The electric guitar tracks were done on my prototype of the Till Guitars TG-521 model with Rosewood top and Birdseye Maple fretboard, Seymour Duncan humbuckers, 24 3/4" scale... See more at TillGuitars.com.
I record with an old version of Logic Pro X.

An A Boogie

Galloping Spaghetti

This piece was something of an exercise. The first few notes were just me checking to see if the keyboard was turned on, so I beat them into something of a song. It's all over the place as far as influences go.
I haven't added any solos, yet - and I'm not sure I will to this recording, but I think it will make for a fun extended jam once I put a band together. I made all of the electric guitars and bass on this one.

Hat Dance

It's become so that the only way I can memorize lyrics is by recording the song I want to learn. I thought this turned out pretty good, so here ya go.

Pancho and Lefty - Townes Van Zandt Cover/Test

An example of what happens when you run out of ideas.

Moxbatch

This tune is turning out way differently than first imagined. I thought it was going to be more Motowny. I may or may not continue working on it. 
I think this recording has the most of my own handmade instruments on it, yet: 2 different 6 string electrics, 4 string bass, electric mandolin and electric lapsteel.

TBD in G take 2

I'm already working on a new version of this tune - this time I'll leave room for a guitar solo. But, meanwhile, this might get you up and dancing.

B for Boogie

I've been playing this tune since the seventh grade - always in A. But for some reason I recorded it in E this time, which is why I'm singing it so...weakly.
Mostly I was seeing how my new (used) Fender Frontman 25r sounds. Pretty Fendery, huh?

Bullfrog Blues

Introducing my newest guitar model "Shorty Joe", which features a lightning fast 23 1/4 inch scale. Check out www.TillGuitars.com to learn more about this little beast.

Shorty Joe's Blues #1

I don't know how this happened. I sat down to make up a tune and this came out. I'm supposed to be a blues rocker. What the hay. 
The only instrument I made on this was the bass (Shorty Joe Bass no.1).
The mandolin was an afterthought. I still don't get it, but it's coming to me. The only instruction I've ever had was, "it's kind of like playing an inside out G chord." I'm using a 1957 Kay A type.
The acoustic is a Madiera (import guild) from the early 80s. Real snare with brushes, midi everything else on Logic Pro X 10.2.4

Baltic Boogie

Trying to pound that D chord pattern into a song. I like the bridge, but it doesn't really fit with the genre. So, I've already used it on something else with a different feel.
I'm still waiting for lyrical inspiration. But, in the mean time, it might make a good instrumental accompaniment to a video.
Unusually for me, this song doesn't feature any of my handmade instruments, yet.
