There is always one accompaniment track and one melody track. All the accompaniment tracks are played on a Manson 7-string flat top acoustic using a magnetic pickup. The seventh string is tuned to a low A, the same as the third string of a bass. The melody tracks are all played on an Ibanez Artist semi-acoustic except Anouman where I used the Manson. There's a lot of reverb, mostly using a Strymon "Big Sky".
Also here is a bonus track on YouTube, "Seven Come Eleven", which didn't make it onto the album.
