i just threw a name to this before I loaded it. I tuned my guitar to "DADGAD" in order to play some intricate smooth jazz riffs similar to a super human fella named ANDY MCKEE, but instead this came out and i haven't done anything with it since…
This and "DADGAD" were the 2 very first songs that I recorded after getting a irig and garageband ios. i find even still that what i lacked in technical knowledge of the programs i made up for with a raw creativity. you can really hear some of…
You said, "I’m still not exactly sure what kind of music gets favored on this site." You can't go wrong here, whatever you post. It's all here: Electronica, Metal, Blues, Country, Sea Shanties, Classical, Irish Ballads, Hip Hop, and stuff so far out of the box that you simply cannot stick a label on it. Just do your thing, and being your father, I know better than anybody how you don't let yourself get pegged down to one genre, but I believe you'll find many here who will appreciate and respect that. Welcome to AloneTone, and do your thing!
Thank you sincerely BTO! I appreciate the kind words. I wasn't even considering putting this track up but gene Eric man heard it and insisted. I'm still not exactly sure what kind of music gets favored on this site.
If she'd just been honest about it online, b4 they met in person, he could have been cool with it... based on a story related to me by a friend, and hopefully it will be taken in the fun spirit in which it is intended and no one is too offended.
What type of melody comes to mind when you hear this? I have a little diddy, i write lyrics and especially melodies. Most people don't realize how important a great melody is to any song. I always cherish the ideas that my instrumentals my inspire in other people.

I've debated on whether to do a proper recording of this or not. It seems to have a profound effect one way or the other on everyone i have shared it with So far.
Thanks for taking the time to listen through. "They don't call it bodybook and there's a reason for that" :)
Thank you sincerely. I really appreciate the feedback. When you play every instrument it's extremely tough to see past the tiny flaws in each of the individual instrument tracks to the bigger picture.

This one is dedicated to my dear friend John. Thanks for changing my life for the better....
Also a big thanks to our own Greg Connor who helped me get the chords for my own uke accompaniment, and who kindly played the beautiful guitars…
Each time I sit down to learn something about Logic, I end up getting distracted and creating some kind of track...
This one uses EFM1 -> Delay Designer -> Live Cut
Some drums through similar craziness
and finally me playing some pads and…
This was my first song that I steered away from the general 4:4 signature. I'm not very intellectually savvy with music theory and whatnot, so this was a step for me.
CHECK IT OUT!! It's the very elusive and thought to be the stuff of fabled musician's lore, A "completed" song by the guy that I AM!
A robster the rock lobster
I'm going to keep this song EXCLUSIVELY here at Alonetone.com because this…
Hey gene? How can I find out how many plays one of my tracks has?? (This one specifically) it's not showing me :( I usually get an idea for how well my tune is received by the comment thread, but you have brought it to my attention that this is at the top of my played songs continuously and even was apparently "KICKING ASS!" At one point in time for a while! Buttt.... its by far my least commented on... I don't understand it man. Help?
JESSE JAMES performed by the late Danville Dan (Frank Koehl) (rhythm guitar, main vocals) and also posthumously featuring his son, Gene Eric Mann (Rick Koehl)(chorus vocals) and his grandson, Robster the Rock Lobster (Robert W.D. Koehl)(chorus…
WOW!!! I am sincerely speechless. I knew this was coming and still I'm completely taken back by the history here. Honored and proud to have had a small role in 3 generations being represented. I don't see topping this on the context of historical relevance.
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to one of my sloppily recorded ideas! I have had the worst time with basic song construction and even coming up with more than one verse or chorus and then completely loosing my drive. I'm not under the impression that my riffs or ideas for songs suck or anything but I fell cumbersome because I have no endgame and without a point , what's the point right?? ;) anyway, that leads me to my reason for swinging by at the moment, thank you tremendously for the kind words on "4 the kisses...." I waswondering if you would consider putting a vocal track to it please? I understand fully if you can't or simply don't want to, but if you do..... !!!!!!! I would be eternally greatful and for the rest of my stay at alonetone.com I would consider naming my 1st born Greg
I wrote this song while out hiking some awesome trails in Zion National Park... gave me some excellent inspiration. I also tried some different stuff with the mixing and using my keyboard... so trying to push a few of my envelopes...
Here…
Thank you for everything :) that was the first collaboration i have had since being on alonetone! I'm just like a kid I guess, I was wondering if you have any songs that I could help you with the instrumentals to? I do alot of styles well thag I haven't posted yet, Songwriter styles and acoustic guitar with piano.
just wanted to stop by and say thank you again and GREAT JOB :D
looking forward...

