Day One Hundred Forty Five (Year Three)

I synced the ipod today.  Got the new Green Day record (how many times have I typed that phrase recently?) uploaded, along with the new Stones tunes.  Got through a couple of the songs from the 3rd part of the trilogy.  Haven't gotten to the point yet where it's too much music from one band in a relatively short period of time, but I'm getting close, so we shall see on that one.

Got a chance to sit down with the guitar for a little bit tonight, too.  Not as long as I would have hoped for, but all things considered lately, I'll take what I can get.  I worked through some of the lessons from the magazines I've picked up lately, and while it felt good to get back to something resembling a bit of actual practicing, what felt even better was working my way through a few of the progressions out of my Dave Grohl Challenge notebook, and finding that I still like them just as much as I did when I first wrote them down.

I teach tomorrow.  Second to last lesson for the next couple of weeks as we take time off for the holidays.  As weird as it will be to not teach for two weeks, it will be nice to have a bit of time to recharge my own musical batteries, and work on plotting a way forward for both my students and myself as we head toward the new year and a fresh chance to make great strides in our musical lives.

Day Two Hundred Six (Year Four)

Today was the first official day of the second half of my "album-in-a-month" challenge. As for today's goals, I wanted to see what I could get done in regards to track order, and get at least a little bit of a start on the lyric writing process. I spent more time working on the track order question than I did on the lyrics today, but as a result of that, I ended up with something that I think will work in terms of order. I did sit with the notebook for a few minutes at the very end of the day, and got a solid starting line of lyric and some other ideas that I hope will be jumping off points for lyrics. What I'm thinking I might do, however, is switch my focus from the lyric writing part of the process directly to the recording part of the process.  That way, if I can get the music recorded and burned onto a CD, I can take the music with me in the car, and listen and try to see what images and thoughts the music brings up.  It's a tactic that has worked for...

Day Two Hundred Ninety Two (Year Five)

Today was the last seminary village cookout of the year. While we were all sitting around the picnic tables eating dinner, I got a chance to talk with a few of the Mrs.'s classmates about guitar related stuff. As it turns out, more than one of them wants to be more proficient on guitar. I'm not saying that this will lead to more teaching opportunities, but I told one of them that I would throw a folder together for them. Essentially, anytime I get a chance to talk shop is a great chance for me to reinforce some of the things I have been focusing on. If nothing else, it gets me thinking ahead to tomorrow's day off and a chance to get into the studio for a decent amount of time.

Day Three Hundred Forty Two (Year Four)

Tonight was a slightly unfocused night in the studio. It was a night of acoustic stuff, but most of what I got accomplished involved tinkering with different songs by Jackie Greene and Johnny Cash.  If nothing else, I set up the next list of songs I want to figure out. Tomorrow night I need to start getting back to the Acoustic Goldmine book, as well.  Every time I sit down with the acoustic for an extended period of time, I reconnect with the emotional side of that instrument.  There's so much to learn still in that book, so much information designed to improve my playing.  I need to take better advantage of it. I know it's crazy, but I'm already looking forward to Friday.  I really need to spend a lot of the day in the studio.  Getting a weekday off of work is such a rare commodity.  I need to do a good job of using my time wisely.
