This one I wrote right out of bed at the same time as The Dark Horse. Recorded at John Watkins Studio in Barrington.  It's a demo with mistakes but you get the idea.

The Castle Written by Tom Hall (Demo)

I wrote this song on an Eddie Van Halen guitar I had just purchased.  I buy and sell and trade a lot of guitars through my company Trout Valley Guitars. I often use them for inspiration. I had just purchased the guitar and set it next to my bed to play when I woke up.  This song popped in my head quickly.  It was written about 6 months before Eddie Van Halen died.  It's hard to not be influenced by him in one way or another as a player.  I actually sent a note to Sammy Haggar on Instagram saying I'd like him to play this song with me in the studio. He hasn't heard it but I know he'd do a hell of a job on it. I named it after the street Eddie lived on. Recorded on an iPhone.  Produced by Tom Hall

I'm Tom Hall.  I like guitars, everything about them.  I have a company called Trout Valley Guitars and I am a dealer for Victoria Amp, Tyler Amp Works Rittenhouse Guitars and LSL Instruments.  You can find me at https://troutvalleyguitars.com/ or at Trout Valley Guitars on Facebook and Instagram.
I have songs I’ve written here and many more I’m working on. Most of these are working tracks, mistakes and all using single takes for the parts with drums, bass and guitars, some finished, some not.  Some of the tracks were built as a background for the guitar through software, some totally live. I like the human element so you won’t hear any gloss on my demo's.  I’m not an engineer so most of this is tracked and that’s it, no real mix, except Strike Zone engineered and produced by Adam Gotheridge.
Remember music is a craft and an art, do it your own way, Stay focused and keep it real.
