Another night in the studio spent going through old issues of Guitar World Acoustic.
I didn't learn anything all the way through tonight, but I cherry picked certain parts of songs and worked on those.
It seems like a bit of an odd statement, but one of the 90's songs I wish I would have written is "Building A Mystery" by Sarah McLachlan. I found a transcription of that song tonight in one of the GWA's and started learning the beginning of that. I couldn't tell you whether it was the sound of the record that draws me in, or whether it's the lyric, or if it's a combination of both, but I had a good time working on the start of that, and will learn the whole thing at some point here soon.
After that it was a bit of Dave Matthews and some more Damien Rice from last night.
I feel like I see things better now than I did all those years ago. Some of it, I'm sure, is that my rhythm in reading tab and reproducing it is better now than it was then. I feel like my ear is coming back around, too, with all of the work I've been doing figuring out songs from records.
Things may be a little bit haphazard right now, with both posts and progress feeling a bit all over the place, but I can tell the improvement is there, and that keeps me pressing on to see what comes next.
