Today started out much like yesterday. Got up, did some more reading through some of the literature I have on scales. Played for a short while before Mom dropped in a little after 10. Sat with the guitar in my lap, and chorded & soloed through the current demo while taking "Happy Birthday" phone calls. Reluctantly put down the axe to go have lunch, etc. but while I was out, I stopped at Half Price Books, and left there with "Help" on DVD, "Tom Dowd & The Language of Music" on DVD, and Hendrix's "Electric Ladyland" on vinyl. All in all, not the most productive day when it comes to playing, but definitely picked up a little inspiration along the way. Working tomorrow, but have the evening free, am hoping to get a good chunk of playing in tomorrow night. As it sits right now, my week sets up well time-wise, so that's exciting.
So, apparently the new Airborne EP that came out yesterday is MP3 only! Downloaded that as soon as I figured it out this morning, but didn't have time to sync the ipod after doing so. Therefore, I naturally had a ton of time to listen tonight that was away from my computer. On the plus side, though, I was able to spend some of that extra time with a guitar in my hands, working on the chord progression for this month's song. I've got an opening chord change that I really like, and the flicker of a two guitar approach, with one of the two parts capoed up the neck dancing somewhere in the back of my brain. If all goes according to plan, it could work out really well. Also, finally over halfway in the Grohl bio. Considering I was hardly home at all today, I feel like I got a decent chunk of that read. Tomorrow should (hopefully) be another decent day for music, with a chance to play in the evening, and enough time for a few runs through the Airborne EP....
