening
Had a blues riff and I was recording on my cheapo. acoustic thru a 58 and my dog Rufus started singing so I kept it and made the song from his point of view. .... just having some fun.
Rar rar rar rar rar rar rar rar rar rar….
My name is…
Recorded this pretty quickly... 2 acoustic tracks(cheapo garage sale yamaha recorded with a sure 58 duck taped to my table because I forgot my microphone stand at practice),hohner harmonica, midi bass (kontakt) and addictive drums, vocals sure…
Apologies to George but I love the song. Its shocking to find out that Paul and John rejected it until George dragged Eric to the studio one day. Imagine the White Album without this...
no effects of any type on this for good or ill.
I thought going into 50/90 that I would need to do some quick recordings of really simple arrangements. Maybe just acoustic guitar and voice. Nope, not really.
This isn't meant as filler. This idea is something I noodle on almost every…

Jan 17 2015 - Remixed. I was always kinda disappointed with what the original mix sounded like. Listening to it the other day I realised what it is - I'd mixed the vocals too loud. This reduced the "stereo" and killed off a lot of the life…
The liars.........
WAR!!
4 million pairs of feet walked up an down protesting in the street
What they wanted wasn't heard at all They wanted to bring down the heat
Talk about the problems rationally But the government didn't want to know at…
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.
