I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee. Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.

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

But don't bring me

NOWHERE - Key of G James Michael Taylor 1. Maybe I misunderstood G Maybe I was wrong C But I thot you loved me D You stayed so long G 2. Maybe I missed something…

This one is from 2013's RPM Christmas Challenge. I imagined a few Irish friends helping out with this one. ;)

Beer fueled rock n roll!!!

On Wikipedia I read this about the great jazz pianist Bud Powell: "...his solos could be heard to emulate the horn players' attack — with the use of frequent arpeggios punctuated by chromaticism," so the first thing you hear is a lick that uses…

This is an old song that I wrote a few years ago. I noticed it on my iPod this morning and thought it was fun to hear it again.

Not up to Avalon standards but I had fun making this. (for week 3)

Just came up with a funk groove so I could shamelessly shred over it for fun.

Soul: it exists, it does not gets old, it just gets... tired. But we'll feel this later, much later.

How precise I have to be? And where is the boundary beyond which comes unnecessary perfectionism?

Inspired by the inability to sleep

Thinking about and inspired a lot by trees lately. That, and the excellent film Rivers and Tides. Arboreal Drink in the sun Until the day is done Dance with the wind Circle of life has no end Roots into the ground Arms reach up to the…

anti gravity metal (Sample = Jefferson Airplane- Today)

A bit of nonsense maybe ?? Started off as an instrumental then these words popped out. Call me lazy if you must, but couldn't think of more !!! C'est la vie !!!!

If sixteen bonobos sat at sixteen grand pianos and could only play one note each and each knew how to divide the measure into a differing discrete division of time, might it sound a little like this piece? Probably not, but it was fun to ponder.

Evan lies on his back one fine afternoon watching clouds.

We've always adored this song, there is another version but decided to re-record it. Now I think the Good Wife sounds quite good, when I think of the crap health problems she endured over the last 4 years. I am bias of course !!!! Lastly apologies…

Messin' about in Open G tuning & this popped out. Actually, as I tune all my guitar's half a note down I suppose it's in Open Gb !?!?! Do that exist !!! Any way, hope you enjoy it.

*Renamed again* Gotta deal with that.

I took some phrases from Bach's work "Prelude No. 2 in C Minor (BWV 847)" and added some other stuff. Hope you like it.

originally written and performed by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.

A live in the cellar version....just me and old Joanne.................

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.

Well, screw the metronome, damn the torpedoes, and grab a capo! Sometimes the best versions are the ones played fast and loose. Hope you enjoy this song adapted from one of my all-time favorite poems (I'm a bit biased since my dad wrote it…

Forget the first person, it's time to tell stories.

The last track I wrote in Santa Fe, New Mexico before moving back to Hawaii.

Rough and Slow acoustic version of the more poppy [lifeline glu and sudara collaboration](http://alonetone.com/doublemeanings/tracks/lifeline). If you like 4 minutes of the same 3 chords, you'll LOVE this song. Now that I have two microphones…

Another work from two years ago, this is a cover from Audioslave.

Reg's mental health has started to cause him problems again.......... the voices are back with a vengeance and he's back on the pills....they tell him that the therapy is good for him......but it's relentless ......Reg isn't so sure it will help…

To be true to yourself - how is it? True to the sound that you retrieved from the instrument, to give [share] it away to others (to whom? you'll never know)? True to the mood that you're trying to follow, and which changes before you realize what…

An old demo to say 'hello again alonetoners!'

by W. Axl Rose and Paul Tobias

My own version, pretty far off from the original.

Just a silly song I made up based on the title of an Accept song. I like Accept and was listening to one of their albums the other day and later when I went to record something the title "Flash Rockin' Man" was in my head and I just used that…
