The company's gone now, so after work tonight, I sat down with the Strat and tried to get my fingers back in shape. Having played only sporadically in the last few days, it was nice to get back to the routine. I dragged out the tabs that came with one of my Guitar World DVDs (something to do with lead playing), and used that to get my fingers used to moving again. I also messed around (more in theory than in actual practice) with "Keep Your Hands To Yourself" by The Georgia Satellites, one of the tunes I wound up with in the music I got from my company. I always have loved that song.
Short one today. I've got a bunch of the DVDs that Guitar World has put out. Waded through those to see what I had, worked off of the lead guitar one. Just basic scales , but still a light place to begin. It was nice to just start loosening up my fingers again. Off from work tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get a lot of playing done. Said I'd mention the other project I'm hoping to finish this year. Back when I was living in WI, I started a hard rock band with a friend of mine. She was heavily influenced by Evanescence, and so, with her as vocalist, we started writing songs. We had written and demoed almost a full album's worth of music by the time I moved to IA, and had even purchased a P.A. in preparation for eventual gigs. We never did find a permanent drummer or bassist, so our demos sound very rough (and not nearly loud enough). I'd like to finish those songs, and make an EP of the 4 or 5 strongest, just as a way to put a cap on that project. More tom...
