No lesson today, my student was sick. We rescheduled for Friday afternoon, though, so that's cool.
Took a look at the music for tomorrow's praise and worship service. Found a few transcriptions online that put the songs in easier keys for guitar, so that was cool. Also, I printed off music for "God's Gonna Cut You Down," by Johnny Cash. It's from the 4th volume of his American series of records. Not sure it would really work for this group of people, but it's a cool song with a great groove that would sound fun with a church choir behind it. Now that I think about it, how fun would it be to try something like U2 tried with the version of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" from Rattle & Hum?
Two other bits of news on teaching today:
1) I got an email from someone looking to set up a time to discuss lessons for her daughter, so that's cool.
2) I got a text from a friend whose son wants to know if I can teach him how to play "Welcome To The Jungle" by Guns N' Roses. (Started putting together a folder after that conversation, we'll see how long it takes til I need it).
I responded to both messages with "Yeses," so we shall see what happens in that regard. Fingers crossed.
Worked for a bit on the Dave Grohl Challenge tonight, too. Found the germ of another chord progression. It needs a lot of work to turn into something that resembles a song, but I like it so far, and therefore I'm going to give it room to breathe.
Started catching up on the last couple months of guitar magazines too. All told, a good, busy music day.
