2024 50/90 Challenge idea number seven becomes song number 18. I just don't like this one. I don't even want to waste time thinking about how to improve it. I am just ready for it to go away. All of the guitar tracks are my Les Paul Custom…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number six becomes finished song number 17. This one is okay. The melody in the verse is a little lame, but everything else works okay. All of the guitar tracks are my Les Paul Custom. All of the amps are my Fender…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number five becomes finished song number 16. This might have been better if I hadn't done such a crappy job recording it. So many bad punches and lifeless takes. The hook is okay at least. All of the guitar tracks…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number four becomes finished song number 15. I like this one even though there's not a lot to it. The ending has nothing to do with the rest of the song and I like the tempo change. I like that for some reason…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number three becomes finished song number 14. I like the 6/8 groove. Everything here is decent. Nothing outstanding, but overall I kinda enjoy it. The rhythm guitar tracks are my Les Paul Custom into a Klon…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number two becomes finished song number 13. I like the melody in the chorus but the vocals... wow, are they terrible. Over all I give it a meh. The rhythm guitar tracks are my Les Paul Custom into a Klon…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 23 becomes finished song number 12. This one is okay, I guess. I like the noisy chorus but that's really all that stands out to me. I should have faded out at the end. Oh well. The rhythm guitars…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 25 becomes finished song number 11. I kinda like this one, even though I had to dumb down the rhythm guitars a little because I couldn't play the riff I wrote for the bass guitar in the chorus, and then…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 19 becomes finished song number 10. 10 down, 40 to go. 20% of the way there! My first toe-dip into a swing groove. Just a little. I like this one. It could maybe go for being a smidge faster though…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 18 becomes finished song number nine. Slow enough to pass for a funeral march. Not sure I like that anymore. I am happy with the lead guitars for the first time this summer. I think I was feeling it a little…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 14 becomes finished song number eight. Now that it's done I don't think I like it as much as I did while I was tracking it it. Unusual for me, the part that works best for me is actually the vocal melody…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 17 becomes finished song number seven. I don't know what to think about this one. The leads at the end are really sloppy. It must have been the last song I worked on that day and my fingers weren't responding…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 15 becomes finished song number six. The never ending mission to demonstrate that 3/4 time may in fact at times rock. Also, any excuse to use a backward guitar track, right? The rhythm guitars are…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 13 becomes finished song number five. Five down, 45 to go. We're 10% of the way through the challenge! I found out the hard way that using an apostrophe in the song title here at Alonetone means you cannot…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 10 becomes finished song number four. I kinda like the verse. I don't like the mix. The hook is kinda meh. I like the random key changes. I should have done more with the dynamics in the outro. I dropped…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number one becomes finished song number three. Only 47 more to go! My morning routine got messed up and it became a song. Fascinating source of inspiration, eh? I like the chorus in this one. Well, I like…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 12 becomes finished song number two. Two down, 48 to go. So far this is the only song that was written on guitar. Everything else started out with a MIDI bass part and was built up from there. Sometimes…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 11 becomes finished song number 1. One song down, 49 to go, but at least I won't be shut out this year. This song is overly simple. The vocals are pretty bad and the lead playing is worse, but it's a decent…

Written during the 2020 50/90 Challenge and rerecorded for yet another batch of Quarantine Tunes. I think I like this better than the original, though I think the sound quality might have been better the first time around. I'm too close to…

Hello and welcome to the first song from Quarantine Tunes Volume Eight, also known as the eighth round of The Great 2015 Re-Recording Project, also known as the highlight reel from the 2020 50/90 Challenge. Or something like that. I had…
