Where the wind spins the turbine…
Yes I saw a chupacabra.

Hello Little One
Hello little one
Glad I ran into you
Are you some kinda freak
Or did you escape from a zoo?
Ears like a fox, look like a dog
About as much hair as you'd…

Lyrics:
Lord Jestocost
She’s a cat and she’s a girl
But she’s not equal in this world
I am lord of all I see
This…
A little birthday uke ditty, bookended by two improvs
So this is year 61
Made it this far
Let’s have some fun
Keep looking forward don’t look back
Time has a way of keeping track
Of joy and pain
We all live for love
Sun or rain
This…
First in a planned series of American traditional folk tunes presented as simple guitar instrumentals.
Here's the lyrics if you want to sing along:
Oh, where have you been, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Oh, where have you been, Charming Billy?

a 13 minute improvisation I played on a newly tuned Steinway grand piano at my Church. The only audience was my Zoom H2 – which is probably good since there are a few glaring “misses” in the performance. I love the joy of just playing but it does…
This lil Hendrix tune has been in my head lately so I decided to take a stab at it. Every time I attempt a cover of one of his songs I discover something new. This time it was his uncanny sense of phrasing and harmony within a blues context. It…
Anyone who knows me realizes I dig electronic music....yet have no idea what I am doing when it comes to creating it! This is just some groovy randomness messing around with new studio equipment.
An EVH-inspired instrumental. I couldn't come up with a fancier name, so Boogie Train it is! This is straight up Hard Rock 80s style. No dabbling in other genres to mess up this song. Heh. Leave some comments if you please. Believe it or not…
This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
Got a guitar for my birthday... I have been trying to learn how to play it. This is a cover of an old Smiths song I tried to tackle for Lesson 10 "Finger Picking."
12.10.2013: rerecorded at slightly faster tempo; added small amount of distortion…
Little improv from an album I'm working on. Single track w/electric zither, electro harmonix memory toy, tc electronic corona chorus, Live 6LE w/chordal effect on track.
Excellent performance by Gene on programmed drums, rhythm guitar and bass, with Farrell on lead guitar. I'm on vocals. Hope you enjoy us on this old Zep Classic................
This just an exercise from a Coursera guitar course I took a few months ago. Some other people liked this track on Soundcloud so I thought I'd upload it here.

Outstanding.
Oh, this is masterfully played. Just lovely.
Okay, this is just beyond lovely.
Dude, this is great! Looooooove the energy!
"We went away to find ourselves and came back to someone else." Great line. This track is not what I expect from you.

Free flowing musical expression and lots of ideas here, like a deconstructed Let It Be in places.
A favorite Hendrix tune of mine, good versh.
Nice combo. Those Ov 12's seem to be making a resurgence. I almost bought one a few months ago but the owner and I couldn't agree on a price.
Cool. And love the title!
Really nice work. Welcome to alonetone!
I like this alot, but you should at least credit that you sampled a Jefferson Airplane song.
Cool. I'll be following along. I kind of do the same thing every week over at Sound-In.
Great driving sound on this track.. but seems unfinished? Or maybe you were just going for the minimalist, which is good.
Get Down!
That's pretty cool.
Pretty great, but is this legal?
Neat project and awesome sounds!

Lovely, pure acoustic sound. Holy. Wow.
Excellent, very well done.
