Day One Hundred Eighty Five (Year Three)

Apparently I work better under pressure.

I spent all day at work trying to wrap my brain around why things hadn't gone so well for me writing-wise this month.  Following up on last night's post with my internal monologue, trying to sort it all out at least somewhat in advance, so that tonight, I could maybe feel like I was getting somewhere, by God.

I sat down tonight, bound and determined to sort out the issues that had been bugging me with this month's song.  It had less to do with the chords being fairly simplistic, and more to do with the fact that the verses and what I'd had last night for a chorus just didn't really seem cohesive AT ALL.

So, I did what I always do when something isn't sounding right.  I slapped a capo across the strings until I heard a sound I liked, and went from there.

The song is still mostly basic chords, but I'm happier with it tonight than I was 24 hours ago.  Besides, I don't think that one more song in G will unmake the world or anything like that.  That, and I got it all blocked out, verses and choruses, music-wise.  Each line in the verse and chorus progressions, anyway.  The only thing I don't know is the exact number of verses.  That's got to happen tomorrow, though, so that Sunday night can be spent laying down bass lines and recording basic drums.

Progress was good today!

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 Nine (Year Four)

Tonight was one of those nights where absolutely nothing went right, but somehow, some way, I managed to get into the studio for a little bit, and make what felt like good progress, all things considered. I went back through the second half of last night's chapter in The Guitarist's Guide To Scales Over Chords , just to make sure that I had a decent grasp of everything that was covered, and then made the move to the next chapter. After the theory-heavy chapter I had just gotten through, it was a great relief to have the next one be more music (playing) centered.  It was all about putting the scale examples they cited in the early chapters to use in a musical context. I've seen a great number of books try to do this in a successful manner, and end up failing spectacularly, but so far I'm liking what this book is putting forward.  They give you "starter" examples, that don't necessarily make the best use of note choices, etc. and then present you with an...

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.
