Day Ninety Four (Year Four)

Oh, what a day.  It didn't go at all the way I hoped it would, but it went, nonetheless.

The good news?  I got 95% of the music I wanted to get imported into iTunes uploaded onto the iPod and got the pod freshly charged.

The less good news?  I spent almost the entire rest of the day fighting with the cable company, and only ducked into the studio for a small amount of time tonight.  That said, the time I did spend in the studio was enough to:

1) Mess around with a new song idea.
2) Work my way through today's lick in Guitar Aerobics.
3) Get some things reorganized and set to rights.

All told, not the most productive of days, although the listening that got done after the iPod was charged up was definitely a plus.

Still, tomorrow needs to be so much better.

Day Two Hundred Ninety Three (Year Four)

Big day today, for a few reasons... First off, it was a good night in the studio.  As opposed to the recent sessions that have had a singular focus (either theory-related, or acoustic/set list related), tonight had a little bit of both things in it.  When I hit the studio tonight, I fully expected to pick up the electric and work out a bit more theory studying, much like things have gone for the last week or so.  Knowing that, I somehow ended up with the acoustic in my hands, working through a little bit of Brandi Carlile.  More specifically, two songs of hers that I have always loved, "Wasted," and "Fall Apart Again," but until tonight, never taken the time to sit down and learn.  I have a songbook with everything from the first three records, and it took me until tonight to sit down and take a look at working through some of these things. In a related note, I really feel like the last year has been so very good for my confidence, musically.  There are some p

Day Three Hundred Forty (Year Six)

It's done.  Well, okay, so it's 99.5% done, but that's close enough for me. The stereo and the turntable got set up this morning, as I figured they would, and the two bags of randomness (picks, my slide, tuners, etc) and the few small piles of notebooks got dealt with tonight.  I even managed to get the iMac set up, if not fired up. And yet, the studio remains only slightly unfinished.  Somewhere in either the house or the garage, there must be a box or a bag that has a couple of studio-related items tucked into it, because there are at least two things I can't find.  As fate would have it, they're important things, too.  And something tells me that they're all in one place.  I'm missing: 1.  My looping pedal 2.  The power cable for my Marshall 3.  The foot switch for the Marshall They're all things that would have been in the same general area in the old studio, but given how much of the house we've gotten set up already, it really surpris
