Guitar - me Bass - me Keys - me Percussion - loops I used My new Yamaha Pacifica 112V electric guitar, my Dean bass, and Alchemy synth.

Kind of a cross between a surf tune and an indie rock instrumental. I played the rhythm and lead guitars, and bass guitar. Used loops for the drums and vox. Recorded in Reaper.

Fingerpicked guitars in 2 different tunings, acoustic guitar solo, with a moog VSTi.

Country/Folk with just my acoustic guitar and my voice. An ode to my home state, North Dakota. This is a rough draft. Any helpful criticism is welcome.

2 tracks rhythm guitar, one sounds like an organ one track lead guitar bass maniacal laughing drums from loops

Glitchy Drums, Weird guitar by me and bass by me.

Dark electronica. Percussion loops that I morphed, and sounds generated from the Alchemy Synth VSTi.

I wrote this one several years ago, but never recorded it, so it seemed like a good way to get a jump start on RPM2013.

Another old tune... from 2004 I think. Tuned to DADFAD.

I think I wrote enough that I can play it consistently this way, but I like this piece as a jam framework. Tuned to DADFAD.

First song written this year... and the closest thing to a reasonable but non-standard tuning I used (just drop D)

No, the title isn't really about anything. Also tuned to DADFAD.

I think I had just hiked at, or was planning on hiking at, Rattlesnake Ledge when I wrote this, so...there you go. Tuned to DADGAD.

...or "Lullaby for a teddy bear from Nysa." Tuned to DADGAD.

So named because it reminded me of something I might hear on a PBS special or other documentary about national parks, and Tuolumne (from Yosemite NP) was the first word that came to mind. Also wins for weirdest tuning: CGDGAC

Who says everything in DADGAD has to sound happy and Celtic?

For that matter, who says everything in DADFAD has to be dreary and sad? D minor is, after all, the saddest chord.

This just sort of fell out of my guitar as I was finishing up recording Tuolumne (so it is also in super-weird CGDGAC tuning). And it's named because what caught my eye as I was searching for a name was a bass guitar pick with an eagle on it.