Yes please and Absolutely to experimenting with your track! I am by no means a conventional style guitar player though the music I have uploaded so far here is not proof of that. i have been dying In my local scene for many many years. I have dearly missed the challenge and the joy of pushing my playing. I used to love to find a way to make the guitar fit where it doesn't have a clear place in the mix. I don't remember the last time I had to work a riff out before playing it. collaboration is what i live for! I look forward to seeing what happens myself!! When could i get a version to give it a shot?
I need more of this in my life... ever heard of a modern day band called " you me and everyone we know"? They March to their own drum while saying a lil something worth hearing in a popularish format so the message slips right inside :D. Yeah... I dig!
Okay... I wasn't expecting that at all! Reminiscent of thriller bUT if old Micheal Jackson had a out of wedlock child with the band "Say Anything" ... DIG IT?
This is an IDEA or blueprint for the solo of a song I wrote called the same 12 steps. It's just a snippet and it's unmixed but it's just so pretty to me. This was one take on each track (backing/lead) but I think alot of the reason it turned…
Sorry about the click! Its that loud from crosstalk! This is only 2 layers, the rhythm and the solo. i use IKMEDIA's original IRig and apparently something about the frequency of the Peavy acoustic/electric guitar really disagrees. I have tried other cables, seperate headphones, lowering the input volume and even using adapters on the input intrument cable... I'm out of ideas. No other guitar I use causes anywhere near the amount of feedback and crosstalk. But what you hear on this track is unprocessed RAW right from the guitar to the input. Natural and no post effects whatsoever. I absolutely adore the tone and it's a sound that I would love to utilize but I just can't fix it! Does anyone know why this happens or have an idea for a solution that I didn't mention trying earlier? I would be eternally greatful for any Suggestions :)
You guys make me comfortable to workshop ideas and post things I have never thought to play for people before. The greatest thing is that I notice that there is a very minimal amount of "smoke blowing" here compared to reverb nation, Sound cloud and godforbid FB! I love the genuine responses here. And PLEASE feel free to critique anything that isn't up to par. I thrive and even excel from it. God I miss the little things! Thanks again to everyone that has popped in and listened through my recordings! It humbles me and I hope with some honest feedback to motivate me that I will rediscover my love for creating music I am genuinely proud of!
Much love to you guys and that one loan gal ;)

Yes sir... the title may seem out of place for this piece as it stands alone here. The song that I plan to add this piece to a song I wrote about how difficult a particular set of 12 steps can be and how extremely daunting it can be to even try them again after having not made it "to the bottom floor" I use quotation marks because in the song I use that phrase as a metaphor for completing the 12 steps ( getting clean )
The chorus goes, "so here I go again, this time a different reason, to begin. To start back at those same 12 steps I've stumbled down before. But I've never made it to, the bottom floor"

Thank you again Mr. GUY for talking me into uploading this! I would have never thought to share it but I have been waiting to record the entire song until I could workshop it with some people i respect and i think that alonetone has finally given me the opportunity. Tom Cruise willing, I may just even finish recording a entire song!

I honestly can't express how much that means to me man... thank you very much. I really didn't think anyone else would care for the blend of styles but I often wish Pink Floyd were heavier and TOOL were less mechanical and more passionate. I bounce back and forth between many vastly different genres but I Always seem to come back to "this" no matter how far i stray.
YOU GUYS ROCK!

YES SIR that is just me! All of the tracks that i have uploaded so far have been just me alone on every instrument! i don't enjoy working alone and maybe that is the reason the songs are just snips and ideas instead of 4 and 5 minute finished songs. I have picked up some strange talents along the way as a result of recording all of the instruments myself!
Comments on Rock Lobster's stuff
The coolest 45 seconds long song I've ever heard!
Awesome, Dude! Are both tracks you, the guitar and drums? Are those acoustic or iPad drums. Anyway, sweet composition -- Rock on!

I don't reckon I'll ever forget this lol Dustin
Nicely done!
Gorgeous, son! Beautiful. Let me see those lyrics. I might can get you that vocal track. I happen to know a dude who knows a dude.
They don't call it Bodybook -- there's a reason for that.
Comments made by Rock Lobster
I seriously missed the angelic sound of your voice
Hells to the yes! I didn't know that cerebral convulsive melody was represented on alonetone.com! I need more of this in my life
SWEEEETTTT!!!! I dig your adventure into polyrhythm!
