I did more playing than anything else today, and while there wasn't as much playing as there would have been on a normal day off, I still picked up the guitar for at least half an hour on a day when SL was in town, and we had a bunch of awesome stuff to do.
If I had to condense my work today into a top 3 list, it would look something like this:
1) Worked through a couple of bits of "Red House." I tried to focus in on the sections I outlined the other day, but I admittedly didn't spend enough time with it today, as I was trying to pick up the guitar for a bit right before we headed out for the day.
2) I did, however, manage to make it all the way through "Goodnight Elizabeth" by Counting Crows. I love that song. The E-G bit of the chord progression that tune is based on is one of my favorite changes of all time. It's a uniquely unexpected move, and I've always wanted to find a way to work it into a song of my own.
and, finally
3) I also managed to stumble across a chord progression that felt like it might, one day, wind up as an original song. More likely it will be something for a solo project as opposed to something for the hard rock band, but hey, there's nothing wrong with stockpiling ideas, now is there? We'll see if I still like it tomorrow (and therefore, if it is good enough to stay in the running).
That's all for today. I'll dive back into the Hendrix with a bit more force tomorrow after work.
