I’m Looking Through You
“I’m Looking Through You” was written by Paul McCartney ( and credited to Lennon-McCartney). The song first appeared on the 1965 album Rubber Soul. It was supposedly written about Jane Asher, McCartney’s girlfriend for five years. The line “You don’t look different, but you have changed” reflects his dissatisfaction with Asher and their relationship. The lyrics also reference his changing emotional state: “Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight”.
My instrumental arrangement is a bit bit more straight rock’n’roll and less country than the original.
You Won’t See Me
“You Won’t See Me” is from the album Rubber Soul. Credited to Lennon–McCartney, it was written by Paul McCartney.
The song is reportedly about a crisis in McCartney’s relationship with his then-girlfriend Jane Asher. She was not returning his phone calls and ignoring him. The somewhat biting tone is a contrast to McCartney’s usually happier love songs. It was musically influenced by the Four Tops’ then-current hit “It’s the Same Old Song”.
My instrumental arrangement is based on the original.
Shadow Heart
“Shadow Heart” is an original composition in which I try to combine the feel of 60’s instrumental guitar rock with a somewhat more sophisticated musical and harmonic language than was typical for that genre. This one is like the style of the Shadows.

“Jangle” is an original instrumental in the style of 1960’s folk-rock. It features a prominent 12-string guitar.
Duodenary
“Duodenary” is an original instrumental in the style of 1960’s folk-rock. It features a prominent 12-string guitar accompaniment.
